Buying call

Buy the Galaxy S25+ only at a clear discount from Samsung's $999.99 list (Oct 8, 2026): you get a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite, 45W charging that hit 70% in 30 minutes, and 16 h 55 min in one battery test. Skip it if you want the best value in the lineup, because reviewers saw it as stuck between the S25 and the Ultra, and the smaller S25, $799.99 at Samsung (Oct 8, 2026), lasted 15 h 43 min in the same test. The 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide and 10MP 3x telephoto cameras carry over from the S24+, and battery life improved only about an hour over that phone. There's also no S Pen support, so note-takers should look at the Ultra.
