Last chance to get £150 off Samsung phone as rare discount ends in hours
It takes a lot of time and money to upgrade a smartphone - not only are shoppers looking for a cheap price but also ensuring the deals they come across are genuinely worthwhile. Anyone looking at Samsung for their next Android device can currently save big on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The biggest device in Samsung's newest 2-25 'S Range', the Ultra sits above the standard S25 and S25 Plus when it comes to size, camera performance, and speed. This added 'oomph' sees techies pay more for it. For a limited time, it's now £150 cheaper to buy.
All thanks to Samsung's newest deal, as it's cut from £1,249 to £1,099 on the 256GB model, a price which is matched by the likes of Amazon, Very, and Currys. On top of that, anyone with an old device lying around in their cupboard at home can cut up to as much as £550 off the price when they trade in another phone, although this all depends on the type of handset, so it's worth looking at.

Not to mention the free pair of Galaxy Buds 3Pro Samsung is offering for free (usually £219) for shoppers who buy the S25 Ultra device. There's a lot to unpack here, and three different ways shoppers can make a saving when shopping upfront. However, buyers looking for a pay-as-you-go retailer should also look at Mobiles.co.uk as it picks the GalaxyWatch 7 on some plans as an S25 Ultra freebie, something Samsung is not currently offering.
All three parts of Samsung's store deals have different deadlines. Shoppers who want to catch all three discounts only have hours left, as the trade-in part of the deal ends at 11:59 tonight, Tuesday, May 6. For shoppers interested in the main - which cuts £150 off the price - then that deadline is May 13. And onto the free pair of earphones, this deal is around until later on in the month, as it ends May 20.
Galaxy S25 Ultra 256GB
Samsung has launched three different S25 Ultra deals, that can all be bundled together if shoppers beat the 11:59 deadline tonight May 6. There's £150 off the price, and extra discount for trade-in shoppers, and a free pair of Galaxy Bud earphones.
The set of free earbuds must be claimed at Samsung's website within 30 days of purchase. Additionally, the phone comes with Google One AI Premium – Google's most powerful AI – and 2TB of cloud storage for six months. The S25 Ultra is currently the most flagship mobile Samsung shoppers can buy, and it has a lot of rave reviews.
As one Samsung shopper said: "I'm still discovering what it can do as there is so much, but I am loving the camera and the AI features. The picture quality of the screen is amazing.
"The speed of performance is excellent. It can last me for days on a single charge with medium/heavy use. I'm still getting used to the switch in design for the buttons, but that's not an issue. I would recommend this phone to anyone."
Another said: "It's a great phone, battery life is great, I have not found much difference from the S24 ultra." Also speaking of the battery life, another shopper said that they were 'disappointed with the lack of rapid charge'.
We've already mentioned retailer Mobiles.co.uk above, as their deal standouts most to us when it comes to freebie offers. To help shoppers look around we've also looked at what Sky Mobile and iD Mobile are offering.
Shoppers could also pick iD Mobile's newest deal, which cuts the device into payments of£38.99 per month, ideal for those who want to split the cost. However, this does come with a £99 upfront fee. Over the full 24-month term, shoppers will pay £1,055.76 - a saving of more than £40 compared to Samsung's asking price
Sky Mobile tosses in its own tempting deal with the 256GB model fetching for £42 monthly and no upfront fees like iD Mobile– and they sweeten it with complimentary Buds3 Pro and Google One AI Premium. Shoppers however need to commit to a 36-month plan for this deal, but they're flexible enough to offer a phone upgrade after 24 months.
With Sky's deal is worth looking into the T&C's as this is only the device price, not data. Adding data plans that skim from £0 for 100MB to £22 for all you can eat internet will bump up the monthly price. These plans are on a 12-month lease, not strangling you to the handset commitment.
