Best Buy is dropping $225 OFF the Galaxy S25 for a limited time, so what’s the catch?

The summer season is swiftly approaching, and Galaxy S25 deals are among the first things heating up. Right now, buyers can get up to $225 off the standard Samsung Galaxy S25 at Best Buy with carrier activation, or $125 off when you buy unlocked.

The powerful Samsung Galaxy S25 is the closest thing to a compact phone you can find in today’s market. With its 6.2-inch AMOLED display, seven years of software support, and the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the phone has a lot to offer, and especially for those reminiscing about bygone eras of smaller smartphones.

This particular deal is for the 128GB storage configuration, though Best Buy is also offering $125 off on the 256GB version if you need more storage.

✅Recommended if: you’re looking for a good deal on a smaller phone; you want a phone with some of the latest Galaxy AI features; you’ve liked other Galaxy ecosystem devices you’ve owned.

❌Skip this deal if: you’d prefer some of Samsung’s premium-level phones that include more significant hardware improvements; you need something with super-fast charging speeds; you need a device that includes UWB support.

Samsung’s semi-compact Galaxy S25 is the best flagship Samsung phone out there, sporting a 6.2-inch, 120Hz refresh rate AMOLED display, along with a wide range of Galaxy AI features and a thin, lightweight, yet durable design. It might even be the best flagship phone across brands, though that’s still up for debate.

The S25’s performance is backed by the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, along with 12GB of RAM for a super smooth user experience. Despite being small, it features a decent 4,000mAh battery, with a 50MP main camera and an ultra-wide lens, among others. It also comes with seven years of OS upgrades, and a handful of software and camera features that weren’t included with the S24.
