Bargain hunters looking to nab a cheaper iPhone in the Black Friday sales don't need to wait, as Samsung's flagship smartphone has already dropped at one retailer. The deal is from giffgaff, which is offering the Galaxy S25 256GB with unlimited data for £31.09 per month. This is the cheapest price I've ever seen for an S25 with unlimited data since it was released in February. It equates to roughly £1 per day and saves £300 compared to the usual price tag, with shoppers only needing to pay a £20 upfront cost to secure the deal. Giffgaff also provides more affordable plans with smaller data allowances for those wanting to keep costs low, starting from 10GB for £26.09 per month. There are significant savings to be had when trading in an old phone, with anyone selling their Galaxy S24 through giffgaff recycle receiving up to £208 towards their Galaxy S25 . Currently, giffgaff stocks the Galaxy S25 in a choice of navy, mint or silver shadow. This is the 256GB storage device, complete with Android 15 out of the box. It's worth bearing in mind that giffgaff's Samsung Galaxy S25 contract comprises two parts: an 18-month data plan and a 36-month handset plan. Additionally, remember that giffgaff operates on the O2 network, so customers should check their coverage before committing, reports Birmingham Live . For those not covered, Mobiles.co.uk offers the Galaxy S25 at £27.99 per month with £29 upfront on its iD Mobile's 500GB data package. Both choices are cheaper than competing retailers like Sky Mobile , where the identical handset with unlimited data costs £44 monthly plus £24 upfront. Additional offers in the giffgaff Black Friday promotion feature the iPhone 15 at £26.70 monthly with £20 upfront. Another alternative choice is the Google Pixel 9a priced at £18.64 monthly and £10 upfront. One downside to Android phones is that they're not compatible with Apple devices running iOS software, so anyone hoping to sync their iPad, iCloud or other Apple product with the Galaxy S25 may be disappointed. However, for Samsung fans, our Technology Editor Dave Snelling took a closer look at the Galaxy S25 ahead of launch and said it's 'out of this world'. He said: "The Galaxy S25 range get a massive speed boost, sharp-shooting cameras, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, which offers a 40% bump in performance. That super premium phone gets a massive 6.9-inch display with almost invisible bezels that should make this gadget the perfect phone for a blockbuster movie binge. "Samsung is also introducing smart new features on these devices including a 'Now Bar' which pops up across the bottom of the phone to show you the football scores, timers or how long the commute to work will take. There's even a smart new AI Select option which can scan things such as football or airline tickets and automatically add the event to your diary or show you how to get there via your maps app."
