Samsung Offers Galaxy S25 Ultra At A Discount Of Up To $1020, Making It 3x Cheaper Than Apple's iPhone 16 Pro: Here's How You Can Get It For Almost Free

Samsung Electronics Co.'s SSNLF Galaxy S25 Ultra is available at a significantly lower price than Apple Inc.'s AAPL iPhone 16 Pro. 

What Happened: The Galaxy S25 Ultra, part of the newly launched Galaxy S25 Series, is priced at $1299 for the 512GB model, down from its original $1419, thanks to a “double the storage for free” deal.

Samsung’s trade-in program further reduces the cost, offering up to $900 off with an eligible device trade-in, potentially bringing the price down to $399. The Galaxy S25 and S25+ models also benefit from trade-in savings of up to $500 and $700, respectively.

This is an effective discount of $1,020, which means you can get the S25 Ultra at just $349. In comparison, Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro (512 GB) was priced at $1,299, making the difference almost three times.

Apple users can get $40–$630 when trading in an iPhone, with trade-in values varying based on the eligible device’s condition, year, and configuration.

Why It Matters: Preliminary data from IDC shows global smartphone shipments grew 2.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024, reaching 331.7 million units. This marks six consecutive quarters of growth. 

Apple and Samsung remained the top smartphone brands. However, both saw year-over-year declines as Chinese rivals gained market share with budget-friendly devices and rapid expansion in China.
