Estimated tariff for Samsung S8 Plus

My old Samsung S5 is due for renewal this month.

I covet the Samsung S8 Plus but I know it will be a premium model at a premium price but was curious as to what the monthly tariff is likely to be.

I have heard some reports it will be £ 45 a month +. Is it likely to be more than that ?

It'll probably be £50+ at launch, look at iPhone 7 Plus tariffs, I'd expect to see similar for the s8 Plus, at least in the first months after launch.

Thanks. Think I'll go with the S7 Edge

It's under 3 weeks until the details should be out, why not wait and see what Samsung say on the 29th?

Though it's pretty much guaranteed to be very expensive (the sim free price is rumoured to be €899) and it will be another month after that before it's actually available...

And once the handset is announced/released to market it might be worth investigating third party retailers i.e. mobiles.co.uk as opposed to dealing directly with the network(s) as they sometimes offer the handsets cheaper and/or on lower tariffs/upfront costs.

Also consider buying out right on a credit card balance transfer and then get a SIM only deal to suit your needs.

Work on £800 - upfront payment, divide by number of months of contract and to that amount add whatever the SIM only monthly price is for the minute/text/call package you want.
