About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Carphone Warehouse are taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus (sim-free) at some of the cheapest prices I've seen:
32Gb model in Black or Gold - £599.99 (Samsung selling it online for £749.00)
64Gb model in Black or Gold - £679.99 (Samsung selling it online for £829.00)
I'm not sure if this qualifies for any of the Quidco cashback deals associated with CPW at the moment, perhaps someone else would like to confirm?

sorted byThe plus has an octacore processor as opposed to a quadcore, and 4gb of ram as opposed to 3gb, so should run faster and more responsive generally and cope better with more simultaneous (and bigger) apps open.
Apparently, although screen size and resolution are the same, the plus screen has more colours and better black levels and contrast, and is overall a better screen.
I believe both the cameras are upgraded, and with extra functionality, the main camera has been better optimised for lowlight photography, and the selfie camera is higher resolution.
I belive the battery charging speed is quicker, though the Note 4 had a slightly larger battery. I read that the plus is more battery efficient and runs longer, despite the smaller battery and more powerful internals.
In theory, the plus should be better supported for future updates of android.
Supports UHQ audio.
Video camera has built in stabiliser for smoother camera movement in your recordings.
Less bloatware pre-installed.
Better quality built in speakers.
That's all I can think of right now...

I got a zenfone 2 in the US. Checked that the bands were available as used in the UK manually but also used willmyphonework.net doesn't look like this phone is listed there yet though unfortunately. I haven't had any problems getting 4g from any network.
EE shop selling for £29.99 upfront and £19.99 per month.
Only 1gb of data though.
On the other hand, I'm very enthusiastic about the S6 Edge Plus, because whilst I loved the big screen, raw power and SD card slot of the Note, the one feature I didn't feel I was really making best use of was the stylus and freehand functionality. So, by keeping all the features I liked the Note for, and stripping off the ones I didn't really use, I'm hoping this handset will give me the 'Note experience' I've enjoyed from my previous two phones, but without paying out for features I'm not interested in.
I imagine this is the case for many others, which is why they've come up with this Plus model. Of course, limiting the release of the Note will leave a lot of 'true' Note users out in the cold, and may end up being a strategic mistake for Samsung, leaving them without that niche they had established with the Note.
If they start limiting the territories they will release the Note to, then it could spell the gradual decline of the model. That would be a real shame, as I believe it is the best freehand-capable handset available.
I was stunned that Samsung were selling the S6 Edge Plus for £829 on their website! It seems a lot if you think if it as a stripped down Note model. I suppose putting the edge technology on it is what has kept the price so high. Personally, I would ha e released a non-edge S6 Plus option as well.

A 'good deal' involves finding a competitive sale price for a product that is comparably cheaper than what other vendors are offering it for.
The actual price of the product is irrelevant.
Perhaps you're mistaking the finding of a good deal on a high-end product for simply making a compromise, and opting for an alternative lower-end product instead?
Even people buying expensive items want to get the best possible price. ;-)

not there any more.
Looking on CPW you can get 10GB of data package from Vodafone for £44 a month with £99.99 upfront, suppose that will save you about £100 overall if it helps - maybe you can haggle Vodafone down some more though. This comes with a "free" wireless charger too mind.
Wow Lucas, I wasn't expecting such a detailed answer. Thanks for taking the time to explain ! Looks like I'll be buying the edge. One fact I read on the plus which isn't listed in the specs is the ability to pick the plus up from a flat surface owing to the curved sides.

I'm not sure you are aware of how this site works. No matter the price or the product, if it's the cheapest it's a deal.
Some people are smart and put money away to buy a phone. What's better...spending £40-45 a month over 24 months and getting 1-2GB data, or this - £599 plus a £15 a month sim only with no data limit and you can change your phone whenever you like. It's not tough to work out.
Even the people with more money want deals. and £40 a month saved...I wouldn't exactly call that person rich.
I have not read all of the rest of this thread, and someone, may have said this to you, but, make sure you put a local sim in the phone whilst in vegas, and make a minimum of 5 minutes of calls, to release the region lock on the phone, if you don't it won't work in Europe when you get back. I believe Samsung have this lock in place still, unless, someone has new info, it's to stop people, phone trafficking/profiteering.

Hopefully, this will take away some of your battery worries, etc, this phone should be a sort of n5, without the spen and its software, But with the added benefit of the edge screen.
Oh, the burn in thing, I don't like making this list, but to hopefully comfort you, here goes.

