With the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra officially out today, I'm here to recommend you buy the Galaxy S24 instead... at the right time and the right price.

All eyes in the mobile world are currently focused on the Samsung Galaxy S25 range, but don’t lose sight of a bargain elsewhere – especially if it’s the outgoing top model. I’ve had my eyes on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra over the past month,

The similarities are enough to keep you confused while making the purchase decision and whether you should go with S25 Ultra – the latest and greatest from the company or choose last year’s Galaxy S24 Ulltra which appears to be a value-for-money offering at the reduced price.

The S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra feature modest upgrades, but are they enough to justify a big purchase? Here's how the phones stack up against each other, as well as previous Galaxy devices.

Galaxy S25+ ($1,000), and Galaxy S25 Ultra ($1,300) are powerful, reliable, and well-equipped smartphones. They're excellent upgrades if you're coming from a three or four-year-old device. They're just not otherwise interesting or exciting.
