If you've been disappointed by the Samsung Galaxy S25 deals so far this Black Friday deals shopping season, maybe a different S25 model will get you a better discount!

I've tested all of the latest Galaxy S25 phones, from the powerful base model through the thin new Galaxy S25 Edge up to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, one of my favorite camera phones of all time.

All of the Galaxy S25 family of phones proved to be excellent mobile computers in my tests, with the incredibly powerful and battery-efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset running the show. Based on my weeks of using these phones in the real world, I can attest you won't finder faster, more feature-complete phones, and they are perfect for business users and gamers alike.

• Shop Amazon's full Black Friday Samsung US and Samsung UK sales

The Galaxy S25 is on sale now for $674.99, down from its average price of around $715 and the it's only £599 in the UK, down from an average around £785. That's not the lowest price I've seen, not by a long shot - the Galaxy S25 has been as low as $574.99 on Amazon. It's still a very good price, so if you need a phone right now, don't hesitate to pick one up. However, it may be smart to wait.

The Galaxy S25 Edge might be the best bargain of them all

Yes, even the Galaxy S25 Edge, the much-maligned new thin Galaxy phone, which may be the best deal you can find on a Galaxy right now. The S25 Edge is only $819.99 on Amazon, which is close to its average but well below its $1,099.99 launch price. In the UK, the Galaxy S25 has hit an all-time low price of £749, down from an average of £965.

In my testing, the Galaxy S25 Edge was a powerhouse phone with excellent cooling, making it a great fit for gamers, if you don't mind plugging it in a bit more often.

There's still more time before the shopping season peaks, so we may see a further discounts. Samsung usually launches its next model in January, but we've heard the schedule could be pushed back this year, so it's possible this phone might get another discount in January, as shelves clear to make way for the Galaxy S26.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is thin and incredibly light, but that doesn't mean it isn't just as capable as the rest of the Galaxy S25 family. It packs the same powerful and efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor inside, and it has fantastic cooling to keep the phone chugging along through hours of gameplay or video recording. The 200MP sensor makes this a surprisingly good camera phone as well, unlike Apple's thin competitor. This is a great deal, one of the best discounts you'll find on any Galaxy S25 series device, especially if you opt for the 512GB model.

The biggest discount among the Galaxy S25 family is sadly attached to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Starting at such a high price, there's more room to come down.

In the UK, the Galaxy S25 Ultra can be yours for only £999, an all-time low price.

In the US, the Galaxy S25 Ultra with 512GB of storage is only $1,019.99 on Amazon right now. That's an all-time low price for the Ultra with a storage bump, and it's $150 lower than the average US price on Amazon. Every Galaxy is on sale, but that's the best deal of the bunch.
