Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus at a glance

So what's the S8 Plus really like? Well, it's big for starters. The display is a massive 6.2 inches in size - the same size as the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and OnePlus 6 - with a Quad HD resolution and curved sides.

A gorgeous design means it looks and feels great in your hand. It's a very powerful phone too, with octa-core processors and 4GB of RAM. It offers more internal memory than the standard S8 as well - 128GB, with a microSD card slot if that's still not enough space.

The cameras are some of the best you'll find on a 2017 phone. On the back there's a 12-megapixel lens with lots of pro-level controls, and there's an 8-megapixel lens on the front for nice, clear selfies.

On top of all that, Samsung has packed in more features you didn't realise you needed, such as the Bixby AI assistant, a heart rate monitor, and an iris scanner as well as a fingerprint sensor. Oh, and a standard headphone plug.

Your best bet is always to compare deals to find one that gives you everything you need at the lowest price. As well as that, there are a few cost-cutting measures you can try…
