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.

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.

ChatGPT Will Be Less Friendly With You After OpenAI Pulls ‘Sycophantic’ Update

The AI company acknowledges that an update to ChatGPT last week made it too informal and friendly, prompting it to pull its release.

ChatGPT really, really likes you a lot. And that’s a problem.

In a blog post, OpenAI, the company behind the popular chatbot, said it was pulling a ChatGPT update released last week that was making the technology too friendly. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis, CNET’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.)

The blog post, titled «Sycophancy in GPT-4o: What happened and what we’re doing about it,» says, «the update we removed was overly flattering or agreeable — often described as sycophantic.»

Developers noticed a problem earlier this month with ChatGPT’s tone becoming increasingly accommodating and flattering. One user in OpenAI’s developer community forums, Adyan.2024, wrote, «as a user, I’m not looking for an AI that acts like a friend. I prefer the AI to be clear, direct, and neutral — not emotionally expressive or overly friendly.»

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted about the update multiple times on social media. On April 27, he posted on X, «the last couple of GPT-4o updates have made the personality too sycophant-y and annoying (even though there are some very good parts of it), and we are working on fixes asap, some today and some this week.»

ChatGPT is estimated to have about 800 million active weekly users.
