And on the note, the bad news for Galaxy S24 owners remains the wait for One UI 7’s stable release, bringing Android 15 to the Samsung masses. This is an excellent upgrade and makes Samsung phones materially safer and more secure, narrowing the gap to iPhone — its main competitor pre S25s hitting shelves. It can’t come soon enough.

But the savings extend beyond the Galaxy S25 phones themselves: Samsung is offering immediate savings on a range of accessories that will make Samsung fans very happy. You can get the new Galaxy Buds3 Pro for free (usually $249), the Galaxy Watch Ultra for just $240 (down from $649) or the popular Galaxy Ring for $180 (normally $399).

At Rs 1,29,999, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is one of the most expensive non-foldable phones out there. While it’s a great device, it’s hard not to feel like something’s missing. For this price, you’d expect a standout feature or two, but there’s nothing truly new or game-changing to justify the premium, in terms of hardware at least.

Samsung calls this phone Ultra because everything is supposed to be ultra. But the regular S25 and S25 Plus have a lot of its best specs and features and cost much less.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expensive, but it's also good at everything, even if its cameras and battery life can't quite beat some of the best alternatives
