Best Samsung Galaxy S20 deals: The best contract and SIM-free deals on the all-new S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra

First things first: no, you didn’t miss Galaxy numbers S11 through S19. For whatever reason, Samsung has decided to forego those ordinals in favour of branding the latest smartphone off its production line as the Galaxy S20. And with it comes its two jazzy siblings, the S20 Plus and S20 Ultra.

You can read our hands-on review of the Galaxy S20 for a detailed lowdown on Samsung’s new offering. And if you’re ready to take the plunge and buy one of these handsets, we’ve put together this round-up of the best Samsung Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra deals.

Of course, these being brand-spanking-new flagship devices, don’t expect any super-thrifty deals at this stage. We’ve gone square-eyed searching and scrolling through all the major retailer’s contract pages, and we’ve listed the best of them below along the usual criteria. Maybe you want to keep your initial costs low and take the hit later. Maybe all you care about is truckloads of data. Or maybe you just wanted to keep that monthly bill to a minimum.

Whatever the case, you’ll find the best deals on Samsung’s latest handsets below. We’ll keep updating this page with the best deals, so make sure you come back to check-in for the latest offerings. What if these contracts are beyond your budget? Take a look at our Samsung Galaxy S10 deals page – now the S20’s predecessor has been knocked off the flagship perch, we expect contract prices to start falling fast.

The best Samsung Galaxy S20 deals

Best for low upfront costs: EE

Sure, that 1GB of monthly data isn’t going to be enough for most people. But if you really want to keep your spending to a minimum, then take a look at this contract EE via Carphone Warehouse. You’ll only need to part with a tenner upfront – although the monthly bill will sting more, at £54.

Data: 1GB | Minutes: Unlimited | Texts: Unlimited | Contract length: 24 months | Monthly cost: £54 | Upfront cost: £10 | Lifetime cost: £1,260

Best for huge data: O2

While there are plenty of contracts out there with unlimited data, they come with prices that rather presume you have unlimited money in the bank. All but the greediest of data-guzzlers will be happy with the monthly 120GB available here, for a monthly cost of £45 and £50 upfront: not too bad at all for a flagship phone.

Data: 120GB | Minutes: Unlimited | Texts: Unlimited | Contract length: 24 months | Monthly cost: £45 | Upfront cost: £50 | Lifetime cost: £1,280

Best for low monthly costs: iD Mobile

By contrast, this contract from iD Mobile only offers a paltry 1GB of monthly data, but check out that monthly cost. Of course, you take the hit by parting with a quarter of a grand upfront. But hey: swings and roundabouts.

Data: 1GB | Minutes: Unlimited | Texts: Unlimited | Contract length: 24 months | Monthly cost: £27 | Upfront cost: £250 | Lifetime cost: £898

Best Samsung S20 Plus deals

Best for low upfront costs: Vodafone

If you want the 5G-ready Galaxy S20 Plus, £100 is the lowest you’ll be paying upfront (for now, at least). This Vodafone contract comes with a so-so 20GB of monthly data and a monthly bill of £57 – hardly cheap, but as cheap as a handset of this calibre gets.

Data: 20GB | Minutes: Unlimited | Texts: Unlimited | Contract length: 24 months | Monthly cost: £57 | Upfront cost: £100 | Lifetime cost: £1,468

Best for huge data: O2

With this contract from O2, meanwhile, you’ll be paying three times as much upfront, but £8 less each month, and you get an epic 90GB of monthly data. Seriously, how much Netflix do you need on your morning commute?

Data: 90GB | Minutes: Unlimited | Texts: Unlimited | Contract length: 24 months | Monthly cost: £49 | Upfront cost: £299 | Lifetime cost: £1,475

Best for low monthly costs: O2

It’s the competitive monthly rate of £49 that has made us include the same contract again – if you want the data but also want to keep your monthly outgoings in the sub-£50 category, then we strongly urge you to give this offering from O2 strong consideration.

Data: 90GB | Minutes: Unlimited | Texts: Unlimited | Contract length: 24 months | Monthly cost: £49 | Upfront cost: £299 | Lifetime cost: £1,475

Best Samsung S20 Ultra deals

Best for low upfront costs: Vodafone

While that monthly bill is enough to make anyone wince, it comes with unlimited data and the upfront cost of £100 won’t hit your wallet hard. Well, not that hard, anyway…

Data: Unlimited | Minutes: Unlimited | Texts: Unlimited | Contract length: 24 months | Monthly cost: £75 | Upfront cost: £100 | Lifetime cost: £1,900

Best for huge data: Vodafone

We’re featuring the same contract again – it will likely keep data addicts happy knowing they can stream and download to their heart’s content without ever running the risk of draining the barrel. Just try not to think about that overall cost, which comes in at (gasp) almost two grand.

Data: Unlimited | Minutes: Unlimited | Texts: Unlimited | Contract length: 24 months | Monthly cost: £75 | Upfront cost: £100 | Lifetime cost: £1,900

Best for low monthly costs: EE

The phrase ‘low monthly cost’ is a tough one to legitimately apply to a super-luxe handset like the S20 Ultra. But nonetheless, this contract from EE keeps the monthly bill beneath £50. And the lifetime cost of £1,586 is a relatively low one – do bear that meagre 10GB of data in mind, though.

Data: 10GB | Minutes: Unlimited | Texts: Unlimited | Contract length: 24 months | Monthly cost: £49 | Upfront cost: £410 | Lifetime cost: £1,586
