Prices for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra continue to fluctuate, with Samsung and Amazon repeatedly updating their Black Friday offers. Samsung still holds the record for the lowest Galaxy S25 Ultra price in 2025, but Amazon’s new deal isn’t far behind.
Amazon has dropped the price of the Galaxy S25 Ultra 256GB to $899, which is less than Samsung’s current $914 offer. Although the Amazon deal comes with 256GB of storage versus Samsung’s 512GB offer, Amazon is the cheaper option if you don’t need the extra storage. For people solely interested in the cheapest price, this Amazon deal currently reigns supreme.
Amazon’s “No Frills” Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Black Friday Deal
If you follow my deal stories, you know Amazon’s drill by now. The retailer doesn’t bundle anything in with its discounts, instead focusing on trying to be the cheapest place to buy a smartphone (a claim Samsung has repeatedly challenged in the last two months). There’s no free tablet, Galaxy Watch, or laptop with this deal.
But Samsung phone buyers get six months of Google AI Pro with their phones, alongside free subscriptions to Adobe Lightroom and SiriusXM. Samsung has also partnered with Perplexity to give all Galaxy phone and tablet users free access to a 12-month Pro tier subscription to the AI service.
Amazon’s Poor Galaxy S25 Ultra Trade-In Prices Can’t Compete With Samsung (Any More)
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra trade-in prices briefly took a nose-dive in the weeks leading up to Black Friday, mirroring Amazon’s poor used-phone valuations. They have since replenished back to normal levels in the last couple of days. As it stands, Samsung will pay more for your used phone than Amazon. For example, Amazon will pay $160 and $260 for the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy S23 Ultra, respectively. But Samsung values those same devices at $480 and $530.
