Forget the iPhone 17 Pro - the Galaxy S25 Ultra is cheaper with this incredible deal at Samsung

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is easily one of 2025's best phones - and right now's a particularly good time to consider picking one up, as the official Samsung site has just brought back one of its best deals yet on this stunning device.

Available at Samsung right now is the choice between a trade-in rebate of up to $580 or a $250 upfront discount, as well as a free storage upgrade.

Combined, you can take home a 512GB device for just $1,049 right now without even having to trade in. If you do trade-in, however, then you could potentially pay just $719.99 here for a fully unlocked device if you're eligible for the full rebate.

In terms of deals for an unlocked device, both these options are extremely competitive versus the latest iPhone 17 series. Generally speaking, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is positioned as a top-of-the-line competitor to the high-end iPhone 17 Pro, but these deals actually make it cheaper than the standard iPhone 17 Pro. If you like the idea of a phone with a bigger screen.... well, then this is a fantastic option today.

Is the Galaxy S25 Ultra worth switching to?

Our Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review awarded the device almost full marks - four and a half stars out of five, in fact. Subsequently, it's an easy recommendation to make if you're on the lookout for an extremely premium (if somewhat pricey) device.

Highlight features for the Galaxy S25 Ultra include a 6.9-inch AMOLED display with S-Pen support, an impressive 200MP main camera (easily one of the best), and days of battery life thanks to a 5,000mAh battery that charges in just one hour. The device is also chock-full of Samsung's AI features - some of which are generally useful, while others are still in their infancy.

In terms of hardware, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is generally equivalent to the latest iPhone 17 series, although early benchmarks suggest the Pro devices from Apple have the edge in terms of chipset performance. If you prioritize a big screen and cameras, however, then today's deal on the S25 Ultra at Samsung gets you a huge amount of bang for your buck.
