UK prices revealed for the Galaxy S6, S6 edge

UK carrier O2 has published its pricing for customers who order either of Samsung’s newest devices through the carrier’s Refresh plan: Galaxy S6 customers can expect to pay £99 up-front and the remainder each month, along with their individual phone plans. For someone who purchases a 2GB plan with O2, for example, he or she will pay £38 a month. Pocket-Lint says that O2 customers who order the Galaxy S6 edge can expect to make the same up-front payment as S6 customers but will pay £48 a month in costs. O2 is encouraging sales of the Galaxy S6 edge, knowing that the last thing customers want to do is pay more out-of-pocket for Samsung’s most prestigious Galaxy S flagship.

Carrier EE is charging £49.99 up-front for both the S6 and S6 edge, while Vodafone requires no up-front cost for its S6 models. Carphone Warehouse is giving away a free wireless charger with its pre-orders, and this should relieve the jaw-dropping response to the up-front cost of £259.99 for the 64GB Galaxy S6 edge. The 32GB Galaxy S6 will cost £79.99 up-front.

Tesco Mobile has no up-front cost and is even throwing in a Double Data deal to encourage pre-orders.

Most UK customers can expect to pay the same monthly amount for their wireless plan that they’re paying currently, so the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge up-front costs are a one-time fee required when signing a new agreement. Of course, unless you pay the full amount up-front, you’ll have a monthly payment tacked on to the wireless plan charge.
