When you take out one of Samsung’s two latest releases on a Vodafone monthly plan, you can claim back £50. This is thanks to a promotion with Opia, where all you have to do is upload a picture of the receipt for your new plan. And if that wasn’t good enough, the Vodafone plans are pretty tasty deals.

• The Samsung Galaxy A55 starts from £27 per month with £30 upfront for 8GB of data
• The Samsung Galaxy A35 starts from £24 per month with £30 upfront for 8GB of data

These plans are on a Vodafone Evo plan. These plans let you customise how much data you need, how much you want to pay upfront, and how long you want the device for. You can pick plans from anywhere between 3 and 36 months.

Samsung’s latest A-series releases borrow heavily from the top-tier Galaxy S series, with matching designs, similar screens and cameras that are almost as capable. The new Galaxy A55 and A35 have a lot in common, with just a few hardware differences to separate them.

Each phone has a 6.6in AMOLED display with a 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Both the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 find room for a 5000mAh battery, which is very generous in an affordable phone. And they both also have 50MP main snappers, with an ultrawide and macro lens as well. There are some differences in performance thanks to different CPUs. The Galaxy A55 is the more capable device.
