I've had my S20 for close to 4 years - and I don't really change phones that often - so whilst looking at deals for offline phones I noticed that a certain Rainforest has several sellers offering the S24 ultra at just over £700.

Most of these sellers have reasonably good feedback and obviously the catch is that the phones, whilst new, are grey imports.

Considering how much cheaper they are, it does seem rather tempting.
So I guess the question is, would these phones be usable in the UK, that is to say would there be any restrictions, problems with Samsung UK, limitations, or any other hindrence in their use?

any ideas appreciated

I wouldn't really consider that 'cheap', those of us who got it at launch over 9 months ago paid ~£800 (not including trade in) for the S24U 512GB and it's been similar or even less direct from Samsung many times as well since.

If I was in your position I would wait a couple of months for S25U launch, probably be around the same price again with all the discounts.

You got yours at an unbeatable price, uk spec and no contract? Where from?

I would wait for the next time Samsung have a £300 trade-in for any S phone deal.

Or wait until January for the S25 where again you might get £300 for your S20
