Christmas was only a month ago, but for Samsung fans it may as well have come again! The South Korean tech giant has officially unveiled the Galaxy S25 range of smartphones, including the base model Galaxy S25, the mid-range Galaxy S25 Plus and the powerful Galaxy S25 Ultra. We’ve wrapped up all the best preorder deals for Aussie early adopters right on this page.

Prices for the base model Samsung Galaxy S25 start at AU$1,399, while the S25 Plus begins at AU$1,699 and the S25 Ultra costs a whopping AU$2,149 before considering larger storage options.

But perhaps you should keep those larger storage options in mind, as some preorder options are offering discounts on higher storage models. Each phone offers 256GB as the base storage option, with 512GB also available and then 1TB exclusive to the Ultra.

The phones launch on February 14 with these preorder deals available right up until the launch. We’ve already gone hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra if you’d like to read our early thoughts.

The Australian models in particular have launched with a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, and it’s the first time the standard Galaxy S and Galaxy S Plus models have launched with the same chip as their Ultra counterpart Down Under (previously, there was a different ‘International’ chip to the Snapdragon chip used in the American and Chinese models). The S25 Ultra has also received a AU$50 price drop against the launch price of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, making it a much more attractive and accessible device.

What’s new with the Samsung Galaxy S25?

• New AI features
• Upgraded CPU
• Refreshed Ultra design
• New 50MP ultra-wide camera
• Teased ‘Edge’ model

Samsung’s 2025 range of Galaxy S devices didn’t include sweeping hardware upgrades and monumental changes to the software, but there were some things of note. In the Australian market, the S25 and S25 Plus are receiving the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (changed over from an Exynos chip), the same processor inside the S25 Ultra.

The Ultra also received a redesign that rounded the edges and brought it more stylistically in line with the rest of the range (and further away from the Note that it shares DNA with), while also receiving a new 50MP ultra-wide camera.

Each phone, as usual, is IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, packing a gorilla glass panel and an AMOLED 2x display. Each phone supports fast charging (offering a 0-50% charge in 30 minutes) and up to 15W wireless charging with QC2.0 compatibility.

On the software-side, AI is once again leading the show. A new AI feature called Now Brief gives you a quick, AI-generated rundown on a bunch of selected points, such as news, travel time, weather and calendar plans. There’s also the new Now Bar, which offers dynamic, live updates at the bottom of the lock screen on all kinds of things, from sports to weather alerts.

AI-powered search across the phone has also been upgraded with wider app support, making it easier to find specific photos and files. There’s also a handy new group photo feature that takes a burst of shots and allows you to apply the best faces and a handy audio eraser tool for cutting out unwanted noises from videos.

Finally, Samsung also teased a slim model called the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, but we’re still getting in details on this phone.
