If you’re in the market for a new Galaxy S24 Ultra handset, Samsung has a new offering to tempt you.
Samsung’s premium Galaxy S24 Ultra handset was announced in January and since then the S24 family has become one of the best-selling smartphone ranges Samsung has seen. Still, the South Korean company has continued to push special offers, discounts and free accessories to keep sales high.
A recently announced deal offers UK customers the chance to not only buy the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but also pick up a free Galaxy Watch6 as part of the package.
This is not the only discount offered. Samsung offers £200 cashback after purchase, although you’ll need to claim this as a separate transaction and meet other criteria listed on the Samsung Cashback website.
Then you can trade in an existing smartphone for an extra discount. This depends on the model and condition; the company is quoting up to £395 for a Galaxy Z Fold4.
Finally, you have the free Galaxy Watch6, which will be added to your cart at checkout. The WearOS-powered smartwatch is a great companion to the S24 Ultra, but anyone considering this offering should be aware that Samsung is expected to launch the new Galaxy Watch7 range at the Galaxy Unpacked event next month.
