Samsung has the best S25 Plus preorder deal
Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus in Mint.

As the world waits for the official release of Samsung's next generation of flagship smartphones, it's no surprise that the best phone deals for Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus preorders are from Samsung itself. Originally priced at $1,000 for the 256GB model and at $1,120 for the 512GB model, you can get up to $700 off if you trade in an eligible device. Buying the 256GB model also comes with $100 of Samsung Credit, while the 512GB model is currently $100 off. That means you'll technically pay as low as $200 for the 256GB version and $320 for the 512GB version. Those prices are extremely hard to beat.

Why you should preorder the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, which was announced at Samsung Unpacked 2025 and is slated to launch on February 7, is the middle option in the brand's new lineup of smartphones between the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The differences between the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus versus Samsung Galaxy S25 are more than just their sizes -- the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus has a 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with 1440 x 3120 resolution and 513 ppi, while the Samsung Galaxy S25 has a 6.2-inch FHD+ AMOLED display at 1080 x 2340 pixel resolution and 416 pixels per inch.
