You may be holding out for the Galaxy S26 now, but Samsung has just launched what’s easily its best deal yet on the excellent Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Right now, you can choose between a trade-in rebate of up to $700 or a $450 upfront discount. The trade rebate has been way better before, but the upfront discount? That’s a new record-low price that brings this stunning flagship down to $850.

Put simply, this is a lot of phone for the money. At $850, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is just $50 more expensive than the new iPhone 17, so in comparison, you’re getting a much higher-end device for what’s essentially a ‘mid-range’ price point. I put mid-range in quotation marks there because, obviously, $850 is still a lot of cash to spend on a phone.

With that said, I don’t see the Galaxy S25 Ultra getting any cheaper than this. Amazon hasn’t released its Black Friday deals, but I don’t think it will touch this Samsung deal for outright value. Especially when you can get some nice exclusive colors at the official store, too.

We’re seeing plenty of excellent Black Friday phone deals right now, but this one is probably my favorite unlocked deal so far. It beats a lot of other choices right now, solely because you don’t need to trade in or sign up for a super-expensive long-term plan to be eligible. You can simply get a cheap(er) Galaxy S25 Ultra and port it over to the carrier of your choice.
