Samsung’s pre-order window for the new Galaxy S25 flagship trio is closing, but sales are not meeting expectations. A recent poll suggests that buyers perceive the new models as only minor upgrades over previous generations of S-phones, leading some to consider skipping upgrades or opting for older models.
However, Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra was a surprise hit in 2024, outselling its siblings and receiving positive reviews. In contrast, the early response to the Galaxy S25 Ultra is more muted, with many expressing concerns about the price and perceived lack of upgrade compared to competing flagships from other brands.
The slow Android 15 upgrade has also been a point of contention for some buyers. The Samsung Galaxy S25+ is likely to be the least popular model in the trio, but the new Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to launch later this year. Its reception will depend on how well Samsung communicates its features and benefits.
A surprising trend, however, is that the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S25 has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from buyers. According to a poll, it has an even better reception than the Ultra model, with some speculating that it could potentially outsell the Ultra in 2025.
With sales numbers still pending, it remains to be seen whether Samsung can turn things around and achieve strong sales for 2025. One thing is certain, though: the Galaxy S25 lineup has fallen short of expectations so far.
