The Samsung Galaxy S25 series just came out, so this is about the best deal you can get on these amazing phones right now.

Samsung is emailing customers the code “S25APP” which knocks 5% off the total price of the device when it is bought in the Samsung Shopping app. This appears to be a rebrand of the long-standing “APP5” discount issued to first-time buyers.

As per fresh leak, Galaxy S25 Edge will match the Galaxy S25 Ultra by serving a 200-megapixel camera, despite being the thinnest phone in Samsung's portfolio.

All this to say the Galaxy S25 ($800), Galaxy S25+ ($1,000), and Galaxy S25 Ultra ($1,300) are powerful, reliable, and well-equipped smartphones. They're excellent upgrades if you're coming from a three or four-year-old device. They're just not otherwise interesting or exciting.

We may bit a post-CES news lull some days, but the reviews are coming in hot and heavy as February begins. Samsung has already debuted its latest premium phones and we've published a few long-term reviews of devices we've been testing for months.

The Galaxy S25+ is the most frustrating phone I’ve reviewed. As a tech journalist, I want to eviscerate Samsung for not giving people what they deserve from a $1,000 flagship phone in 2025. The company’s innovation moves at a glacial pace, and the Galaxy S25+ should be a significant improvement over previous generations.

In its Geekbench 6 CPU benchmark results, the Galaxy S25 Ultra achieved an impressive single-core score of 3106, putting it well ahead of the S24 Ultra, which scored 2136. Admittedly, its single-core score did not beat the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which still leads at 3429, however, the S25 Ultra's multi-core scores are another matter entirely.

Samsung announced its “New Galaxy AI Subscription Club” just after the launch of the Galaxy S25 series, aiming to revolutionize how people purchase phones. It essentially lets you upgrade to the latest flagship without having to pay the full amount at once and sell it back to Samsung next year when the successor arrives.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus is the latest $1,000 smartphone from Samsung. If you've pre-ordered yours, here's a list of the best screen protectors to keep it safe.

The base 256GB model of the Galaxy S25 Ultra starts $1,299 and rises to nearly $1,700 for the 1TB variant. It's the same price as last year's S24 Ultra, which is a relief after a year of price increases on many new phones.
