Samsung shoppers race to get free tablet as retailer hands out freebies with S25 Ultra
The newest deals in town give Samsung S25 Ultra shoppers which has already been reduced in price by a number of retailers Samsung's S range phone is often considered one of the best and in the latest flurry of deals shoppers can now cut the price. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the flagship device and one of the best phones Samsung offers thanks to its big, bright screen and speedy internals. Samsung shoppers can now snap up some bundle deals. is offering a handful of freebies through its website, including a free Samsung Galaxy A9 tablet. Although this does depend on the model picked, as we explain below. For a limited period, the site is also offering six months of free Google One AI Premium with S25 Ultra purchases, on top of all the other freebies shoppers can bag with the phone. This means Samsung fans can get their hands on a whole host of new freebies when they pick up the S25 Ultra. is also running an enhanced trade-in for a limited time, meaning shoppers could pocket more cash by trading in their old device to save money on contracts or tariffs. One of our top picks is a 200GB deal from Vodafone with a Galaxy A9 Tablet, and six months of Google AI Premium for £50 upfront and £53 monthly. In total, shoppers will pay £1347 with the data and the freebies included. When users compare it to the £1249 price tag on Samsung, it's a fairly good offer with the free tablet, data and other extras, reports the Express. But if shoppers want to look elsewhere, there's also Carphone Warehouse, which has a range of other deals to explore. And for Apple fans, Giffgaff also has a reasonable monthly price on its iPhone 16 Pro with a £24 a month plan with a slightly more expensive £25 upfront cost if users want to shop around. Tech critics at The Daily Express nearly awarded the S25 Ultra a high score when reviewing the model. Tech editor David Snelling said: "Samsung has done it again and produced another spectacularly good smartphone. The Galaxy S25 Ultra looks great, features a stunning 6.9-inch screen, a brilliant camera, long battery life, and that supremely quick Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. "It also gets all of those Galaxy AI upgrades that can organise your life, retouch your photos, chat to you like a human and bring live football scores straight to the home screen." Nonetheless, not every aspect of the device was met with adoration by David, who commented: "It's all clever stuff, but for some, it might just be a bit too smart. "There's so much Artificial Intelligence now included it can all feel slightly overwhelming, and only power users (and true AI geeks) are going to get close to scratching the surface of what this device can really do. "That doesn't make this a bad phone. In fact, it's a very good phone. It just feels like all of Samsung's development is going into the software rather than boosting the hardware. Perhaps the AI boom for smartphones is because there's nothing else manufacturers can add or improve. You might ask yourself why you need a new phone at all - they say AI is the answer. "If the brilliant S24 Ultra gets the S25's Galaxy AI upgrades - and the price continues to fall due to its age - that might also be a better bet."

Samsung hands out £289 earphones for free - but with a catch
Samsung is handing out a huge accessory bundle for shoppers this bank holiday weekend, but the retailer may surprise you Anyone in need of a new pair of earphones or a smartwatch this summer, whether it's to relax by the pool, travel, or track your daily workouts. There's one bank holiday deal that'll give shoppers the two accessories for free. Anyone who buys Samsung's newest S25 Edge mobile will get a pair of Galaxy Buds3 Pro and a Galaxy Watch 7. Over at the Samsung store, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro retail for £219 on their own, the latest pair fitted with the Galaxy AI, a dual amplifier for better balance, and adaptive noise control. Tech site is adding the earphones and Watch7 to shoppers' online orders for free when they buy a new phone. Usually, the earphones and Watch 7 would cost more than £400 if bought separately. There is a catch, as it all depends on the plan bought. This does mean shoppers need to commit to a pay-monthly contract and can't get the freebie outright. The deal is on the £34.99 a month 500GB iD Mobile plan, which is 24-months long. All in all shoppers will walk away with more than £500 worth of freebies, as the Watch 7, earbuds, and a 45W fast charger is sent for free, for those who buy the S25 Edge. However, the watch will only be dispatched from May 30, which is when the handset moves from pre-order to on sale - so it's likely this deal won't be around for too long. Buying a new mobile for the sake of a free pair of earphones may sound excessive, but if you're in the market for an upgrade the S25 Edge is a model worth considering. Similar to Google and its Pixel 9a device, available here at Amazon for £449 or Apple's more recent iPhone 16e. This is available to buy at EE either on contract or £599 upfront, and despite its much cheaper price, it includes the A18 chip, the same as the bigger iPhone 16. Samsung unveiled the S25 Edge model months after the launch of its initial S range. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is the newest mobile from the brand, and the standout features come with its standout sleek design. Its thin frame is another selling point. The flagship model is also a powerhouse of speed, with the same Snapdragon 8 Elite processor for Galaxy bundled inside as the S25 Series models. However, its price has been a flagged downside to the model, as it's more expensive than industry experts initially thought it would be, launching at more than £1,000. Another downside is its battery life, which isn't as good as the rival S25, S25+, or S25 Ultra models.
