Best S21 preorder offer in the UK is EE - Buds Pro, SmartTag, Razer Kishi and 12 months Xbox Gamepass & Trade-in up to £350!!! Amazing offer
Just thought I'd share that I'm really impressed by EE and Samsung ... By far the best S21 preorder offer in the UK - I will be definitely getting mine from there all the preorder props add up to over £400+ worth of value. Hope someone else finds it useful!...
