And for those wanting some alternatives, there’s plenty of options to choose from. For Apple fans not interested in waiting for the new iPhone, there’s also a load of Apple deals for those investing in the iOS ecosystem. Carphone Warehouse has a handful of deals with prices starting from £29.99 a month.
There’s also the newest Google Pixel 10 phones that can be snapped up. Mobiles.co.uk is selling the Pixel 10 Pro with a bundle of freebies for £41.99 a month.
Our deputy tech editor, Henry Burrell, also reviewed the Galaxy S25 and S25+ when it was released and was massively impressed with the great performance, solid battery life and excellent software. He added: “I won’t bury the lede with this review of the Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus. These phones are incredibly similar to every Galaxy S phone Samsung has released since the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus in 2022.
“If you’re coming from a Galaxy S21 or another phone from 2021 or older, the S25 range represents big upgrades in build quality, battery life, camera performance and software perks.”
However, he wasn’t a fan of how the design or cameras haven’t changed in more current phones. He added: “The design has barely changed, and the cameras are literally the same, meaning if you are looking to upgrade your Android phone, there isn’t a lot here that’s new – on paper, at least. That’s not to say these aren’t excellent phone(s), because they are.
