But the savings extend beyond the Galaxy S25 phones themselves: Samsung is offering immediate savings on a range of accessories that will make Samsung fans very happy. You can get the new Galaxy Buds3 Pro for free (usually $249), the Galaxy Watch Ultra for just $240 (down from $649) or the popular Galaxy Ring for $180 (normally $399).

The rear camera array represents the only other notable hardware difference between S25 Ultra and S24 Ultra. Namely, the ultrawide lens has been upgraded from 12MP a year ago to 50MP this year. Aside from that, everything else is the same: a 200MP wide lens, 50MP telephoto lens, and 12MP selfie camera.

On this episode of The Vergecast, The Verge ’s Allison Johnson tells us all about her experiences with the S25 Ultra, supposedly the most interesting and experimental device in Samsung’s lineup, and why she’s a bit underwhelmed despite the fact that the Ultra remains an excellent phone.
