This story was updated on March 27th with details of a new Galaxy S25 discount code.
After handing out free Chromebooks, Samsung is now offering another generous device giveaway to Galaxy S24 buyers.
The promotion gifts a free Galaxy Fit 3 and Galaxy Buds FE to people who buy the Galaxy S24 or S24 FE. Combined, both devices are worth £158 ($203) and Samsung has also discounted last year’s flagship by £100 ($129). The promotion ends on April 15th and only applies to shoppers in the U.K.
The deal can be picked up at a wide range of shops, including Argos, Asda, Curry’s and others. It’s available widely because the devices are not bundled with the phone when purchased. Instead, buyers will have to submit a claim form to Samsung—receiving the watch and earbuds a month later.
Samsung has a dedicated giveaway site that details the process. But in essence, you will have to provide your proof of purchase, the device’s IMEI number and some personal details. This must be submitted within 30 days of purchase and if everything is done properly, Samsung says the gifts will be sent out within 45 days.
More Samsung Galaxy S24 Deals On The Way
This is not the first time Samsung has given away a free device, or service, to U.K. shoppers. Previously, the Korean company has handed out a free Chromebook, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Watch FE and a 12 month subscription to Disney Plus to Galaxy S24 buyers. This is alongside repeated device discounts.
U.S. Galaxy buyers aren’t so lucky, with free accessory devices rarely bundled with smartphones. Samsung U.S. does, however, offer some huge price cuts and eye-wateringly high trade-in prices. A recent Galaxy Z Flip 6 sale combined a straight $120 off the handset and up to $700 in trade-in value
Bundling more than one freebie with the Galaxy S24 is particularly generous, even considering Samsung’s penchant for giveaways. I suspect this is a way of silencing any doubts about buying last year’s tech, whilst also crowbarring people into the company’s ecosystem. The Galaxy Fit 3 and Galaxy Buds FE are Samsung’s cheapest wearables that are perennially discounted and often used as makeweights in promotions.
I don’t think it’s worth buying the Galaxy S24 just for these freebies, which are individually cheap anyway. Combined with the £100 off, it’s a solid deal. But the Galaxy S24’s price will only continue to drop as it moves further away from its release date. You will find better straight discounts over the coming months, either from Samsung or retailers looking to clear their remaining stock. Keep an eye on Amazon because it has repeatedly undercut manufacturer pricing in the last six months.
Update 27/03: Samsung is now running two additional promotions for the Galaxy S25 series, that repeats enhanced trade-in pricing and reintroduces a newly popular promotion tactic, a limited-time discount code. In the U.K., Samsung shoppers can use the code “SAVE25” to get £100 ($129.39) off the flagship.
This is separate, but similar, to the ”S25APP” voucher the Korean company emailed to registered Samsung website users last month, which knocked 5% off the total Galaxy S25 price.
The new code is also separate to the long-running “APP5” 5%-off code that can be applied when Galaxy devices are bought in the Samsung shop app (for first time buyers only). If you’re purchasing Samsung tech, it is worth looking out for exclusive discounts and bundle deals in the Samsung Shop app first. Or, at the very least, signing up to receive emails because the company regularly sends out discount codes.
