How to pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphones

The new Galaxy S25 Ultra starts at $1,300 for 256GB of storage. Also available in 512GB and 1TB. All configurations come with 12GB of RAM.

Color options include Titanium Silverblue, Titanium Whitesilver, Titanium Gray and Titanium Black. If you buy directly from Samsung, you can also choose from three exclusive colors: Titanium Pinkgold, Titanium Jetblack and Titanium Jadegreen.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra has a 6.9-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. That’s more than the S24 Ultra’s 6.8-inch screen. The screen is covered with improved Corning Gorilla Armor 2 — a first-of-its-kind glass-ceramic with an anti-reflective surface treatment to reduce both scratches and glare. The phone has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance (meaning it can withstand immersion in fresh water for up to 30 minutes).

The rear cameras feature a 200MP wide, 50MP ultra-wide and two telephoto lenses, one 10MP and one 50MP. Last year’s Ultra had a similar range of cameras, except for the ultra-wide, which only got 12MP. On the front, there’s a wide, 12MP selfie camera.

Battery capacity is listed at 5,000 mAh, which is the largest capacity of the S25 family and the same as the previous S24 Ultra. Weighing in at 218 grams, the phone is also a full 15 grams lighter than last year and 0.4mm thinner at 8.2mm. Connectivity stats include Wi-Fi 7, 5G and Ultra Wideband. Of the S series phones, only the Ultra model comes with the included S Pen, which resides in the integrated pen slot.

For the exclusive colors you will need to order directly from Samsungwhich currently offers enhanced trade-in credit on pre-orders as well as free storage upgrades. But, as is often the case, Amazon is trying to entice you to buy from its site by offering a free gift card with advance orders. Currently, a $200 Amazon gift card will be shipped with the S25 Ultra. Best buy there is currently a similar gift card offer.
