Lol it looks awful. One of the worst phones I have seen. The technology is not ready yet.

Certainly is unique, I'll give you that!
Not my cup of tea personally, but someone has to be an early adopter to let the rest of us know what it's like

SuprSi · 20-02-2019 10:04pm

Are the prices not the same as the S9 and S9+ when they were released? I know they're more expensive than others but they're great looking phones with a lot of features

a bargain at $2,000 - a lot of folding stuff required to get one.

the fold presentation doesn't look that bad -

Pre-order already available on carphonewarehouse for €50 deposit: https://www.carphonewarehouse.ie/samsung-galaxy-s10

dan786 · 20-02-2019 10:30pm

Preorders now on official Samsung site also. They offer dual sim models (hybrid) factory unlocked means quicker updates etc. Also trade in program (checked S9 Plus is 400 discount which is not bad).

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 20-02-2019 10:41pm

I am getting a page not found on the irish trade-in page?

A quick check on the UK site and the S9+ is not included in the trade in offer, only the S9. I wonder why? The S8 and S8+ are included.

PTH2009 · 20-02-2019 10:42pm

****ing hell those prices

How is the s10e compared too the s8 ???

Haven’t pre-ordered a phone before but I’m tempted now, any idea when bill pay prices usually go up online? No mention of it yet on that page.

Not sure. Vodafone said they'll have pre-orders available from tomorrow morning so I'm assuming they'll have bill-pay prices available then too.

In Sheep Shaggers post above, virgin media already have their bill-pay prices up now.

Just saw that, cheers. Decent pricing from Virgin but they run off the 3 network which was awful for me when I was with them, and I doubt it’s any better now. Hopefully the Vodafone upfront prices aren’t much worse, €249 at €60pm on Virgin for the 10+ is a price I’d be okay with paying on a more reliable network.

I'm also crossing my fingers on competitive pricing from Vodafone but comparing for example, the S9 Plus on both sites right now isn't looking promising. Virgin have it for €49 @ 60 P.M whereas Vodafone have it for €300 @ 60 P.M :rolleyes:

Yeah my contract was up in January and I got onto their live chat looking for a better deal on the 9+, they wouldn’t budge. I’m not expecting much from them on this, might have to wait for the price drop and miss out on the free Galaxy Buds.

To trade in simply add the S10 to cart and you will see the option at checkout with trade in values etc.

Buds will probably be on adverts for €100 in a few weeks

Which reminds me I must find the VR headset I got with the S7, I wonder if you can update those to USB C

Saw that, not that I am going to so soon but was curious to see what they value a note 9 at.

That's the exact same thing I was doing, I can't see the reason to upgrade the 9 to the S10, I think I'll hold off until the summer to upgrade my work phone and get the new note

Cina · 20-02-2019 11:27pm

Wow 300 trade in for the S8 is more than I'd get on adverts for it I'd say. The 10+ at 700 quid is a helluva lot more appealing now.

It’s still €100 I wouldn’t pay though, same as the free Gearfit 2 I got with the S7 Edge, wouldn’t have a notion of actually buying one. :pac:

Shn99 · 20-02-2019 11:29pm

Just doing the maths, the price diff from the S9 to the Note 9 was €150, S10 series went up by €50. Note 9 cost 1019 so its looking like the Note 10 will be around €1119-1169

Very good point, I find the headphones that came with the Note 9 to be excellent so I'd only be getting the buds as a gimmick, I know I'd probably either never charge them or lose 1 of them within a week. I got the S7 on preorder and got the free headset, I used it a few times and then threw it in a press, I must dig it out though, the kids would love it.

Royale with Cheese · 20-02-2019 11:35pm

I had the 6 edge, then upgraded to the 8+. I'm out at those prices, just not worth it for me. Going to wait for the OnePlus 7.

Clareman · 20-02-2019 11:38pm

I went from the S3 to the S6 Edge (amazing phone), then got a S7 for work, kept the S6 till last year when I got a Note 8 and then got the Note 9 a couple of months ago, I've just realised I've gone from 2 phones in 4 years to 5 phones in 4 years if I get a new 1 soon, oopsie.

Nothing about todays release would make me go out and get the 10, the fold looked brilliant on the screen behind the presenter but when yerman was showing it in use it looked terrible and seemed slow

BorneTobyWilde · 21-02-2019 2:22am

Some camera compare vids up on youtube, I think they sorted the camera at last. Looks promising.

If you trade in a phone, do you send it in straight away?

With Samsung?

They send you the packaging along with your new phone and you have up to seven days then to send it in.

Vodafone pricing is up. They want 400 up front for the S10 Plus @ 60 p.m

Jokers.

martyos121 · 21-02-2019 10:10am

Just after spotting it myself Misky, that's put me right off. Going to head in at lunch and get them to switch me to PAYG altogether. I get that it's a dear phone but that's taking the piss when you see the pricing on other networks.

I suppose they know they're the only crowd with good coverage in most parts and are taking advantage of that.

rizzee · 21-02-2019 10:19am

S10e 699
S10 849
S10+ 949

Vodafone PAYG Prices. Doesn't seem to be the yellow one anywhere, is this not available yet or just available on some sites?

kaizersoze · 21-02-2019 10:27am

Pre-ordered the green S10+ and traded an old iPhone 6 lying idle in a drawer.........now the wait!

jones · 21-02-2019 11:10am

Glad you can buy directly from Samsung now and the trade in for my S8+ is very good at 300. Still on contract with three until the summer but think I'll buy outright on this one.

The S10+ looks the business and nice jump from the S8+

dan786 · 21-02-2019 11:12am

The earbuds dont come with the phone. They have to claimed through the phone itself using the members app and can take upto 30 days after that to get them.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S. Forget the mental prices of Samsung

Samsung are usually extremely quick with fulfilling offers so I wouldn't think you'd be waiting too long to get the buds once ordered.

yabadabado · 21-02-2019 11:57am

Lovely looking phone.I can get 350 for S9 on trade in but think I'll wait a few weeks and see what the price drop is like.

Saw an article recently (might have been posted here) but the price drops on S phones since S6 have been fairly large and usually within 6/8 weeks of release.

Dont think it's worth buying now just to get the buds.Id probably never use them .

It’s not too bad for the S10+. Free Spotify, 15g allowance, unlimited texts and calls and 100 international minutes. Spotify is worth €10 p/m alone, and you can use your full data allowance in the EU.

True, problem is the price-drop won't be from Samsung themselves but from other sellers, which means I can't trade in my S8 for that sparkly 300 quid, and given it's now two years old I'd probably get bugger all for it on adverts, so even if the S10 drops 150/200 in 2 months I doubt I'll be making much profit, and then not getting those airbuds either (which you can also sell on if you don't want them!)

coach22 · 21-02-2019 12:02pm

The trade in values from Samsung are very good alright. Do not need this phone but 300 for my s8 is tempting!

Does Hybrid sim mean there is no SD Card Slot?

Mitch Connor · 21-02-2019 12:06pm

Eir looking for about €100 more for the S10+ than Three, for example. Can't understand that.

Hybrid means the 2nd slot can be used for either a SD Card or a 2nd SIM card.

Where did you see Three pricing?

Alligator Wine · 21-02-2019 12:20pm

Bought my S7 Edge through the Samsung UK site before and didn't have any problems. Considering getting the S10 through samsung.co.uk as I'd get £200 trade-in vs €200 on samsung.ie.

Does anyone have experience with their upgrade program? I'm not even sure I'd be eligible as I'm not based in the UK.
