Snap up the latest Apple, Google or Samsung phone with these huge freebies

There are free ear buds, chargers and other accessories being handed out when shoppers upgrade to the latest phone

What makes buying the latest phone even better? Something free. That’s what shoppers are snapping up from Mobiles.co.uk, which is running a range of attractive deals on the latest Apple, Google, Samsung, and Motorola phones.

Buyers can get ear buds, wireless chargers and other accessories – with some worth over £200 – thrown in for free. That’s going to take the sting out of buying a new phone – and means customers get a little more than from other retailers.

The deals from Mobiles.co.uk cover a full range of phones, but let’s start with the phone that everyone is buying right now, the iPhone 17.

The iPhone 17 has had a huge upgrade in 2025, still rocking that sleek design that was introduced with the iPhone 16, but it now has a 6.3-inch display with 120Hz ProMotion for smoother visuals. It’s brighter at 3000 nits, while it’s powered by the new A19 chip, so the phone is faster.

There are upgrades to the cameras (both front and back) and longer battery life, making it a standout in Apple’s selection – and it’s a lot cheaper than the iPhone 17 Pro.

Mobiles.co.uk has a range of options that include the free Belkin MagSafe charger (worth £69.99). The cheapest deal overall has a larger upfront payment, but the option I’d choose would be to pay £39 upfront and then £38.99 a month for 100GB data on iD Mobile.

It’s a 24-month contract and there are price rises during the contract period, so consumers will end up paying £41.99 a month. This tariff avoids the big upfront cost, in exchange for slightly more expensive monthly payments.

Alternatively, GiffGaff are offering the iPhone 17 with £25 upfront and at £46.75 a month for 50GB data, so that Mobiles.co.uk deal looks good. Mobiles.co.uk is also offering the same offer for a free Belkin charger with the iPhone 17 Pro, but prices are naturally higher.

Using the tariff picker, shoppers can find a balance between upfront cost and monthly cost that suits different budgets. I’d choose the £59 upfront and £49.99 monthly, getting 100GB on iD Mobile.

It’s not just the Apple iPhone, there are attractive offers on Samsung Galaxy phones too. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the latest folding phone from Samsung. It has a slick design with squared edges, a wonderful display that fills the outside, while folding in half to fit in your pocket easily.

This phone was announced in July, is loaded with clever AI features and offers a great camera experience. But it also comes with a freebie, the free Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, which are a great set of earbuds. I use them myself every day and they offer great sound quality and excellent noise cancellation.

I’d choose the £29 upfront payment on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and then £34.99 a month on a 24-month tariff, which comes with 100GB data on iD Mobile. This avoids the high upfront costs while keeping the monthly cost in check. Again, there are price rises during the term of the deal, ending on £37.99 a month.

Get Samsung’s latest folding phone with free Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, with £29 upfront and from £34.99 monthly for 100GB data on iD Mobile.

If shoppers don’t want a folding phone, the offer for the free Galaxy Buds also extends to the Galaxy S25 models, the Galaxy S25 for £29 upfront and then £23.99 a month for 100GB data on iD Mobile. I compared this to Sky Mobile, where the price was £12 upfront, but then £38 a month for 50GB, so the Mobiles.co.uk deal is a better price.

However, Sky Mobile is offering a free Galaxy Watch 8, worth £319 as part of the deal. For shoppers interested in the free Pixel Buds 2 Pro, then there’s good news – the deal isn’t limited to Mobiles.co.uk – it is a Google the offer so it applies to all retailers, including Amazon.

However, if you’re after the Pixel phone, then I’d choose the Pixel 10 Pro with £59 upfront and then £33.99 a month for 100GB data on iD Mobile. That then allows you to claim the Pixel Buds Pro 2, which are again a great set of headphones.

Comparing the price to other retailers, on GiffGaff, the Pixel 10 Pro with a £50 upfront payment and a 100GB data plan comes in at £57.99 a month, so the Mobiles.co.uk price is definitely worth considering.

One thing that shoppers should do is make sure that all the right options are ticked when on Mobiles.co.uk – check that the phone you want has the storage you need and take advantage of the option to choose the amount upfront you want to pay – that means buyers can easily see how much a phone is going to cost over the duration of the contract.
