That is quite tempting

What exactly is the "programme" though? Can I essentially use it as a method of finance? Or will I be expected to trade it in another 12 months?

Just gone for it,can also pay off in full at any time.

Might sell the buds, already have a good pair of headphones

Quidco giving £100 cash back if bought from CPW (still get the free buds too)

Gerard · 20 Feb 2019 at 21:06

£1700,

Gonna be interesting to see how they develop screen protectors for the fold given the invisible seam.

Cosmic182 · 20 Feb 2019 at 21:09

Anyone think it's worth the upgrade from a s9+?
With trade in its £549...

Anyone buying that is off their nut!

Struggling to find any info of what happens if phone lost/stolen in the upgrade program, anyone know?

If it like the Apple upgrade programme they expect you to insure it against Loss/Theft, etc

Gerard · 20 Feb 2019 at 21:19

LOL at the presentation, when the folds price was announced you heard a whistle and a lot of crowd muttering. The price just sunk that entire presentation.

gizmoy2k · 20 Feb 2019 at 21:24

The fold is more of a concept device at this stage, crazy price but a sign of where the tech is going.

Uptake will be low but they will have wanted to get it out there in the real world to see how it holds up

Hmm, why do I get tempted

At the moment I am on a £33 a month S9 contract. 30GB data.

If I trade in my handset, I am presuming I can put in the above sim, pay for the S10 + through this programme?

That will mean £33 a month on my EE 30GB contract, plus £20ish for the S10+ = £53 overall. Would people advise this? And also, would the above actually work?

Yes would work all phones are simfree from Samsung so no problem with any sim

Tempted.
I will see what the reviews say. I guess I have a week or two to decide on this programme/tradein?
The idea of a 4100 battery and bigger screen is swaying me at the moment, on what would be a price plan that overall would work out pretty fair.
Also, when and how would I trade in my phone? Ideally I would like to send it after I have recived new phone, purely to ensure everything is setup fine

Gog · 20 Feb 2019 at 21:47

Pulled the trigger on an S10+. Will be my first Samsung phone. Roll on March 8.

Yeah I'm on a ee 20gb SIM only for £18pm. S10+ on that for under £40pm will not be beaten by any of the networks without a massive upfront payment ot 24month deal.

You need to read all the info, Samsung send you an envelope, you have to send trade in phone back to them within a couple of weeks of recieving your new handset.

Wear and tear only, no other damage or you might get charged .

Do you think you will cave in? Bit of a similar scenario to me. Actually, identical to me 6 months ago as I was on £20 a month sim only until I went onto my S9 plan. Admittedly without the S9 I would not get the £300 off.

With the trade in, how does it work? Do you send it before or after your new device has arrived?

Proc · 20 Feb 2019 at 22:04

Tempted by the upgrade program, currently got a S8 due for upgrade. I'm wanting something with a bigger screen for work & watching films etc and was thinking of the Pixel 3XL.

I know I will be able to pick this up pretty cheap now. But atm I'm paying £50 a month, and on current contract the upfront cost for S10 is either going to be huge or be more a month.

So £33 a month on the upgrade program and a cheap pay monthly Sim is tempting. Cba see what 3 are willing to do the Pixel 3 for and compare.

kona786 · 20 Feb 2019 at 22:19

I saw no mention of camera night mode or wired charging speeds.

Tobes · 20 Feb 2019 at 22:25

Very are doing 10% off if you buy with credit. So £720 for S10. Plus you can do the trade in offer
https://www.samsungtradeinoffer.co.uk/promo/very

So for me with an S7 (just saw the prices on ebay) it would make it £520. Plus possibly Quidco on Very but unlikely. Free earbuds.

Ordered haha

Only on a monthly contract afaik not if you buy it sim free

Interested by the 512gb S10+ but really want to see some more in-depth reviews and some more info on the cameras. In particular would be interested to see if they have anything like the Pixels nightsight mode.

How long can we expect some decent reviews?