Not even one with burn in of any kind, and , of the eight amoled specimens we personally own, even the batteries are all functioning very well , some seem as good as new, but have bought n1 replacement battery for future proofing , in case they get discontinued . In the early days apple , being threatened by the infinite contrast ratio of s amoleds arrival, many supposed pictures and video's , plagued the net, it caused , me, to look and check, that is, till I begane to see the common slant of the threds and saw the hand of rival Pr apon it., I'm led to suppose, some characters, with good commercial reason, took examples , and, turning the brightness to full, left them plugged into the mains , switched on , and then when they came back from their week/months, vacation, they had the Pr scoop of the month.
For me, nothing comes close to s amoled, and, it seems the professional testers agree, the final testimony is, a family members spouse, who has not left the apple camp to this day, but doesn't, justify apple any more, when he saw the tab s screen , just went silent, he asked question after question, when he went home, concluding his, air or ithingy tablet couldn't hold a candle to that machine, again I stress, he still hasn't moved, but he is very uneasy, and doesnt mention iproducts any more. It's just come to my thoughts, the same person, who has very expensive watches,not smart, has notices my s amoled gear s, and I catch him sneakily looking , lol
No if you you like samsung phones, for all the other reasons, you'll also get the best phone screen technology money can buy. Good luck,whatever brand you decide to buy,

People on here complaining about the high price but then waste their money on real junk are equally stupid.
The average wage in the UK is £27k. Therefore most people shouldn't be buying iphones or this phone or new cars yet this doesnt stop people. Even on a salary of £100k people shouldn't be spending this much on phones.
However as a deal it is a significant saving of the RRP and should be treated as such. Of course it will drop in price quickly after a month or two.

I tend to agree. Do I need this phone? No. Could I get by on a cheap handset that costs me £25 a month instead of £44? Absolutely. But, People need to treat themselves. I'll be using the phone a fair bit, Music, SatNav, Calls, Social Networks etc. so personally I'd rather spend a little extra and enjoy my experience on a device I'll be stuck with for roughly 21 months.
I wonder if it's some kind of admin mistake on the website? I hope they honour the prices though, mine is already ordered! ;-)
Can happen, as when I Ordered the recent Smatchwatch 3 deal with them...

Utter bumholes
Just wasted an hour of my life in Cpw,
As mentioned earlier I had paid £94.99 to pick up instore, and initial email confirmed this, but subsequent ones showed £190.
They confirmed it was £190 and couldn't help me directly instore....even though they saw my original email, etc
...
Well after a lot of messing about, using my phone for about half an hour as their store phone doesn't get through, and being passed between staff, etc, I and a voucher being applied to my account, etc...
I just had enough, got a £190 refund and walked off.
Awful CS, Awful.
Shocking customer service. Did you show the manager your initial email showing £94.99?
Yup.
I have lodged a complaint etc. They have got back to me saying sorry, etc and that the staff should have used the voucher to give me the discount there and then.
I have a copy of the emails between us and will probably post here (edited etc) for any similar deals to warn others to be wary (this thread is kind of dead now).
They have given me a chance now to buy it at £94.99 (special code given to me), but they did not provide, as I had suggested, any kind of extra discount for a kind of compensation for my time, and having my phone being used for nearly half an hour, so I turned the offer down and told them why (even if they offered me £10 it would have been something).
I was not too bothered about the watch really, just wanted to try it out and seems a good deal. So now I am waiting on my refund of £189 to come through (should be fine), but that if I did not have that much money in my bank account, etc.
Really bad CS, all round. Told them I would buy from Amazon in future.
We morons are a special breed! :-P
I suppose the best we can do is just preorder at this price in good faith and hope that CPW honour their stated price when the time comes...

That is the galaxy S6 Edge they have released the S6 Edge Plus Last week
(edited)
Your right my bad haha good spot
Does anyone know if there are any downsides to buying in the US other than the plug? From what I can tell, the S6 edge plus will have all of the LTE bands I need for my network (three)
I would just make certain on that it is the same model you've seen the specs on especially as most American 4g networks are incompatible with European ones.
Also you may struggle to buy one sim free in most stores.
Folks who won't make the most of the features and specs are better off going for a cheaper, less premium handset - there do seem to be handsets at every price point, to suit every type of user these days.
£600 for this handset, at this time, is the best price I've seen. I'm sure it'll come down in price soon enough, possibly when the new iPhones are unveiled in September...
(edited)
Sure, but people are also happy to spend £100 upfront and £40/month for 24 months to buy something like this on contract.
I'd be much happier spending £700 up front and £140 on my cheapy three contract over the same time.
Or, you know, keeping it in my pants for five minutes until all the I-need-it-NOW children have got bored of theirs, and pick one up at half the price, nearly new.
