And on the note, the bad news for Galaxy S24 owners remains the wait for One UI 7’s stable release, bringing Android 15 to the Samsung masses. This is an excellent upgrade and makes Samsung phones materially safer and more secure, narrowing the gap to iPhone — its main competitor pre S25s hitting shelves. It can’t come soon enough.

I've been using Samsung phones for a couple of years now, and the assortment of great features the Galaxy lineup offers is hard to beat. In fact, I wish other Android phone makers would adopt these features.

But the savings extend beyond the Galaxy S25 phones themselves: Samsung is offering immediate savings on a range of accessories that will make Samsung fans very happy. You can get the new Galaxy Buds3 Pro for free (usually $249), the Galaxy Watch Ultra for just $240 (down from $649) or the popular Galaxy Ring for $180 (normally $399).
