The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is on the horizon and is likely to keep the same price points as the Galaxy S24 series. Retail data from WinFuture suggests that Samsung plans to stick with the pricing strategy it introduced with the Galaxy S24, meaning that the new models will probably be released at comparable prices in various markets.
Pricing Information from Retailers
While Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed the prices for the Galaxy S25 series yet, early details from retailers in Scandinavia reveal that the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra are expected to have the same prices as their predecessors. For instance, in Sweden, the Galaxy S24 was launched at a starting price of 11,490 krone for the base version, with the S24+ at 14,490 krone and the S24 Ultra at 17,790 krone. Retailers are indicating that the Galaxy S25 series will follow this same pricing pattern, even for models with larger storage capacities.
Expected Prices in Europe
If this pricing strategy applies to other countries, like Germany, here’s what customers might anticipate for the Galaxy S25 series (in euros):
- Galaxy S25
- 128GB: €899
- 256GB: €959
- Galaxy S25+
- 256GB: €1149
- 512GB: €1269
- Galaxy S25 Ultra
- 256GB: €1449
- 512GB: €1569
- 1024GB: €1809
Previously, we mentioned that prices might rise because the Snapdragon 8 Elite is notably pricier than the 8 Gen 3. A tipster on Weibo, Setsuna Digital, indicated that the cost of materials for the S25 Ultra has increased by at least $110. So what’s happening here?
Dual-Platform Strategy?
Samsung could be keeping the prices steady due to economic reasons and the current market situation. Notably, they raised the price of the Ultra model by $100 last year. Furthermore, WinFuture has only reported prices for Europe, where Samsung has traditionally sold devices equipped with its own Exynos processors.
In this light, the base and plus models have shown up in Geekbench tests with both the Exynos 2500 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. This points to Samsung possibly continuing its dual-platform approach, deploying different processors in various regions. That might clarify why the prices in Europe are staying the same, even with the increased cost of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The official reveal for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is scheduled for January 22, 2025.
