The Galaxy S24 Ultra from 2024 is still an incredibly impressive smartphone, but its current price is only half that of the latest model, the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

While Samsung has treated its Flips and Folds to a few major hardware upgrades over recent years, the Galaxy S flagships have often felt like a long, unbroken line of minor spec refreshes.

Following Galaxy Unpacked, the newly launched Galaxy S26 series has generated exceptional early demand, with initial pre-order figures surpassing previous records and marking a double-digit increase.
