Amazon Drops Galaxy S25 Edge to $699 and S25 Ultra to $999

Retailer-led discounts are recalibrating Samsung’s flagship pricing, turning the slim S25 Edge into a stronger value proposition despite its noted trade-offs.

Overview

  • Amazon cut the Galaxy S25 Edge to $699, a $400 drop from its $1,099 list price, with the deal applying to both 256GB and 512GB unlocked models for a limited time.
  • The Galaxy S25 Ultra is down $300 to $999 for the 256GB unlocked version on Amazon, offered as a straightforward sale with optional trade-in.
  • For the S25 Ultra, Amazon preserves the $300 discount even with a trade-in, whereas Samsung’s similar pricing depends on not trading in a device and may add app-based perks.
  • The S25 Edge pairs an ultra-thin 5.8mm design with Snapdragon 8 Elite, 12GB of RAM and a 200MP main camera, but it lacks a telephoto lens and uses a 3,900mAh battery.
  • Regional pricing is shifting as well, with India listings showing the Galaxy S24 Ultra at Rs 79,945 on Flipkart and the S25 Ultra around Rs 1,05,400 on Amazon India.
