Samsung

Samsung operates its own online store where all the new Galaxy S10 phones are sold. There are three colors to choose from if you buy the Galaxy S10 or S10 Plus — white, black, or green — while the S10e also comes in canary yellow. The prices are all as above, and if you buy through Samsung you get a free wireless charging pad. Samsung also operates a trade-in system, where giving Samsung your old phone could net a discount of up to 300 British pounds on the new model.

Carphone Warehouse

The Galaxy S10 range is available in Carphone Warehouse’s online store and in its retail stores. The prices and color options match those seen on the Samsung website. Trade-in deals are also available and the prices are slightly better than Samsung’s, provided you buy the phone with a new contract.

Argos

All Galaxy S10 phones except for the 1TB Galaxy S10 Plus are sold at Argos, all at the same prices as above, and in the standard colors.

Networks

If you want to buy a Galaxy S10 with a contract, all major U.K. networks stock the phone and offer various monthly plans.

  • EE is your best bet if you want the Galaxy S10 or S10 Plus with more storage space, as it not only sells the 512GB versions which some other networks do not offer, but also adds a fast wireless charger for free to both. The Galaxy S10e is also sold, and there are trade-in deals, too.
  • Vodafone sells the Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, and S10e on various plans. If you’re trading in a phone, and signing a new contract, make sure you check Vodafone’s offer as some phones will also be offered with a discount on your monthly plan.
  • Three sells all Galaxy S10 models at the expected prices, but only has the 128GB version listed online.
  • Like the rest, O2 has all three Galaxy S10 phones at the standard prices, on several monthly plans, and in all colors. There are trade-in deals for your old phone, too.

Should you buy now?

If you need a new phone, and the Galaxy S10 is the one for you, at the moment prices and deals are almost identical regardless of where you buy the phone. You may find slightly better trade-in deals depending on the phone you have, so do take a look at these before making a final decision.

However, if you’re happy to wait for around three months, data from PriceSpy suggests the cost of an S10 phone will fall by 200 British pounds, based on what has happened with previous Galaxy models. PriceSpy shows the Galaxy S9 cost 740 British pounds at launch in March 2018, but cost on average 500 pounds by the end of June — a 35 percent drop. It could be worth holding on for a few months if saving money is more important than getting a replacement phone immediately.

Updated on March 8, 2019: The Galaxy S10 range is now available to buy, and we’ve updated prices and deals accordingly.

Samsung’s new vegan leather Galaxy S25 Ultra case is already my favorite

I love leather cases for phones, and while companies like Apple have moved away from making their own, third parties like Nomad have made some of the best leather cases for the iPhone 16 series. However, when it comes to the best Android phones, the choice is much sparser.

Recognizing this, Samsung has progressively increased the range of cases that it makes itself over the past few generations of its flagship phones. Whereas the company used to have just a few choices, now the range of cases is vast and the best Galaxy S25 cases include everything from Hershey’s branded cases to a case that’ll make anyone a fan of Crocs.

This is the best Samsung Galaxy S25 color you should buy
Samsung Galaxy S25 series phones in the hands of a person.

The new Galaxy S25 series is here and Samsung’s latest flagships come in various colors. Some of these colors are muted and designed for those who want a more traditional experience, while others are more vibrant and designed to help your new phone stand out.

Although most people use a case — and I recommend picking up one of the best Galaxy S25 cases for this year’s phones, you may want a colorful telephone that you can look at, especially if you plan to use a transparent case. However, with seven choices for the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus including the online exclusive colors, and six for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which color is the best?

Samsung’s next budget phone will charge faster than the Galaxy S25
A person holding the Samsung Galaxy S25.

Budget smartphones tend to draw less charging power than their flagship counterparts, leading to a long charging time. However, the FCC confirmed that Samsung's upcoming affordable offer, the Samsung Galaxy A56, will charge a little bit faster than the Samsung Galaxy S25.

Per a report from GSMArena, the FCC confirmed in a leaked document that the Galaxy A56 will support 45-watt charging, which might help it charge a little quicker than the Galaxy S25. This comes from the "status information" screenshot showing that the budget Galaxy model is rated for 10 volts at 4.5 amps, directly translating it to 45W of battery charging power.
