There's been a lot of talk lately about Galaxy S23 series prices and how Samsung's "next big things" could cost significantly more than their forerunners in various major markets around the world, but whether or not that will ultimately prove to be the case, you can always rely on the largest global smartphone manufacturer to sweeten its flagship deals with nice little freebies and discounts right off the bat.

While the actual phones are obviously not yet out and about, reservations have kicked off a couple of weeks back, allowing you to secure your place in front of the line for February 1 and guaranteeing some cool discounts with no strings attached and no obligation to buy anything if you change your mind.

In the specific case of the S23 family, Samsung is confirming on the business-friendly British Galaxy A23 5G webpage (of all places) that local customers will be able to pre-order its next-gen "vanilla" flagship with 256 gigs of internal storage space at the regular price of a 128GB variant.

The Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra, meanwhile, will be available in 512 gig configurations at the same prices as 256GB models, making the storage upgrade an absolute no-brainer and the existence of those lower-tier versions largely meaningless.

To our knowledge, there have been no (credible) rumors or leaks specifically dealing with UK prices, but a lot of "inside" information has recently come in from multiple European countries, as well as Australia and the US.

We know, we know, that's still pretty bad, representing a sharp increase from the original starting prices of the Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra, but the storage upgrades and (hopefully) the amazing launch trade-in deals and discounted accessories will make it seem like you're not spending a small fortune here.
