To borrow a phrase, it’s fast becoming “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” It’s now hard to understand Samsung’s plan for the long-awaited stable release of Android 15 / One UI 7 to owners of recent flagships.

Buying an Android phone in 2025 is an exciting if daunting prospect thanks to the sheer number of available devices in the UK. Brands such as Samsung and Google may be the go-to bestsellers, but rivals such as OnePlus, Xiaomi and Honor have also released excellent high-end alternatives in recent weeks.

Samsung's latest Galaxy S25 range are some of the best phones money can buy, but they aren't exactly cheap. Prices start from at least £799 and things can rise to over £1,200 if you opt for the ultimate Ultra model. If that simply sounds way too much for your bank account to handle, there is better news on the horizon.

Samsung is offering £200 for any broken or long-forgotten phones that are gathering dust in your drawers. It's all thanks to a supercharged new trade-in offer when you add the Galaxy S25, S25+, or Galaxy S25 Ultra to your shopping basket on the Samsung online store.

Samsung is launching the Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy A26 as its latest mid-range phones, and they have One UI 7 at launch.
