The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra just keeps getting better and better
by Timi Cantisano · Android PoliceSometimes, when you make something good for so long, people forget just how great it really is. Over the years, Samsung has taken a lot of heat because of its stagnant approach to its devices, but for the most part, you're usually getting something pretty solid.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is one of these products, delivering everything you could want from a solid flagship device. Of course, we'd love to see a captivating new design every single year, the best-in-class cameras, etc. But the reality is that there are limits to what can be done while maintaining a profit. Of course, most consumers probably wouldn't even notice the difference, to be honest.
It's even better now
Although the Galaxy S25 Ultra was good when it first launched, it's gotten even better over time thanks to a variety of software updates. Plus, if you can manage to score the phone below its MSRP, then you're really getting an absolute gem.
With that said, Samsung is now offering a pretty huge discount, knocking $300 off the original retail price, while also throwing in a free storage upgrade. So, for the time being, you can get a 512GB Galaxy S25 Ultra for $1,000.
When it comes to value, you're saving roughly $420 by purchasing it right now. Naturally, you get a beautiful display, a powerful SoC, along with good cameras. The best part, though, is that you'll also get longevity with this device.

Samsung has promised to support this device for seven years, which means you'll see major software updates arrive to the phone until 2032. That part alone will extend the life of the phone for years after it's been forgotten.
