Those taking up Sky’s offer can claim their free Galaxy Watch8 directly from Samsung within 30 days of purchase. A condition is that customers must pay a £12 upfront charge and commit to a 36-month contract to access these rates.
Nevertheless, there is an option to upgrade to a fresh device after 24 months at no additional charge. Meanwhile, Samsung devotees can obtain a free laptop worth £399 with an alternative Galaxy S26 offer at Mobiles.co.uk, reports the Express.
Get a free Galaxy Watch8 with the Galaxy S26
Samsung is giving away a free Galaxy Watch8 when shoppers order a Galaxy S26, S26+ or S26 Ultra or Sky Mobile.
Buyers ordering one of the new S26 variants from the Currys-backed website can receive a free 14″ Chromebook Go, which carries an RRP of £399. For those who prefer purchasing their gadgets outright, both Amazon and Samsung currently charge £879 for the standard variant.
Samsung’s newest S series has garnered some remarkable reviews from tech experts since its February launch, with particular acclaim directed at the most powerful model, the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Technology Editor David Snelling awarded it 4.5 stars in his review and highlighted ‘one clever feature the iPhone can’t match’.
“The S26 Ultra is not only thinner and faster than before, but it now comes with a Privacy Display, which stops prying eyes from seeing what’s on the screen. Once activated in the settings, content magically disappears if you aren’t staring directly at it.
“That means strangers sitting next to you on the train won’t be able to read your texts or have a cheeky glance at the movie you are watching. It can even be set to only block out specific apps or certain notifications.
“Along with that smart screen, the Ultra gets a thinner design, long battery life and is now powered by the ultimate Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy from Qualcomm. There’s also an updated quad rear camera that snaps much better images at night, and video capture is further enhanced with upgraded Super Steady capabilities, which add a horizontal lock option for less wobble when shooting home movies.”
However, David also felt Samsung played it safe when it comes to the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s design, adding: “It looks quite similar to the Ultra phones that preceded it. Save for some tweaks to the camera bump, you’d be forgiven for mistaking the S26 Ultra for 2022’s S22 Ultra.”
He continued: “Samsung’s new smartphones get a big boost to their smart features thanks to a Galaxy AI upgrade. Samsung is promising a far more useful experience with updates such as Now Nudge, which offers relevant suggestions to help users stay in the flow without being distracted.
“For example, if a friend asks for photos from a recent trip, the Galaxy S26 automatically suggests photos from the Gallery. When receiving a message about a meeting, Galaxy S26 can recognise related Calendar entries and check for conflicts.”
