If you are looking to buy a new Galaxy S24 Ultra mobile phone, Samsung has a new offer to tempt you.
Samsung’s premium Galaxy S24 Ultra handset was announced in January and since then the S24 family has become one of Samsung’s best-selling smartphone series. Nevertheless, the South Korean company has continued to offer special offers, discounts and free accessories to keep sales high.
A recently announced offer gives UK customers the opportunity to not only purchase the Galaxy S24 Ultra but also receive a free Galaxy Watch6 in the bundle.
This isn’t the only discount on offer. Samsung is offering £200 cashback after purchase, although you’ll need to claim this as a separate transaction and meet other criteria listed on the Samsung Cashback website.
You can then trade in an existing smartphone for an additional discount. This depends on the model and condition; the company is charging up to £395 for a Galaxy Z Fold4.
Finally, there’s the free Galaxy Watch6 that’s added to your cart at checkout. The WearOS-based smartwatch is a great companion to the S24 Ultra, but anyone considering this deal should know that Samsung is expected to unveil the new Galaxy Watch7 range at next month’s Galaxy Unpacked event.

Update: Saturday, June 22.
Samsung has confirmed another discount available to those who purchase a new Galaxy S24 Ultra before the end of the month.
If customers use the Samsung Shop app, they can enter the code APP24 at checkout to get an additional ten percent off their basket. With the Galaxy S24 Ultra costing between £1249 and £1549 here in the UK, up to £155 off is available through the Shop app, in addition to the £200 cashback and up to £395 through the trade-in program.
Would you believe there’s more? Right at the bottom of the page, you’ll find an option that lets you save thirty percent when you purchase a set of Galaxy Buds true wireless earbuds along with your new Galaxy smartphone. As with the Galaxy Watch6 on offer, Samsung is expected to unveil a new range of Galaxy Buds at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July.
Update: Sunday, June 23: While the Galaxy S24 Ultra is almost six months old (that’s almost halfway through its life in terms of a smartphone’s market lifespan), Samsung won’t be “leaving it behind” when it launches the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. Alongside the two foldable handsets will be an updated version of Samsung’s Android-based OneUI operating system.
Samsung will provide the first major update to Galaxy AI as part of this update. In addition to general optimizations and improvements to existing AI features, the South Korean company is expected to expand generative AI capabilities in the image editing software. One such feature will be in-painting, which will allow users to change the style of an entire image or generatively edit a small section of the image.
These updates will be backported to the Galaxy S24 platform and will be available for free. If you choose the S24 Ultra during the current offer, you can look forward to all the new Galaxy AI features at no additional cost.
The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event will see the launch of two new smartphones, the Z Fold 6 and the Z Flip 6, but both will be foldable devices. Unless there are any surprises, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will remain Samsung’s premium candybar phone.
