EE slashes over £300 off Galaxy S23 as smartphone drops to one of cheapest prices since launch

The season of new tech launches is fast approaching as both Samsung and Apple prep to host their 2023 autumn releases. Ahead of this week's Galaxy Unpacked event, one retailer has cut the price of the flagship Galaxy device, the S23.

EE has taken more than £300 off the total price for all shoppers who buy the handset with a specific amount of data. Customers who take out EE's unlimited data plan alongside the handset will get £336 off the Galaxy S23 plan, as it's reduced from £71 to £51 a month.

The deal is offered on a 24-month plan which will see customers pay £1,398 for both the S23 handset and 24 months of an unlimited data package. Comparing this total price to EE's unlimited SIM-only plan (£30 a month just for the data) customers end up spending £678 for the handset with this handset and data plan combination, despite it selling for £849 at Samsung.
