Three ways to get a Samsung tablet worth hundreds for £0

It’s not often we hear of flagship tech tablets being snapped up for free, but in a whirlwind sale, that’s what Samsung fans can find. The World Cup may have kicked off, but the brand has seemingly made a selection of its Galaxy tablets cost £0 - and here are three ways to get one.

It’s all for mobile shoppers, across its flagship fleet of Samsung phones, as £200+ tablets have dropped to £0. The retailers to earmark are Sky Mobile, Mobiles.co.uk and O2 - as we dive into the rival deals below.

Starting with the £249 Galaxy Tablet A11+ for £0, as Mobiles.co.uk and O2 go head-to-head to add it as a freebie to S26 contract shoppers. On an iD Mobile plan, shoppers can split the S26 price to £29.99 a month, across a 24-month contract.

There are two things worth noting on this deal - it comes with a pretty hefty £199 upfront fee, and there are price hikes. It will rise to £31.79 a month on April 1 2027, and up to £33.59 a month from April 1 2028.

The free Galaxy Tab A11+ is a powerful yet budget-friendly option; it has a crisp Full HD+ display, smooth 90 Hz refresh rate, and Dolby Atmos quad-speakers. However, it’s not got the same quality as a higher-end Galaxy S11 Ultra tablet - now available to buy at Samsung, this has a boosted AMOLED display and quicker speeds for gaming or in-depth work.

Shoppers who get the standard Galaxy S26 phone from Mobiles.co.uk can claim a free tablet after their mobile contract checkout.

Next, there’s O2’s rival option, as it too dishes out the Galaxy A11+ tablet for £0. But with a bigger catch. As shoppers here have to buy the Galaxy S26 Ultra device, a great, powerful phone and the most premium in Samsung’s fleet, but at a higher overall cost than the standard S26 sibling.

The S26 Ultra with Unlimited data at O2 works out to cost £66 a month with an upfront fee of £30 and is split between a pretty lengthy 36-month device plan and a 24-month airtime plan. Like Mobiles.co.uk, O2 also ups the price each year in line with inflation, which is worth shoppers looking out for.

But O2 and Mobiles.co.uk aren’t the only retailers offering a Samsung tablet for free, as Sky Mobile also comes into the mix - it’s handing out the smaller Galaxy Tab A11 worth £169 for £0. This is on the Samsung A57 5G mobile contract, a much more budget-friendly mobile option to consider. Shoppers will have to lock into a 36-month contract (like O2’s contract length) and pay £17 a month for the phone with an upfront cost of £12.

At Sky, data is billed on top, but the price for Unlimited is set at an extra £22 a month - bringing Sky’s monthly cost to £39 a month. Again, a downside is the price hikes, which Sky also does to mid-contract shoppers in line with inflation each year of the contract.

Free Galaxy A11 with A57 5G phone

Anyone who takes out a Galaxy A57 5G contract at Sky Mobile will get the smaller A11 tablet for free, if they claim within 30-days.

For shoppers who simply need a tablet and don't need to take out a lengthy mobile contract, Amazon has a deal worth considering. It has cut the price of the Lenovo Tab One to £92.64, a cheaper option for Android users.

For those not sure which mobile to pick - with the S26, S26 Ultra and A57 5G all an option, then it’ll depend on camera, battery, speed and quality. The Galaxy A57 5G is a budget option with a decent screen size but limited battery capacity. It’s cheaper for a reason, and it won’t beat the S range.

The S26 is the newest entry-level S range; it has a premium feel and advanced AI. Overshadowed by its bigger sibling, the S26 Ultra, which is the most premium S range phone you can get - of course, with its unique Privacy Display.

I’ve previously reviewed the S26 Ultra, and it has some eye-catching features which, in my opinion, make it worth the higher cost. I shared: “The S26 Ultra stands out from the other models in Samsung’s latest fleet thanks to its larger 6.9-inch display, S Pen, and unique Privacy Display. Among the other reasons to upgrade from an older Galaxy device is the range of features that have been added to its camera system. Out of the entire new AI photography and videography rollout, my top picks are the Horizontal Lock, AI Photo Assist and the Creative Studio, as I feel they make a substantial difference to content.”

I also highlighted the useful feature of Enhanced Now Nudge in my review, which can be used to pick out photos quickly from camera rolls. However, a downside to this is that its battery is always draining on necessity.

For all three Mobiles.co.uk, O2, and Sky Mobile deals shoppers will need to claim after their purchase at samsungoffers.claims - it’s not something that automatically gets added to the checkout. Shoppers will need to keep proof of purchase and claim within 30-days.
