We’re a few weeks away from the official Galaxy S25 launch. Samsung is likely to announce the rumored January 22nd Unpacked event in the coming days.
But, like its predecessors, the Galaxy S25 is no longer a secret. We already know plenty of details about the upcoming flagship phones, including design choices and specs. We’re also aware of the bad news. Samsung might increase the Galaxy S25 price compared to the S24 series.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra might be impacted specifically. The depreciation of the won is impacting the price, as is Samsung’s deal with Qualcomm to provide the Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship chip. The processor will be more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in this year’s Samsung flagship.
Any price hikes will probably be offset by the preorder deals Samsung and carrier partners will bring forward after the Unpacked event. But there’s a new leak that suggests another deal that will make any price hikes more bearable. All Galaxy S25 phones will reportedly come with free Gemini Advanced access, Google’s premium AI subscription.
