I’d buy this Galaxy S25 Ultra deal in a heartbeat, even though the Galaxy S26 Ultra is almost here

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is down to an all-time low price on Amazon, and it’s officially the best deal in mobile flagships with this incredible discount. I know the Galaxy S26 Ultra is probably right around the corner, but don’t worry about that phone. The S25 Ultra will be a fantastic phone for years to come, even if you buy it now.

You can always find a discount on a Samsung phone, but the Ultra has never dropped this low since it launched in January. For the 256GB model, you’ll pay $899 (was $1,299.99) at Amazon in the US and £999 (was £1,249) at Amazon in the UK. Both of those are the lowest prices I’ve seen all year. You can get the Galaxy S25 Ultra today for less than the Galaxy S25 Plus cost when it launched with this Cyber Monday deal.

I have two of Samsung’s Ultra phones in front of me: the Galaxy S25 Ultra and my own personal Galaxy S23 Ultra that I bought two years ago (and I’m still paying off on AT&T). The phones are almost indistinguishable in every way, from their looks to their performance to the photos I can shoot with their cameras.

Both of these phones are fast enough to play today’s top games at the highest settings with little difference in framerate. Both can zoom in to the top of the highest building, or to the end of the field so I can read the numbers off the jerseys.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is a phone made to stick around for years, so if you can get it now for 30% off the original price, that makes it a steal, and there’s no reason to worry about having the latest and the greatest. This phone will be great even after the next two Ultra phones have landed.
