Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in, plus free tablet and smartwatch at Verizon (opens in new tab)
It's hard to beat Verizon's Galaxy S23 Ultra deals if you're looking for big carrier value right now thanks to a combination of excellent freebies and an outstanding trade-in offer. Not only can you get up to $1,000 off a device with an unlimited data plan, but Verizon is also throwing in a free Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Tab S7 FE - two freebies that are worth over $800 by themselves. While you'll still need that pricey unlimited data plan to be eligible, this is a great promotion overall. 

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: up to $930 off with a trade, plus $100 store credit at Samsung (opens in new tab)
Samsung's own Galaxy S23 Ultra deals are a fantastic choice regardless of whether you're looking for a carrier or an unlocked device. Both types are available via the official retailer and both are available with excellent trade-in rebates - most of which match the big carrier offerings themselves. On top of this, Samsung is also throwing in $100 of store credit on top as a nice little bonus on top - particularly handy if you want to grab some accessories on the side. See our Samsung promo codes page for other ways to save at the official retailer.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: save up to $800 with a qualifying trade-in and switch to Xfinity Mobile (opens in new tab)
If you’ve been thinking about trading out that pricey big-data plan for a reasonably priced prepaid option, consider Xfinity Mobile’s latest Galaxy S23 Ultra deals. Right now the carrier is offering a huge saving of up to $800 on all three devices - eligible for new customers with a trade-in. Even if you're not trading in, the carrier is offering $500 off with a new line activation so this is a great all-around option if you're looking to save some cash on a shiny new flagship. 

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: up to $800 off with a trade-in at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
AT&T's recently pared back its Galaxy S23 Ultra deals from a maximum trade-in rebate of $1,000 down to $800. This is still pretty great overall but it's definitely worth noting that it's not the biggest deal we've seen on this device since launch. As always, you'll need an unlimited data plan to be eligible for this rebate also so factor that into your costs.

Best Buy's Galaxy S23 Ultra deals generally match the big carrier offerings when it comes to huge trade-in rebates. There is, however, another option at the retailer that's offering $100 activation rebates for those who pick up an unlocked device. That's not much, but it could be worth considering if you're looking to buy a device upfront.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: free Galaxy Buds2 , plus up to £600 off with trade-in at Samsung (opens in new tab)
A strong candidate for Galaxy S22 Ultra deal of the week in the UK, Samsung's own flexible array of promotions is well worth checking out if you're going unlocked. First up, this retailer is throwing in a free pair of Galaxy Buds2 - a pair of wireless earbuds worth £140 by themselves. Secondly, it's also offering a compelling trade-in rebate of up to £600 off, with a guaranteed minimum rebate of £150. Put together, you've got a really strong offering for those who'd prefer to skip the tariff. 

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: at Affordable Mobiles | O2| £79 upfront | unlimited data | unlimited calls and texts | £57 per month (opens in new tab)
One of the best unlimited data options we've seen in the initial batch of Galaxy S23 deals in the UK is this excellent 24-month O2 tariff from Affordable Mobiles. The retailer has recently reduced the upfront price on this one from £179 down to a really, really reasonable £79. That makes this tariff, which was already pretty good value, even better value when you consider it's all-you-can-eat data at a reasonable monthly rate.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: at Affordable Mobiles| Three | £124 upfront | 100GB data | unlimited calls and texts | £57 per month (opens in new tab)
Another strong offering from Affordable Mobiles, this Galaxy S23 Ultra deal on the Three network offers a reasonable amount of data, a fairly low upfront price, and decent monthly costs to boot. This is a fairly good all-rounder and one of the cheaper options we've found on the Three network this week.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: at Vodafone| Mobiles.co.uk| £425 upfront | 250GB data | unlimited calls and texts | £40 per month (opens in new tab)
A slightly cheaper option that still carries a decent amount of data is this Vodafone tariff at Mobiles.co.uk. 250GB is more than enough for most users and this one has a really reasonable monthly price. The downside? A fair amount to pay upfront, although this does result in a much lower total amount paid (£1,385).

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: at Vodafone| Vodafone| £49 upfront | unlimited data | unlimited calls and texts | £63 per month (opens in new tab)
If you're looking to trade in an old device, Vodafone itself is a solid option thanks to a massive trade-in rebate of up to £648 on offer. If you're bundling this one up with a plan, our pick for overall value is the Unlimited Max + 3 Xtra benefits plan, which is the basic unlimited data option without all the streaming benefits. Those who think they can do without all that data, however, may want to opt for the 100GB + 2 Xtra benefits plan for £27 per month.
