Galaxy S25 Prime Day Deals: Save $255 on Samsung's Latest

Prime Day is wrapping up, but there’s still time to snag one of the year’s most compelling smartphone deals. Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days event launched on October 7th, bringing significant discounts to Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S25 lineup (Mashable). Several Samsung Galaxy models even hit their lowest prices of the year during this window (Mashable). Unlocked versions are the sweet spot, full carrier flexibility without plan strings attached (Mashable).

Why the Galaxy S25 stands out in today's smartphone market

The standard Galaxy S25 delivers flagship performance in a more compact form factor. It is currently $679.99, down from $799.99, a solid $130 discount (Mashable). The hook is simple, it runs the advanced Snapdragon 8 Elite processor that handles everything from intensive gaming to AI-powered photography (Android Police).

That chipset’s neural engine pays off for photos. You get real-time object recognition, intelligent scene optimization, and computational photography upgrades that used to wait for post-processing. Shooting a fast-moving subject in dim light? Trying to land a clean portrait? The AI quietly dials in settings faster than you ever could.

Samsung backs the S25 with seven years of software updates (Android Police). Most people replace phones after 3 to 4 years because updates stop, not because the hardware quits. With security patches and features guaranteed through 2032, you could keep using this phone into the mid-2030s and still get fresh Android features.

Breaking down the Prime Day pricing across the S25 lineup

Here is where it gets interesting. The Galaxy S25 Plus with 512GB drops to $999.99 from $1,119.99, a $120 save (Mashable). It adds a roomier 6.7-inch display while keeping the S25 series’ flagship chops.

Want the top dog? The Galaxy S25 Ultra with 256GB is down to $1,044.99 from $1,299.99, a hefty $255 off (Mashable). At this price, you are getting performance that normally costs more than comparable Apple or Google models.

The Ultra earns its name with a quad-camera system. You get dual telephoto lenses at 3x and 5x optical zoom and a 200MP main sensor (TechRadar). Practical upside, you can frame group shots or tight details without the mushy look of digital zoom. That 200MP resolution also lets you crop hard after the fact and still keep print-worthy detail.

What makes the Galaxy S25 Edge worth considering

Do not overlook the Galaxy S25 Edge. It is seeing some of the steepest discounts of the whole sale. The 256GB model is $685, and the 512GB version is $730, both with 12GB of RAM for smooth multitasking (CNET). Amazon’s current promotion chops about $300 off across all Edge configurations (CNET).

Those cuts put the Edge in rare territory, flagship specs at last year’s mid-range prices. That 12GB of RAM pays off in the real world, keep multiple heavy apps open, bounce between games without reloads, and run video edits without the sluggish stutters you feel on phones with less memory.

The Edge also brings a 6.7-inch display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, plus a 200-megapixel camera system for photo tinkerers (CNET). That Ceramic 2 layer adds tougher scratch resistance against sand or keys and better drop protection, which can mean fewer repair bills.

Time's running out—here's what you need to know

Prime Big Deal Days will not last, and these kinds of unlocked phone discounts rarely show up outside major events. Unlocked iPhone deals are notoriously scarce, which makes these Samsung prices even more tempting for Android shoppers (Mashable). Apple’s bigger discounts usually come with carrier strings or trade-in hoops.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra normally goes toe to toe with premium flagships like the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Google Pixel 9 Pro XL at full retail (TechRadar). At today’s Prime Day prices, it undercuts those rivals by a wide margin.

Even Samsung’s own trade-in program tops out around $530 for eligible devices, so these direct price cuts can be the better play depending on your current phone’s condition (CNET). You can still sell your old device on your own, or keep it as a backup, without giving up the savings.

Bottom line, if you have been waiting to jump to Samsung’s latest, this Prime Day window is the move before holiday chaos kicks in. Big discounts on current-generation flagships do not come around often. With a seven-year update commitment, you are buying a phone that will still feel current well into the next decade.
