Samsung's £540 tech bundle is free with this Galaxy S26 deal - but it's selling fast

A Samsung tech bundle worth almost £540 can be snapped up for free when shoppers upgrade their smartphone this month. The particular deal just dropped at Sky Mobile and is available with each model in the Samsung Galaxy S26 range.

This includes the standard S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra. Anyone ordering one of these phones can get a Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Buds4 Pro - worth a combined £538 - at no extra cost.

Sky's monthly prices start at £30 for the base model, rising to £38 and £45 for the S26+ and S26 Ultra, respectively. After purchasing one of these phones, customers can claim their free smartwatch directly from Samsung, while the free earbuds will be dispatched from Sky within 30 days.

The deal is selling fast, though, as Sky has flagged the Galaxy S26 as 'in demand'. Each model also comes with a 100MB data allowance at no extra cost, with heavier users able to upgrade for additional cost should they need more.

To get the free Samsung bundle, customers must commit to one of Sky's 36-month contracts, but these can be upgraded at no extra cost to 24 months. A caveat is that Sky states its prices 'may change' during the minimum term.

Sky isn't the only retailer dishing out free gadgets, as Currys-backed site Mobiles.co.uk is offering a free Galaxy Chromebook Go laptop worth £399 with its own S26 deal. This rival deal is also available with each S26 model, but time is running out to claim it before the May 5 deadline.

Elsewhere, Amazon is knocking £100 off the Galaxy S26 when shoppers order by May 26, with the discount automatically applied at checkout. Technology Editor David Snelling was particularly impressed with a new addition to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, its Privacy Display features.

He said: "The Galaxy S26 Ultra has had a massive speed upgrade, comes in a range of new colours and gets some smarter AI features, but the one update everyone is talking about is its Privacy Display. This very clever screen can now stop prying eyes from glancing at your texts or having a sneaky peek when you punch in your password.

"It's all made possible by technology that allows the screen's pixels to move dynamically. This keeps the display visible when you look at it straight on, but it appears dim when viewed from the side by anyone around you.

"There's no doubt that the Privacy Display is a standout feature that Samsung's rivals can't match. It's simple to turn it on or off via the Quick panel drop-down menu, and you can even customise it to only blank out certain apps, messages or just your lockscreen password.

"The moment the Privacy Display is activated, Samsung's dazzling 6.9-inch AMOLED screen instantly looks muted and dull due to the loss of some pixels in order to make the angled viewing possible."

However, David also noted a potential flaw with the S26 Ultra's Privacy Display, adding: "It makes the whole visual experience look much less premium. I've also noticed an issue when taking photos - especially when snapping things at an angle.

"If you aren't looking directly at the screen, the objects you are trying to shoot aren't clear on the screen, making it hard to get that perfect Instagram-ready snap."

Despite this, he continued: "The Galaxy S26 Ultra is an incredible device I would happily recommend to anyone looking for a super-premium Android flagship. It's blisteringly fast, gets that clever screen, long battery life, cracking cameras and neat S Pen inside its shell."
