Sky beats Samsung by handing out a £220 freebie with new S25 Edge phones

Earlier this week Samsung took shoppers by surprise with its newest mobile, the Galaxy S25 Edge. An model to its existing 2025 S range it is thinner, lighter, and branded as an 'egineering feat' by industry experts. Despite the success from the brand, we've found a retailer trumping its price.

Sky Mobile is beating Samsung's price by throwing in a pair of £219 Buds3Pro for shoppers when they buy. All while offering the exact same free storage offer that Samsung has on its site.

Sky shoppers can buy the S25 Edge from £40 a month, which will tie them into a 36-month contract, with no upfront cost. And in line with a popular pre-order deal the bigger 512GB S25 Edge can be ordered for the same price as the 256GB one - with data added as an extra fee.

This matches Samsung's free storage offer too where the 512GB S25 Edge is on sale for £1,099 opposed to its £1,199 price, although this has since sold out at the Galaxy Store. Making Sky a fit when it comes to stock, not to mention the free Buds3 Pro earphones.

Get double storage and free earbuds at Sky

Sky beats Samsung's pre-order deal by matching the same double-storage offer but adding in a free pair of Galaxy Buds3 Pro for shoppers. However, while it offers the £219 earphones for £0 the price of the device works out more expensive after the 36-month contract. The monthly device price is highlighted below:

Another retailer on our radar is Mobiles.co.uk as it offers the new Galaxy model with the same storage offer and options to get money off with trade-in, depending on the network data plan shoppers pick. Another option for consumers who'd prefer to split the cost over a few years instead of paying the total cost at once.

Another retailer is Amazon, which states the Galaxy S25 Edge will be 'released on May 29.' It's also matching Samsung's £1,099 price on the 512GB model - an option to go for now that Samsung has seemingly sold out.

Shoppers who buy the Samsung model from Sky will get the £219 accessory for £0, but there is a list of requirements to stick to. Shoppers need to purchase the model between May 13 and May 29 (the date the free storage offer ends, too) to get the buds added to their order.

This doesn't appear in shoppers' baskets, but Sky says it will 'automatically appear in order confirmations'. The Buds3 Pro will be shipped out along with shoppers' new S25 Edge handset. For shoppers buying more than one Galaxy S25 Edge, it's worth noting that only one free accessory will be sent out per order.

Another thing to mention for Sky shoppers is its contract length, which is long at 36 months. Despite looking like a 24-month contract (in bold letters on the site) this is only the period when customers can swap their device, not when the contract ends - a feature which could catch some shoppers out.

Standard S25 drops by £200

As Samsung unveils the S25 Edge the standard Galaxy S25 is now hundreds cheaper to buy. As the price drops from £799 to £599 at Samsung.

Launching at £1,199, the S25 Edge is certainly one of the more expensive models to buy, a lot more than the S25 starting price of £799. Which is why the brand's previous Galaxy S25 could be of more interest.

The newest S25 Edge model's only downside (so far) is its smaller battery, which has less oomph than the standard S25 range despite being more expensive. However, it does feature the same speedy processor.

For non Android fans there's always the newer Apple model to consider too - the iPhone 16e. Which can be bought at Sky Mobile, Amazon, or O2.
