It’s that time of year again, people. Pre-orders have officially opened for the all-new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – the brand’s flagship smartphone for 2025.
As with the previous generation, after a lot of hype and rumours, the device was officially unveiled at the Samsung Unpacked winter event. Pre-orders have already begun at Samsung and other leading retailers in both the US and UK – all of which you can check out below.
I’ve included all of the opening pre-order promotions in the list so you can find the best possible deal on this high-end premium phone. And you’ll likely need this deal too as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra comes in at a staggering $1,299/£1,249 for the base 256GB model.
Although this device is expensive, there are quite a few under-the-hood and software upgrades that somewhat justify this hefty cost.

summary
What’s new?

- 50MP ultra-wide camera
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra carries the lion’s share of upgrades for this generation – which is what you’d expect considering this is the brand’s newest device for 2025 so far.
Key features include an updated design that’s closer to its smaller siblings, with slightly smaller bezels, lighter weight, a rounder appearance and more comfortable in the hand, in our opinion. The Galaxy S25 Ultra now also carries a 50MP ultra-wide camera and the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which delivers a significant increase in performance for both gaming and AI features.
Speaking of which, it’s 2025 – which can only mean one thing – the Galaxy S25 Ultra is absolutely packed with new AI features. While AI tools were previously reminiscent of party tricks, Samsung is looking big to integrate AI into almost every software aspect possible with the S25 Ultra. The brand promises a smarter assistant capable of increasingly advanced tasks and a new “Personal Data” engine designed to keep all the personal information used by these gadgets safe on the device.
