Black Friday is getting ever closer, and we’re right around the corner from the official November 28 actual Black Friday. As such, the pace of phone deals is picking up, and we’re now starting to see some big discounts on some premium models – such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which you can now get for as low as $849.99 in the US via Samsung and £879 in the UK via Laptops Direct.

However, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is actually discounted in every storage capacity in both the US and UK, and at multiple retailers to boot. That’s why I’ve looked for the best early Black Friday deals I can find for the Galaxy S25 Ultra in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage configurations – and, in the US at least, Samsung itself is leading the way.
Another reason I’ve highlighted Samsung’s deals in particular is because of the tech giant’s famously generous trade-in policy, which can bring the price of this flagship all the way down to $599.99 (though you’ll need to give up a good-condition Galaxy S24 Ultra for the maximum discount).
In the UK, Samsung is operating a hefty trade-in discount, but its discount prices without a trade-in applied aren’t as good as those found elsewhere, which is why I’ve highlighted other deals. But do check out Samsung UK, especially if you have a recent Galaxy phone to hand in.
Today’s best Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Black Friday deals
Samsung is offering a major discount on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, plus a storage upgrade on the house, meaning this deal offers $570 of actual savings. At the time of writing, there’s no option to buy the 256GB model on Samsung’s website, but at this price you’re already well below the typical starting point. View Deal
You can grab a serious discount on the 1TB model of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra too. This is a serious amount of storage that gives you ample space for photos, videos, apps and games. Otherwise this is the same super-powered phone as the less expensive variants. View Deal
In the UK, Laptops Direct has the best price I’ve seen for the Galaxy S25 Ultra with 256GB of storage, knocking just shy of £300 off the typical retail price. It’s still an expensive phone, but compared to other devices in the £800-£900 bracket the Galaxy S25 Ultra is a powerhouse, with a speedy Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and four rear cameras.View Deal
For the Galaxy S25 Ultra with 512GB of storage, the best deal I’ve seen is at AO, knocking £380 off the usually lofty price. At 512GB of storage this Galaxy S25 Ultra model has as much storage capacity as a high-end laptop; all for less than the typical price of a premium handset. View Deal
Back to Laptops Direct for the 1TB Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra model, which boasts a simply huge amount of on-device storage. If you’re cloud-averse, or know you’re going to get heavy use out of your smartphone for a long time to come, or want to shoot loads of high quality photos and (especially) video, this could be the one to go for. A £400 saving like this is nothing to ignore. View Deal
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra finds itself on our lists of the best phones, the best Android phones, the best camera phones, the best AI phones, the best gaming phones, and – wait for it – the best Samsung phones. TL;DR: it’s a really good phone.
The S25 Ultra is equipped with a 6.9-inch display that supports the S Pen stylus housed within the phone itself. It’s one of the best screens you’ll find on a phone, with a 1440p resolution and 2600 nits of peak brightness.
On the back, you’ll find the phone’s iconic quad-camera array, comprised of a 200MP main camera, 50MP ultra-wide camera, 50MP 3x telephoto camera and 10MP 5x telephoto camera, giving you a great balance between versatility and quality.
The phone is made of glass and titanium, which protects the internal hardware – speaking of which, the Galaxy S25 Ultra makes use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset – commonly considered the best Android chipset around – and between 12GB and 16GB of RAM depending on spec.
As its inclusion on our many lists suggests, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is ready for basically whatever you can throw at it – and with hundreds of dollars or pounds in savings, now could be a good time to buy if you just can’t wait to see what Black Friday itself has in store.
