    Can still be got a lot cheaper from other amazon sites, but if amazon.co.uk is your thing.

    Agreed, can be gotten cheaper on Amazon.it but I prefer the UK site myself for quick shipping (Prime).

    Does it make them less reliable - the phone inferior?

    I suppose that's subjective. If you're a smart-phone/Android enthusiast looking for the cutting edge, many agree it's the best phone out there at the moment. It's about 250 euros cheaper than when it was released. It is very similar to the iPhone X in both design and specs, but 500 euros cheaper.

    Of course these days you can get very good feature packed Android phones for less than 200e, like the Moto G5.

    It's a bit of a pain.I had to return a phone to Amazon Germany last year which had a screen problem.
    An Post won't accept it due to their policy on batteries. Amazon are good., but I had to ship it via a ground carrier at a cost of around 60 euro. it took a while to get back and Amazon refunded me the shipping cost. They shipped a replacement before i returned the original.

    I had to return a phone to amazon uk and they had a ROI returns label for An Post Portlaoise, prepaid.

    Sorry to drag this up. I'm looking on Amazon.de but it's saying they don't ship to Ireland. How do I go about working around this?:) Thanks

    "Augusta Versand" may not ship to Ireland but plenty of other sellers do - including Amazon.de (I have one from there @ €529)

    All sellers: https://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B06XJ49G5B/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

    Check CamelCamelCamel to get it at best price: https://de.camelcamelcamel.com/Samsung-Smartphone-Touch-Display-interner-Speicher-midnight-black/product/B06XJ49G5B

    I'm approaching with caution. Across Europe and even Canada to buy it's the RRP. Yet on some Amazon sites it's cheaper and on Adverts it's cheaper again.

    I'd be hesitant if it wasn't the real deal or, was different to the Ireland model.

    You don't trust stock fulfilled by Amazon Germany? OK then. Who exactly would you consider more trustworthy so?

    I've bought this S8 and a Sony Z5 from these guys. Only issue is the European plug on the charger but I just add an adapter (the type you clamp on to make it a single unit).

    Brand new ones on adverts.ie cheaper from a proper shop in Dublin, just saying. Wonder if this is rated to the Oneplus 5T release later this month?, I know I'm waiting to buy an S8 or the 5T based on the camera reviews primarily. The lack of headphone jack on other flagships is a total dealbreaker for me.

    I thought there were just third party sellers but I can see Amazon.de are selling an S8 for 588 so not a third party, my bad!

    I bought a bunch of EU -> UK/IRL permanent adapter plugs a while back and clamp them around any EU chargers I end up with. Then there's no twiddling with travel adapters.

    Something like these. Note large opening for EU charger - or bigger if can find one:

    The charger that came with the S8 is bigger than just an EU plug you see in the pics. DO NOT get one with a small opening like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2pcs-Black-Euro-2-Pin-to-UK-3-Pin-Converter-Plug-Adapter-TRAVEL-ADAPTER-/252596994550
