Tempted to switch to the Galaxy S23 or Galaxy S23+?
With its latest Black Friday offer, Samsung is doing everything in its power to convince you to make the move.
For a limited time, Samsung will pay £100 cashback when you add its flagship Galaxy S23 or Galaxy S23+ to your shopping basket. Not only that, but it'll also bundle a pair of its Galaxy Buds FE wireless earbuds (worth £99) and a 12-month subscription to Disney+ (worth £79.90) with every order.
It's a giveaway worth £278.90.
If you missed the launch event earlier this year, the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ are the latest entries in the flagship Galaxy S series, which competes head-to-head with the iPhone and Google Pixel. This range from Samsung is not to be confused with the Galaxy Z range, which is characterised by foldable screens.
Galaxy S smartphones arrive with a traditional flat screen, the best camera system that Samsung can muster, a choice of colourways, fast wired- and wireless charging, and support for speedy downloads over 5G and Wi-Fi 6.
The main difference between the Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S23+ is the size of the screen, with the former boasting a 6.1-inch display, while the latter stretches palms with its 6.6-inch panel. Both handsets use the same AMOLED screen complete with a 120Hz high-refresh rate for buttery-smooth animations and gameplay.
The edge-to-edge screens on both phones are only interrupted by a small cut-out for the front-facing 12-megapixel selfie camera. On the back, the Galaxy S23 series packs a triple-camera system that offers all of the photography tricks you'd expect at this price point, including super slow-motion video, 3x lossless optical zoom, an ultra-wide angle lens, portrait mode-style photos and videos.
Samsung earned an IP68 certification for Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+, which means they'll withstand 30 minutes in an unplanned bath of up to 1.5 metres — perfect if you suffer from chronic butter-fingers and regularly spill drinks over your smartphone or drop it into the toilet.
Samsung fans can buy the Galaxy S23 is four colours: Lavender, Cream, Phantom Black and Green. Although, Samsung has kept two additional colours exclusive to its own online and high street shops

Galaxy S23 starts from £849 with 128GB of non-expandable storage, while the Galaxy S23+ starts from £1,049 ...although that does come with a more generous 256GB of storage. If you want the maximum amount of storage in your pocket, you'll need to plump for the larger Galaxy S23+ as that tops out at 512GB compared to the smaller 256GB maximum available with the Galaxy S23.
When you've picked your handset and made the purchase, you'll need to redeem the £100 cashback and free Galaxy Buds FE offer from this page on the Samsung website.
The South Korean technology giant only needs proof that you've bought the correct model from a genuine retailer, so you won't need to buy the Galaxy S23 or Galaxy S23+ direct from Samsung if you'd rather shop elsewhere. Amazon, John Lewis, AO.com, and Very all offer the same models and you'll still be able to redeem the goodies from Samsung.
