Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 256GB SIM Free £1049 @ Affordable Mobiles

Just went for this one if anyone else is interested in Samsungs website…

The irony... buy this "affordable mobiles" for a grand.

I have an LG v50, quad dac, does everything I need, got it for £150.

I am long past the stage of spending £1k on a phone (edited)

All things considered, for a phone that has just been released and flagship - it's a very good deal.

I think some people on HUKD get confused on the difference between what is a 'deal' vs 'good value'. They are mutually exclusive events.

I've accepted that I will be buying an S23U to replace my ageing P30 Pro...do I bite now or wait until release date to see if any other offers

Waiting on the S46 Ultra Pro Max 11.5"

When will they ditch curved edge screens? It is a complete waste of valuable screen space, they make it 10x harder to reach important things often lost in the convex shaped vertices of the phone (if you can even make out what the pixels are trying to show), they make the overall cost of the screen far more expensive to manufacture and astronomically more expensive to repair or replace (which is why I presume they still do it). We really do need to stop entertaining it and buying these models. We need to put a stop to this nonsense!

Offer looked tempting -- until I saw that it has a pathetic 8GB RAM. It's an absolute ripoff at this price, sorry.

Phone should've launched with 12GB RAM minimum and at least 16GB on the higher end models.

EDIT: just watched a few reviews -- to add insult to injury, not only did they not upgrade the display, they had the nerve to downgrade the selfie camera to a 12MP sensor. Typical Scamsung -- take away or downgrade a new feature every year. Meanwhile, the much cheaper Chinese phones from OnePlus and Xiaomi will get the upgraded LTPO3 and LTPO4 displays for a fraction of the cost. Then Samsung wonders why they keep losing marketshare to cheaper Chinese brands every year. (edited)

Finally managed to order as the website was having a meltdown.
S23 Ultra 512GB with flip case for £1016.82 after trading in a broken J3....4.25% TCB has tracked too taking a further £42.74 off.
Was expecting to pay a lot more than £974.08 TBH (edited)

Just seen I can get a 512gb in exclusive colour from Samsung via BLC with £50 trade in for ANY phone for £1074

Crazy how the Red Magic 8 pro's internal spec is exactly the same but is only half the price of the S23 ultra.

That's great value compared to the typical 256gb solutions of a new release premium phone

No 512gb versions

Not a bad price. I was put off with the rumours that the price was going up by £100. So I got a mint condition refurb fold 4, that arrived earlier today. After playing with it for past few hours. I don't think I can go back to a traditional phone now.

But I would've traded up for a s23u as my other option as the price seems great in the op (edited)

dose anyone kown good deal on Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Can I load my emails in under 1 sec with this mobile

I thought this was pretty fair for 512gb Ultra. Anyone found a better deal with trade in? Unidays was £25 more. Only paid £400 for S21U 12 months ago

So can anyone clarify. Is the s23 ultra with double memory offer to 512gb. Is it the same 8gb ram as the 256gb model or is it they are giving you the 512gb model with 12gb ram. Doesn't say anything about it anywhere only memoet doubled to 512gb. If it's the 12gb model then I'm quite tempted. But I'm not Intrested in the 8gb Ram version

And the depreciation starts on day one

Very tempting phone. Very feature packed and has incredible specs.

But, as with all Samsung high end phones, the biggest worry is the lags and stutters that kick in after a few months. This one finally has a Snapdragon chipset, but even those variants suffer after a few months on Samsung devices.

I've had my OnePlus phone for 2 years and it's still smooth on the whole. That's why I worry about coughing up a lot on a phone that could be annoying after only a couple of months.

Doesn't seem a great deal when you can do this.
This has double the storage and a case for £33 cheaper and it only costs any broken phone. Buy a £20 phone off amazon if you have to.

If you have any phone that powers up to trade-in, this deal is not very good. I just got the 1TB version (4 x the storage) from Samsung directly for £1124 including £150 trade-in.

Remember when they used to slate iphone for the price and not including a power brick be worth 500 quid in 12 month when the next ones out
