Questions people ask
What does "FE" mean?
Fan Edition. FE models take the main features of that year's Galaxy S, such as the big screen, 120Hz display and Galaxy AI, and cost less. They use a slightly slower chip than the standard model.
How long will my Galaxy get updates?
Galaxy S24, S24 FE and every S25 model get 7 years of Android and security updates from launch. Galaxy S22 and S23 models get 4 Android upgrades and 5 years of security updates from launch.
What is Galaxy AI?
Samsung's AI features, such as Circle to Search, Live Translate on calls, writing help and photo editing. It is built into the S24 and S25 series and was added to the S23 series by update. The S22 has some of these features.
Which grade should I choose?
Every grade works perfectly and passes the same tests. The grade only describes how the outside looks. Premium and Excellent look almost new, Good has light signs of use, and Fair shows visible marks for the lowest price. See real photos of each grade.
Will it work on my network?
Yes. Every phone we sell is unlocked and works on all UK networks, including EE, O2, Vodafone and Three.
