Samsung fans who live in the U.K. will be the first to get their hands on the company’s latest flagships. Both the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge arrive three days early on the other side of the Atlantic when purchased from a number of carriers and retailers.

Upgrading to the Galaxy S7 series is a no-brainer; they have even better specifications, amazing cameras, and expandable storage packed into improved designs that now sport curved glass backs and are IP68-certified for dust- and water-resistance.

As if that wasn’t enough, Samsung is giving anyone who pre-orders a Galaxy S7 and S7 edge before March 18 a free Gear VR headset worth $99.

The normal launch date for both devices in most markets is Friday, March 11. However, those in the U.K. who are ordering from Carphone Warehouse, SamsungEE, O2, Three, and Vodafone will receive their new handset a full 72 hours early on Tuesday, March 8.

You can also pre-order your new Galaxy today if you live in the U.K., while the rest of the world must wait until tomorrow, February 23.

As a Brit myself, I must say cheers, Samsung, you ruddy good chaps.
