Samsung Galaxy Note 8 deals to get more expensive next week

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has been a triumphant return to grace for Samsung’s phablet series. It went on general sale on Friday, the same day that pre-orders opened for the iPhone 8 and reviews have been very positive.

If you shop around, you’ll notice that the prices of Galaxy Note 8 deals on contract are really quite similar to those of the iPhone 8. Take our favourite iPhone 8 launch deal for example – 10GB data on O2, £39 per month and £150 upfront for the iPhone 8. It’s exactly the same as this one on the Galaxy Note 8 - with a total cost of £1086 over two years.

So given that the iPhone 8 retails at £699 and the Note 8 at £869 (or £830 at Amazon right now), does that mean the Note 8 deals are cheap or are the iPhone 8 deals expensive?

Note 8 prices going up

We may have got our answer as we’ve received word that as of next week the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be going up in price. The SIM-free price will remain static, but prices of the best-value deals on contract will be going up.

This is largely due to the fact that most of the best value deals are currently available at Mobiles.co.uk. In our round-up of the best Samsung Note 8 deals, almost all our picks came from there, but the Carphone Warehouse owned site is now preparing to re-price all its Note 8 deals at midnight next Monday with countdown timers appearing next to the best deals.

We contacted Mobiles to get the lowdown and they confirmed that Note 8 deals are indeed to be priced upwards, with current exclusive promotions ending.

So the message from us is – if you’re planning on getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in the next month, strike now before the prices go up. You can browse and compare the best deals using our Note 8 price comparison tools.

Otherwise, you might be better off waiting until Black Friday.
