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’s latest iOS 27.2 trick could keep you out of the doghouse
Apple is testing anniversary alerts in Call Context for dates saved in the Contacts app

Apple only started rolling out iOS 27 yesterday, but Apple is already working on the next update, which has a small feature that could prove surprisingly useful. As MacRumors points out, the latest iOS 27.2 beta adds an anniversary reminder to Call Context, which can warn you about an important date just before you place a call.

Call Context itself arrived with iOS 27. We previously covered one of its more delightful tricks, where calling someone on their birthday brings up a reminder along with a small fireworks animation. The iOS 27.2 beta now takes that idea a little further by adding anniversaries into the mix.

I feel like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the right kind of passport foldable
Passport foldables are everywhere now, but Samsung got the proportions right
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 foldable smartphone

Passport-style foldables are returning, but in a foldable format. Samsung completely changed direction with the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Xiaomi followed with the 18 Fold, and Apple has now entered the category with the iPhone Duo. Even though the original Google Pixel Fold explored the same short-and-wide idea years ago, this is looking like the new smartphone trend in 2026.

After spending years with book-style foldables, I am warming up to this decision. I prefer the idea of keeping the phone compact when closed and opening it only when I need more room.

The RAM shortage could last for years, and smaller tech brands are feeling it first
From flexible motherboards to advance orders, device makers are getting creative to keep products alive.
Installing RAM Memory on a framework laptop

The memory shortage is no longer just a problem for PC builders hunting for affordable RAM. Smaller phone and laptop makers are now changing how they design, manufacture, and price their products as the supply crunch threatens to stretch through 2027 and potentially beyond. And according to a report by Reuters, the bigger problem isn't even the price anymore. It's getting enough memory in the first place.

Smaller brands are getting creative because RAM isn't playing nice
