Samsung Week Kicks Off Early Black Friday Offers on Galaxy S26 Ultra, Z Fold 8 Ultra and TVs
Samsung is running a Samsung Week promotion in the UK through November 3, with trade-in discounts on the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Z Fold 8 Ultra, cashback on TVs and cuts across tablets, laptops and appliances.
The largest phone offers are on the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. The S26 Ultra carries a guaranteed minimum of £150 off when a customer trades in any other device, regardless of its age or condition. The Z Fold 8 Ultra offers trade-in discounts of up to £730 against selected smartphones, which TechRadar described as one of the bigger trade-in offers on the foldable since it launched earlier this year. The S26 Ultra deal does not include the cashback that accompanied an earlier Samsung promotion, the outlet noted.
On tablets, the recently released Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra combines a trade-in discount of up to £730 with a further £100 off for customers who check out using PayPal. TechRadar's review of the device found it powerful but judged the upgrade unnecessary for owners of recent high-end tablets.
Television buyers have several routes to a discount. Samsung is taking 20% off when a TV is bought with a soundbar, offering up to £500 cashback on selected sets, and allowing customers to trade in an old display and upgrade to a 2026 model for £250 less. The 65-inch version of the R85H, for example, is £400 off through a combined £200 discount and £200 cashback, with a further £150 off for recycling an old TV. The set uses an array of micro RGB LEDs for brightness and contrast, and supports a 144Hz refresh rate and variable refresh rate. TechRadar also flagged an offer on the latest version of The Frame, which ships with a bezel at no extra cost and can display artwork or photographs when not in use.
Other categories in the promotion include appliances at up to 20% off, laptops at up to £400 off, monitors with up to £300 cashback, and smartwatches bundled with a free Bupa Well+ subscription.
TechRadar deals editor James Pickard wrote that he doubted the early offers represented everything Samsung will put forward during the year-end sales, and said shoppers who do not find a discount on the product they want should check back next month, when the full Black Friday promotions begin.
Editor's Summary
Samsung's UK Samsung Week promotion runs until November 3 and uses trade-in credit and cashback to pull forward demand ahead of Black Friday, with the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Z Fold 8 Ultra carrying the headline phone discounts. The structure of the offers, which lean on trade-ins rather than straight price cuts, ties the size of the saving to the device a customer hands in, and further discounts are expected when the main Black Friday sales open next month.
