With Valentines Day approaching, there’s a rise in demand for pink phones – we chose to believe that’s the reason that the Rose Pink versions of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are arriving in the UK only now.

You see, those phones first appeared at the end of June last year in Taiwan, then in North America in July and in Europe (but not the UK) in September. Now... now we’re close to the launch of the Galaxy S9.

The price of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ has fallen quite a bit since launch, making them a good deal. Especially if you don’t care about dual cameras (the small S9 won’t have one anyway).

Samsung.com lists the phones as “coming soon” (note: the Dual SIM version won’t be available in Pink). Other retailers are yet to list the new color option, most stick to the classic Midnight Black and Orchid Grey
