The device combines a large 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, multiple high-resolution rear cameras and an included S Pen. Samsung is currently running a promotion that reduces the phone's price and adds a storage uplift: a 512GB S25 Ultra can be purchased for $1,000 under the offer. The article notes different price figures, describing the deal as a $300 reduction off the original retail price while also saying buyers save roughly $420 compared with other listed figures. In addition to hardware and pricing details, Samsung has committed to providing major updates for seven years, which the source frames as a key factor in the phone’s long-term value.
