The newest Android phones are out for preorder now, ready for you to get your hands on them by February 7. This is the Galaxy S25 series from Samsung, featuring three phones; the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. These phones are set to enter the ranks of our picks for the best Android phones. You can find out everything we already know about the S25 series in our Samsung Galaxy S25 explainer (including an overview of their clever AI features), but here we’re talking about something far more important: actually getting an S25 or S25+ in your hands. Check over here for information on pre-ordering a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. And you can get a discount as well!

Tap the button below to see all of the preorder info from Samsung, with the phones laid out on one page, or continue reading to see what Samsung Galaxy S25 preorder deals are available for each phone, one at a time. One important thing to note is that students can get a 5% discount on top of any other discount for any of the phones.

Galaxy S25 — from $300 ($800 – $500 trade credit) with $50 Samsung credit

The standard Galaxy S25 is $500 off, if you trade in a powerful enough phone. You’ll also get the chance to get up to $50 in instant Samsung credits, which can be used right away towards things like upgrading your storage, getting other add-ons, or buying the Samsung’s device protection Samsung Care. If you buy an unlocked phone on the Samsung site, you’ll also have access to exclusive colors like Blueblack, Coralred, and Pinkgold. However, there are also carrier deals available, be sure to click “See all current carrier deals” on the shop page to find your target carrier’s offers. Finally, don’t forget that student discount which will drop the phone by an extra 5% if you qualify.

Galaxy S25+ — from $300 ($1,000 – $700 trade credit) with $100 Samsung credit

If the upgrade to anything over the base model scares you from a price perspective, let this be a nice reminder that it doesn’t have to be terrible. A total return of up to $800 will certainly soften the blow, especially if you’re trying to get the higher storage option (the leap from 256GB to 512GB is not insignificant, after all, and this credit makes it essentially just cost $20). Remember that you can still get the extra 5% student discount, too. If you order via Samsung and get an ‘unlocked’ phone you can get the special Blueblack, Coralred, and Pinkgold colors. Meanwhile, if you order via a carrier you may be eligible for special offers from that carrier. To see what deals are available from your target carrier, tap the button below and then click the “See all current carrier deals” text in the shop page.

Why do I have Samsung credit?

When you first visit the pre-order page at Samsung, you may see that you have Samsung credit. Even if you aren’t logged it. It appears confusing, but Samsung credits in this case are specifically to reduce the price of something like extra storage, an add-on, or Samsung Care. So, if you see references to Samsung credit you already have, don’t be alarmed — it’s not a mistake.

Apple starts testing cheaper Chinese RAM inside iPhones, but your pocket won’t feel the ease
Fourth-largest DRAM producer in the world, on the Pentagon's watchlist, and now quietly inside Apple's test labs.

Apple has quietly been testing a new memory supplier for some of its devices sold in China, and the name behind those chips is one that Washington has been keeping a close eye on.

It’s the one that I talked about a few days ago in another story, when rumors about Apple considering a Chinese memory supplier started surfacing after the company announced an ugly price hike for most of its devices (except iPhone and Apple Watch).

Android 17’s new video standard fixes one of HDR’s biggest problems
Your HDR videos are about to look right, no matter what screen you use.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Android 17 is packed with new features, but one small addition might end up mattering more than the flashy ones. It's called Eclipsa Video, and its whole purpose boils down to this: your HDR videos should finally look the way they're supposed to, regardless of which screen you're staring at.

Why does HDR look different on every screen?

Your free mobile VPN is a privacy disaster. Go figure
Android's free VPNs are somehow worse than you expected
VPN

The free VPN app you downloaded for your Android phone might be doing more harm than good. A recent large-scale audit of free Android VPN apps has shared some worrisome findings that justify some healthy suspicion. Researchers found these apps leaking traffic, sending identifying information to third parties, and basically the opposite of what a VPN is supposed to do.

The study comes from researchers at the University of Michigan, the University of New Mexico and IIT Delhi. Their findings were presented at the Network and Distributed System Security Symposium 2026 alongside MVPNalyzer, a framework designed to audit mobile VPN apps automatically and at scale.
