Save $232 Off Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra Unlocked Phone While You Still Can

Amazon has never sold this flagship Samsung phone so cheaply.

When it comes to shopping for the best Android phone money can buy, a Samsung Galaxy phone is always likely to be at or near the top of your list. At the top of its nonfoldable lineup is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, a phone with a huge display and a heap of features. But it also comes with a suitably hefty price tag, which is why finding a Galaxy S25 deal is so important. And right now, Amazon is selling one for just $1,068.

That price is the lowest that we’ve seen Amazon list this model to date, but it’s also a limited-time offer that could end at any moment. The good news is that there are multiple colors for you to choose from, but we suggest ordering your new phone soon if you don’t want to miss out.

This Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra comes with 256GB of storage and a superfast Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip that has been reworked specifically for these phones. That allows for the usual slew of AI features, including Google’s Gemini, Samsung’s own Galaxy AI and more.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

The first thing that you’ll notice about this phone is the huge 6.9-inch Dynamic OLED 2X display with a maximum 2,600-nit peak brightness, which is more than enough to make outdoor use a breeze. The display supports the included S Pen for notetaking and doodling, while photographers will be pleased to learn that Samsung hasn’t scrimped in the camera department.

The main 200-megapixel wide camera supports autofocus and optical image stabilization, while 100x Space Zoom support means you can snap subjects even when they’re way off in the distance. A 50-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens round out the main talking points.

Why this deal matters

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra sits at the very top of the Android smartphone pile if you don’t want to go the foldable route, and the chance to pick one up at a discount is always worth considering. This model comes with all of the premium features you’d expect from a phone at this price and the S Pen adds additional functionality that devices like the iPhone 16 Pro Max just can’t match.

Kim Kardashian Denies the Moon Landing and NASA Corrects Her Publicly

It’s one reality TV actor versus another, as Real World alum and acting NASA administrator Sean Duffy tells Kardashian she’s wrong.

NASA says we’ve been to the moon six times. Kim Kardashian says the first time was faked. On a recent episode of The Kardashians, the reality-show star was chatting with actress Sarah Paulson about astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon. That’s when Kardashian revealed she doesn’t believe the 1969 moon landing is real.

In an interview, Aldrin was asked about the scariest moment of the Apollo 11 mission. Kardashian quotes his reply, «There was no scary moment because it didn’t happen. It could’ve been scary, but it wasn’t because it didn’t happen.»

It’s unclear which interview this was, or what exactly Aldrin was referring to, although it seems like he’s saying a certain frightening moment didn’t come to pass. But Kardashian took the quote to mean the entire moon landing was a hoax that Aldrin chose to reveal via that one quote.

«So I think (the moon landing) didn’t happen,» she said.

NASA acting administrator (and former participant on reality show The Real World) Sean Duffy took exception to the sentiment, replying on X «Yes, Kim Kardashian, we’ve been to the moon before…6 times!»

Yes, @KimKardashian, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times!
And even better: @NASAArtemis is going back under the leadership of @POTUS.

The US did in fact land on the moon on July 20, 1969, with Aldrin and fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong both walking on the lunar surface. Armstrong died in 2012. Aldrin is now 95.

In 2002, Aldrin, then 72, punched a conspiracy theorist who tried to get him to swear the moon landings was faked.

«We won the last space race and we will win this one too!» Duffy told Kardashian on X. He later invited her to an upcoming launch at Kennedy Space Center, though she did not immediately accept.

Kardashian did not respond to a request for comment.
