Hi all

My first time here so apologies if my question is nieve.

I am looking to purchase S24 ultra and obviously looking around for the best price, however the best price I can find in the UK comes preloaded with Android 7.

I understand the latest version is Android 14 so my question is there something less desirable with the android 7 phone.

I gather it should be easy enough to upgrade to android 14, is this correct.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the link. To he frank it was the much lower price that caught my eye but also raised my suspicion re android 7 hence joining this forum👍

Apparently Samsung website has the free watch + cashback and 10% off if you use their shop app.

So it might work out better for you.
Also even less with trade in.

Nothing to do with Amazon. Dispatches from 4|phones. Walk away!

It could be a typo about the specifications @Meme121 

Do let us know which avenue you decide to take. 


Daily Driver > Samsung Galaxy s²⁵ Ultra 512Gb ~ Titanium Black.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

I have searched previous questions and answers for this seller and they do say it is Android 14 but why seller has not bother to change this is rather suspious in my mind so I will leave well alone.

I have never had a top of the range phone before so I thought that I would treat myself as I have previously purchased:-

Samsung 55" 4K Neo QLED Smart TV | QE55QN95AATXXU × 1 and Q930B Samsung Q-Symphony 9.1.4ch Cinematic Dolby Atmos Wi-Fi Soundbar, so it would appear that I am a Samsung fan.

Thank you for all your replies and I will head over to the official Samsung site.

I'm not sure what sort of price you are willing to spend but an android 7 phone . It will not be able to update android 7 to android 14. In the phone sofewear I would wait. About 6 months and wait for the price to drop.as the galaxy s24 is pricey As was the galaxy s23 ultra when it come out last year

It is very likely grey market, as a model intended for sale in an other market. Some Q&As on the product page say it is for Panama. It may work on UK networks, but it will NOT be covered by Samsung warranty or insurance. If you can live with that, might be worth it.

I got a 1/2 price deal on an brand new 40 in E7500 Samsung smart TV on Woot years ago. A column of pixels were dead out of the box. I called and it was a Central American model. 46 in was the smallest they sold in the US. No coverage, not returnable. Other than that, it's works great. Of course TVs in that class hom are ~1/2 what I paid. It wasn't the worst deal, but had I known, I wouldn't have bought.
