Our take: Checked price

A large-screen phone with 256 GB storage and Samsung’s seven-year security-update promise from launch. Consider it for the larger display and camera system, with the UK/EU stock qualification kept visible.

The catch

This is UK/EU stock rather than a UK-only identifier. Free delivery applies to most UK addresses, so postcode exceptions may cost more.

Our take: Checked price

This White 256 GB configuration offers the Ultra’s large display and Samsung’s seven-year security-update promise from launch. Check the UK/EU region and postcode delivery terms before ordering.

The catch

This is UK/EU stock rather than a UK-only identifier. Free delivery applies to most UK addresses, so check the final charge if your postcode is excluded.

Our take

Extremely capable, but its value case depends on using the zoom cameras or S Pen rather than simply wanting Samsung's newest phone.
