Samsung released the Galaxy S8 and S8+ in all markets, but only a few color options are available for sale. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ come in five color options in total, Midnight Black, Orchid Gray, Arctic Silver, Blue Coral, and Maple Gold.

However, only the first two color options have been available in the UK and it seems that a third one will come at a local retailer. The Galaxy S8 is available in Midnight Black and Orchid Gray in the UK, but EE will start offering the Arctic Silver option as well.

The color option will be available only at EE starting June 23, when pre-orders are set to arrive. The retailer is also offering the phone together with 4GEE Max plans available upon pre-order. The Galaxy S8 will be made available for £10 upfront and then customers would get 24 months of unlimited minutes, texts and 25 GB data for £57.99.

EE is offering multiple deals for the Galaxy S8 in Arctic Silver

The monthly offer is also available with the Galaxy S8+, but the upfront payment for the larger variant is higher at £50. In addition, EE is offering full inclusive access to the BT Sport app included in the deal until the plan ends.

According to PocketLint, Connor Pierce, Samsung Vice President, IT & Mobile, said, "We’re delighted to be partnering with EE to exclusively offer their customers the new Galaxy S8 and S8+ in Artic Silver. This new colour edition of our latest handset will be available alongside our two other colour options Midnight Black and Orchid Grey. We are proud to be able to offer EE’s customers even more choice when it comes to their smartphone."

Aside from the Arctic Silver option for the Galaxy S8, the smartphone will also be made available in the US in the Blue Coral hue. In addition, Samsung recently released the Pirates of the Caribbean Limited Edition of the Galaxy S8 in China.
