  • $699.98 buys the unlocked 256GB Galaxy S25+ on Amazon, a $300 discount that positions last year’s flagship as a cheaper alternative to newer premium phones.
  • Amazon’s current unlocked Galaxy S26+ still costs $895 after a 19% discount, leaving the S25+ roughly $195 lower while keeping a similar flagship tier and storage level.
  • The S25+ package includes a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 12GB RAM, a 6.7-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED display and a 4,900mAh battery with 45W charging.
  • Samsung also equips the phone with a 50MP main camera, 3x optical zoom, ultrawide lens and Galaxy AI features powered by Google Gemini, while the unlocked model supports U.S. and global carriers.
