The upcoming flagship models from Samsung — Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra — are expected to cost more than their predecessors. According to information from European retailers, prices may rise significantly, confirming a trend increasingly observed in the high-end smartphone market.
A Significant Price Increase Expected
An Italian retailer, Zanetti, reportedly accidentally published product listings for the Galaxy S25 models. These documents indicate a price increase ranging from €70 to €150, depending on the model and configuration. Additionally, 91Mobiles reports similar figures from another European distributor. Here’s an overview of the rumored price ranges:
- Galaxy S25 (128 GB): €964.90 – €973
- Galaxy S25 (256 GB): €1,026.90 – €1,036
- Galaxy S25 (512 GB): €1,151.90 – €1,162
- Galaxy S25+ (256 GB): €1,235.90 – €1,246
- Galaxy S25+ (512 GB): €1,359.90 – €1,371
- Galaxy S25 Ultra (256 GB): €1,557.90 – €1,571
- Galaxy S25 Ultra (512 GB): €1,681.90 – €1,696
- Galaxy S25 Ultra (1 TB): €1,930.90 – €1,948
These figures represent a noticeable increase compared to the Galaxy S24 prices. However, sources differ on the exact scale of the price hike.
Information to Take with Caution
Despite these revelations, the prices are not final and should be interpreted cautiously. Several factors cast doubt on their reliability:
- Differences Between Retailers
Two European retailers display varying prices. This may indicate placeholder prices used temporarily for online listings. - Absence of Standard Marketing Prices
The listed amounts do not follow the typical pricing strategy ending in “.99.” Samsung has consistently adhered to this approach in recent years, making a sudden departure surprising.
These uncertainties suggest waiting for official information. Samsung is likely to announce the final prices during the official unveiling of the Galaxy S25 on January 22.
What Could This Mean for Galaxy S25 Buyers?
If these price hikes are confirmed, they could influence buying behavior. Consumers might gravitate towards older models, like the Galaxy S24, which may see price reductions. This trend could also benefit competing brands offering high-end alternatives at more competitive prices.
While the indications point toward a price increase for the Galaxy S25 models, much remains uncertain. For reliable information, it’s best to wait until the official announcement.
