Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Price Slashed In Rare Double Offer
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is displayed for sale at a mobile phone store in Srinagar, Jammu and ... More Kashmir, on February 8, 2025. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto via Getty Images) NurPhoto via Getty Images While the Galaxy Z Fold 7 stole the limelight with an aggressive pre-order deal, Samsung saved one of its better promotions for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Korean company has launched two discount vouchers that enhance trade-in prices and knock some money off the Galaxy S25 Ultra in the U.K. First up is the '7DAYS' code that knocks 10% off the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which amounts to a £124.90 ($167.30) discount if no device is traded-in. It has to be applied at checkout and expires on July 29th. Forbes Samsung Makes New 5 Year Credit Offer To Galaxy Z Fold 7 Buyers By Janhoi McGregor The second code '100TI' boosts trade-in prices by £100 ($133.94). Samsung's base trade-in valuations fall far below a rare deal it launched back in June that suddenly raised prices for used phones. But the £100 boost brings the current offer close to it. Here's a selection of today's prices with the £100 boost compared to Samsung's June deal. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra June price: £581 ($778.22), today's price: £553 ($740.71) Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus June price: £333 ($446.04), today's price: £357 ($478.18) Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra June price: £449 ($601.41), today's price: £486 ($650.97) Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra June price: £341 ($456.75), today's price: £324 ($433.98) Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max June price: £230 ($308.07), today's price: £445 ($596.05) Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max June price: £500 ($669.72), today's price: £755 ($1011.28) iPhone owners looking to switch to the Galaxy S25 Ultra are the clear winners. Not just for the increased pricing over last month's offer, but also because those valuations are more than you will get on the secondary market for the same phones. The Galaxy phones, too, are a mixed bag of slightly below or above Samsung's best trade-in promotion. This is a solid deal that's worth taking advantage of. Forbes A New Samsung Galaxy S26 Design Upgrade Makes Perfect Sense By Janhoi McGregor Samsung launched its new trade-in program right before the Galaxy Z Fold 7 landed. (Photo by Jung ... More Yeon-je / AFP) (Photo by JUNG YEON-JE/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images If you're in the U.K., it is a good time to trade-in your phone because Samsung is doubling down on its trade-in supremacy with a new scheme. Earlier this month the Korean company launched a standalone trade-in program pays out store credit—that can be used to buy any Samsung product—for your old phone. The company says that the store credit will last for up to five years. Alongside the new credit offer, the Korean company now accepts a wider range of devices including; Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo, Sony, and other handsets it doesn't normally accept. Typically, when trading-in to buy a new phone, Samsung will group any handsets not made by Apple, Google, or itself under a single 'any other Android' category, which comes with a single price. You won't get much for your Sony, OnePlus or Huawei phone from Samsung, but you wouldn't on the secondary market either. Forbes Google Slashes Pixel 9, Pixel 8 Pro Price Ahead Of Pixel 10 Launch By Janhoi McGregor The new scheme is a solid option for people looking to lock in a decent trade-in price to use later (as store credit). Phones—including the Galaxy S25 Ultra—rapidly decrease in value so sitting on your unused device is rarely a good move. What isn't clear is if these prices will change to keep up with whatever deal Samsung is running that day, or if they'll remain static. We also don't know if the scheme will come to the U.S. (I have asked). U.S. trade-in pricing is competitive and therefore often higher when compared to Europe (a trade-off for not giving away free tablets). Perhaps Samsung wants to keep its options open and not stick to static trade-in pricing for promotions similar to this Galaxy S25 Ultra deal. Or, maybe the scheme is headed Stateside after similar programs landed in Korea and France earlier this year.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will finally feature a tangible upgrade to its main camera
Ask a Samsung user about a pet peeve of theirs, and you're likely to hear about the 200 MP camera that hasn't seen much improvement in years. According to a new leak, however, it seems that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will finally break that tradition, and feature a real, physical upgrade to its main sensor's S26 Ultra will use the same sensor as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but apparently with a larger aperture. In simple terms, the phone's sensor will receive a lot more light than its predecessor. This should, in theory, drastically improve image quality, especially in environments where some objects are shrouded in shadow. Nighttime photography should also see a bump in quality. Samsung users have been complaining about the stagnant camera hardware for years, and the company finally upgraded the ultrawide sensor this year. Our Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review found the upgrade to be quite minor, however, with AI enhancements doing most of the heavy lifting. Which is why a tangible upgrade to the main sensor is one of the most exciting changes that Samsung could have introduced to its flagship phones. Much like with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung is finally listening to user feedback and delivering products that people have been asking if you thought that the camera was the only upgrade on the S26 Ultra , you'll be pleasantly surprised to learn that that's not the case. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra mostly relies on AI for photography improvements. | Image credit — PhoneArena The company has finally listened, and the battery on the S26 Ultra will very likely break the 5,000 mAh barrier at last. Not only that, but it will charge faster than the standard 45 W that Samsung has been relying on for years as well. Yet another recent report has also claimed that the company has had to give up on bringing the Exynos 2600 to the S26 series. Instead, the processor for the Galaxy S26 phones will probably be the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2. A very popular choice, according to your votes on the poll in that story. Samsung may very well be improving its battery and camera only because the iPhone 17 series is expected to do the same. Apple is reportedly targeting a thicker iPhone 17 Pro Max with a larger battery, so Samsung has an incentive to improve. Whatever the reason may be, it's about time!
