The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is now officially available, and it’s clear that Samsung has been working hard to make this upgrade worth considering. The main perk for pre-orders was a free storage upgrade, which is no longer an option. However, other incentives are in place.
For those who opted for the base 256GB model of the Galaxy S25+, purchasing it will give you $100 off, making it nearly a free storage upgrade (worth $120). The larger 512GB model comes with a $50 gift card on top of the discount. On the other hand, the vanilla Galaxy S25 gets a $100 gift card and boasts improved RAM at 12GB.
While Samsung’s biggest advantage in the new series is its software, including One UI 7, there are cheaper alternatives that can provide similar features without breaking the bank. The Galaxy S24 FE, for instance, will get One UI 7 with six years of support left. Another option is the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G, which has a cut-down version of One UI but still offers great performance at an affordable price.
Meanwhile, those looking to invest in high-end audio can consider the latest release from Samsung – the premium TWS buds, the Galaxy Buds3 Pro, with a $50 discount. For those willing to spend more, the OnePlus 12R and its impressive features like a large display and high-capacity battery are worth considering.
However, not all phones have caught up with the latest advancements in technology. The HMD Skyline is one such device that has implemented the new Qi2 magnetic profile, but it lags behind in terms of performance compared to other recent releases.
In conclusion, while the Samsung Galaxy S25 series offers exciting features and incentives, there are cheaper alternatives available that can provide similar functionality.
