Subj : My favourite phone of 2025 is at a record-low price the Samsung To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Thu Sep 04 2025 02:00:07 My favourite phone of 2025 is at a record-low price the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is 26% off right now Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2025 00:47:04 +0000 Description: The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the flagship of the Samsung range and with AU$564 off, its a must-have for photographers and power users. FULL STORY ====================================================================== Ive used many phones across 2025, from oddballs like the Nothing Phone 3 to the extremely fun Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 , but no handset has truly grabbed me like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. And now that the 256GB model has its had its price slashed from AU$2,149 to just AU$1,585, its a phone I think you simply cant ignore. The Galaxy S25 Ultra represents the height of Samsungs smartphone business there might be more expensive handsets like the Z Fold 7, or experimental ones like the near impossibly thin S25 Edge, but the S25 Ultra culminates the best of the companys camera, display and processing capabilities. Its the absolute best camera phone you can buy in Australia, and if you can snag a discount, its well worth picking up. The Galaxy S25 Ultra sports an incredible quadruple camera array, including an exceptionally detailed 200MP main camera, 10MP telephoto, 50MP periscope telephoto and 50MP ultrawide but its incredible processor (a Snapdragon 8 Elite), massive anti-reflective screen and multi-day battery life put it among the best phones in Australia. This discount applies to the Titanium Grey and Titanium Black models, though the black is almost out of stock. The Titanium Blue and Titanium Silver models are AU$1,587. View Deal I've previously spotted the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra at its lowest price in May (during a Samsung Secret Sale), when it was down to AU$1,611.75, but this deal tops that across all colourways. TechRadars Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review was filled with praise, labelling it "the ultimate Android" and awarding it 4.5 stars (along with a TechRadar Recommends seal of approval). The phone has an exceptional design to it that drives home its premium status. Plus its brilliant battery life, mixed with its excellent screen, is simply easy to fall in love with. Our reviewer only had two major problems: generative AI is still a bit hit and miss, and Samsung still doesnt offer total photo-reality with its cameras (as opposed to Googles very true to life images). That being said, the S25 Ultra can capture in Expert RAW and photography settings can be tweaked quite heavily, which is handy for photographers who need a backup camera in their kit. When I went hands-on with the S25 Ultra , I focused more on the phones operating system because for the first time in a while, I really felt like Samsung was giving the OS the attention it deserved. It looks remarkably clean and mastered, much like an iPhone or Google Pixel, and despite Samsungs phone still feeling buried in layers of updates, it genuinely felt like a useful degree of polish had been applied with this generation. Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra isnt your style thats OK, its a big phone and even with a discount its still quite pricey.
