Black Friday Galaxy S25 Ultra deals are live – big savings on one of the best phones

Black Friday is getting ever closer, and we’re right around the corner from the official November 28 actual Black Friday. As such, the pace of phone deals is picking up, and we’re now starting to see some big discounts on some premium models – such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which you can now get for as low as $849.99 in the US via Samsung and £879 in the UK via Laptops Direct.

Another reason I’ve highlighted Samsung’s deals in particular is because of the tech giant’s famously generous trade-in policy, which can bring the price of this flagship all the way down to $599.99 (though you’ll need to give up a good-condition Galaxy S24 Ultra for the maximum discount).

In the UK, Samsung is operating a hefty trade-in discount, but its discount prices without a trade-in applied aren’t as good as those found elsewhere, which is why I’ve highlighted other deals. But do check out Samsung UK, especially if you have a recent Galaxy phone to hand in.

best phones, the best Android phones, the best camera phones, the best AI phones, the best gaming phones, and – wait for it – the best Samsung phones. TL;DR: it’s a really good phone.

The S25 Ultra is equipped with a 6.9-inch display that supports the S Pen stylus housed within the phone itself. It’s one of the best screens you’ll find on a phone, with a 1440p resolution and 2600 nits of peak brightness.

On the back, you’ll find the phone’s iconic quad-camera array, comprised of a 200MP main camera, 50MP ultra-wide camera, 50MP 3x telephoto camera and 10MP 5x telephoto camera, giving you a great balance between versatility and quality.

The phone is made of glass and titanium, which protects the internal hardware – speaking of which, the Galaxy S25 Ultra makes use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset – commonly considered the best Android chipset around – and between 12GB and 16GB of RAM depending on spec.

As its inclusion on our many lists suggests, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is ready for basically whatever you can throw at it – and with hundreds of dollars or pounds in savings, now could be a good time to buy if you just can’t wait to see what Black Friday itself has in store.
