Samsung’s newest entry in the S line just dropped this week, and it already has some great phone deals. Today, you can pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and enjoy some considerable discounts. In typical Samsung style, there are a ton of benefits to reap here. There’s a considerable $120 discount on the 512GB variety of the phone, but you also gain $80 in Samsung credit to use on anything else on the site. It gets better: there’s up to $900 instant trade-in credit too depending on the phone you’re trading in, meaning the phone could cost as little as $400 once you factor in the discount and credit on the usual price of $1,420. Want to learn more about the phone? Let’s take a look.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Surprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy S range is slipping down the rankings of the best phones or best Android phones, but it’s still a much loved range. While we don’t have a full review of the latest model just yet, we do have a great comparison of Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max, so you know which flagship model to consider.

As the Samsung Galaxy S25 Unpacked event explained, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra camera has seen an upgraded ultra wide sensor to a 50-megapixel unit, while there’s a capable 200-megapixel sensor, a 10-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom range, and a periscope style long-range lens with a 50MP resolution and 5x optical zoom range.

There are also some neat photography enhancements thanks to AI such as Audio Eraser, and its ProScaler system. Our Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra hands-on certainly appreciates the Galaxy AI features here. Its screen looks gorgeous too, with a quad HD+ resolution of 3120 x 1440 and a 6.9-inch OLED screen with Corning Gorilla Glass Armor 2 protection. Packing plenty of power, it also sports the most powerful processor yet seen in a Samsung phone. All that power still doesn’t stop the Galaxy S25 Ultra from being the thinnest, sturdiest, and lightest Galaxy S phone so far.

The pick of the Samsung Galaxy S25 pre-order deals, it’s a good idea to buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra direct from Samsung. By doing so, you can enjoy up to $900 instant trade-in credit depending on the phone you have to trade in (the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is where the best money is), up to $100 of Samsung credit depending on the model, and a discount on the phone itself too. It’s worth playing around and seeing what works best for you.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series in one person's hand.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 has been unveiled at this year's Samsung Unpacked event along with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Each model comes equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, helping them push innovative boundaries alongside AI. One of those innovations is Now Brief, giving users a quick rundown of the latest news and updates without the need for them to scroll through social media every morning. Another is Samsung's own mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe), which is embedded in the chip to improve image display.

If you plan on getting the Samsung Galaxy S25 on February 7, assuming you haven't pre-ordered it already, you also need to consider getting some accessories to go with it. That means upgrading your smartwatch, earbuds, and a new phone case, among other things. To that end, we've created a list of 10 accessories you need for the new Samsung Galaxy model.

If you're a fan of the Samsung S24 lineup of phones, then you'll be happy to know that Samsung has just announced its latest lineup of S25 phones, and you can pre-order them already. There have been quite a few upgrades this generation, although one of the big talking points this year revolved around AI and the effort Samsung has put into integrating it into their phones. You can check out more information on our Samsung Unpacked 2025 event roundup for a breakdown of what Samsung talked about, and if you're ready to pre-order, we've collected all the best pre-order deals for you below.
Best S25 deals from Samsung
You can pre-order the Samsung S25 directly from Samsung, and while it doesn't have a direct discount, you can get up to $500 in trade-in credit, which brings it down to $300, and you can also get another $50 in Samsung Credit which will bring it down to just $250. You can also snag the S25, which does have $100 in direct savings that brings the price down to $1,020 from $1,120, plus you can trade-in and get up to another $700 in credit. Finally, you can snag yourself a pre-order for the Samsung S25 Plus with a $120 direct discount which brings it down to $1,300, and there is even another $900 trade-in credit you can get depending on the device you trade in.
There is also a full break-down of the Samsung pre-order deals on the Samsung S25, as well more information on the Samsung S25 Ultra pre-order deals from Samsung.

Best S25 deals from Amazon
One of the most clearcut deals is from Amazon on the S25, which gives you a direct $100 discount, bringing it down to just $800, rather than the usual $900. That's an 11% discount on the 128GB version of the S25, which is pretty substantial given that it's still in pre-order. Unfortunately, Amazon isn't offering any deals on the S25 Plus or the S25 Ultra, but we'll keep an eye out and update this page when and if we see any deals on them.
