Samsung Galaxy S23 deals: Preorder Samsung’s latest Galaxy smartphones today

They might not be out until 17 February, but the Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra are all now available to preorder via all the UK’s major networks. There are stacks of extras to get your hands on if you order before the launch date, as well as money back via trade-in savings for your old handsets, so it’s well worth diving into these delightful deals further down this page.

What’s new with the S23? Well, in our short time with the cheapest of Samsung’s new models, we were impressed with what it has to offer given it has identical specs to the S23 Plus, minus the bigger battery and screen. Both the S23 and S23 Plus have seen a boost in battery size, jumping by 200mAh each (while the S23 Ultra stays the same at 5,000mAh) so all three devices should provide heaps of play time at high speeds via their brand-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chips.

Design-wise, the ‘Contour Cut’ rear camera housing found on the Galaxy S21 and S22 series is no more, with the cameras on the S23 and S23 Plus consisting of a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide unit and 10MP telephoto lens. The 23 Ultra, meanwhile, now uses a 200MP sensor, up from the 108MP unit previously. There’s also a 12MP selfie camera on all three devices, bumped up from the 10MP lens on the S22.

Since the Galaxy S23 costs £80 more than the S22 did at launch (£849 for the 128GB model), and the S23 Plus (£1,049) and S23 Ultra (£1,249) following suit with respective £100 price increases, it’s even more imperative you find the best Galaxy S23 deals to help keep costs as low as possible. And with most retailers offering the larger storage handsets for the same price as the base models, if you order before 17 February, you’ll want to get in quick. Luckily, we’re here to help: down below we’ve listed our favourite deals for data guzzlers, freebie fanatics and those who don’t want to pay a jot upfront.

The best Samsung Galaxy S23 preorder deals

1. Samsung: The best SIM-free Samsung Galaxy S23 deal

What’s better than getting your new smartphone directly from the source? Samsung is offering the SIM-free 256GB version of the Galaxy S23 for £849, which is the best price you’ll find. Samsung also says that it will refund the price difference even if you find it cheaper somewhere else within seven days of purchasing.

To sweeten the deal, you also get a choice of two exclusive colours that aren’t available anywhere else – Graphite and Lime – in addition to the four regular colours found elsewhere. Plus, you’ll be getting six months of free Disney Plus streaming worth almost £48, one-month free accidental damage worth £59 and up to £450 (if you have a Samsung device) when you trade in your old smartphone. That’s potentially saving you £557 on what would be a £959 purchase, bringing the total cost to just £506.

To get the 256GB version for £849, as well as get any money back with a phone trade-in, you’ll need to order before 16 February – otherwise, you’ll have to make do with the 128GB model and less money off your purchase.

Since you’re buying the handset outright, you’ll want to take a look at our best SIM-only deals and the best PAYG deals too.

The best Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra preorder deals

1. iD Mobile: Best deal with unlimited data

An exceptional smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra demands a massive data package to go with it. Our favourite unlimited data deal comes from iD Mobile, which provides the lowest total cost out of any we’ve seen at £1,335. The downside is you will need to pay £375 of that upfront, and then £40 every month, but given you’ll be paying less in the long run this is an excellent compromise. 

Contract length: 24 months; Upfront fee: £375; Monthly cost: £40; Lifetime cost: £1,335

2. Tesco Mobile: Best deal with no upfront cost

Since the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is such a high-cost handset, there are almost no deals without some kind of upfront cost. However, Tesco Mobile has bucked the trend and is offering an array of contracts without anything to pay straight away. Our favourite is its Clubcard holders special: 100GB of data for £79.74/mth on a 24-month plan. That’s roughly the same price as Tesco’s 25GB plan so you’ll be saving around £120 over the duration of your contract while getting a massive 75GB extra every month.
