Best Buy is currently listing the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for $1,049 (was $1,299) – a record-low price for an unlocked version of this excellent flagship device.
This hefty $250 price cut comes just ahead of the highly anticipated annual Apple Keynote event, traditionally used to unveil the latest iPhone series. With this discount, I highly expect that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be cheaper than the equivalent iPhone 17 Pro Max.
It's likely to be a better value, too, considering the Galaxy S25 Ultra pairs together the extremely powerful Snapdragon Gen 8 Elite chipset with one of the best designs we've ever seen on a smartphone. Die-hard Apple fans may be unconvinced, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra boasts excellent performance, features great cameras, and also includes the ever-handy S-Pen to fully utilize its expansive 6.9-inch AMOLED display.
