Subj : I tested every Galaxy S25 model, and the one I recommend most is To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Wed Nov 19 2025 17:00:12 I tested every Galaxy S25 model, and the one I recommend most is on sale now at Amazon and free from Verizon and T-Mobile Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 16:46:42 +0000 Description: The Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus gives you the most bang for the buck of any Galaxy S25 phone I've tested. It has amazing performance and great battery life, and it's even better when there's a discount. FULL STORY ====================================================================== The Galaxy S25 Plus beats the Ultra on battery life and value, and right now you can get double the storage for the lowest price I've seen this holiday season. Shopping for a new Samsung flagship this Black Friday? You might think you need to shell out for the Ultra to get the best experience, but youd be wrong. The superb Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus is now just $940.79 at Amazon (was $1,199.99) for the overstuffed 512GB model. (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future) I reviewed the Galaxy S25 Plus extensively, and it is hands-down the Goldilocks device of Samsung's fantastic phone lineup. While the S25 Ultra gets all the hype, my lab tests proved that the S25 Plus actually has better battery life , lasting 10 minutes longer than the Ultra in our rundown tests. It also packs the same number of pixels into a slightly smaller 6.7-inch frame, meaning it technically has the sharpest display in the entire Samsung lineup. Shop Samsung's full Black Friday sale This Amazon deal is particularly special because it undercuts Samsungs own offer. While Samsung.com is offering a "free storage upgrade" (selling the 512GB model for the price of the 256GB model at $999), Amazon has slashed the price even further to $940.79 . That is over $250 off the regular price when you opt for a half-terabyte of storage. The Galaxy S25 Plus gives you the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 45W fast charging (which the base model S25 lacks), and a stunning design - especially if you grab it in the Navy Blue colorway I tested.
