The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is an AI phone through and through, for better or worse. At a starting price of $1,300, does it still deserve a spot in your pocket?

Currently, one of the best Galaxy S25 preorder deals comes from Samsung. For a limited time, you can get up to $500 off your Galaxy S25 preorder with trade-in. Plus, you'll get a free $50 Samsung credit. Likewise, you can get up to $700 off the Galaxy S25 Plus or up to $900 off the Galaxy S25 Ultra at Samsung.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra features the same 200MP main sensor as the S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra flagships from previous years. The 1/1.3-inch sensor is smaller than the 1-inch sensors we’ve seen in phones by Xiaomi and Vivo. The benefits of a larger sensor include better low-light performance, a shallower depth of field, and a higher dynamic range.
