The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 series is expected to maintain the same pricing structure as its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 series. According to retailer data (via WinFuture), Samsung is seemingly sticking with the pricing model introduced with the Galaxy S24, which means the new devices will likely be available at the same prices across several markets.
While Samsung has not yet provided official confirmation of the pricing for the Galaxy S25 series, preliminary information from Scandinavian retailers indicates that the prices for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra will be identical to those of the previous generation models.
In Sweden, for example, the Galaxy S24 was launched starting at 11,490 krone for the base model, with the S24+ priced at 14,490 krone and the S24 Ultra at 17,790 krone. Retailers are quoting the same prices for the upcoming Galaxy S25 series, including for the versions with higher storage options.
Reported pricing:
If this pricing strategy holds for other regions, including Germany, customers can expect the following base prices 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
We previously reported that the prices are expected to go up due to the Snapdragon 8 Elite being significantly more expensive than the 8 Gen 3. Weibo tipster Setsuna Digital claimed that the S25 Ultra’s bill of materials alone has gone up by at least $110. So what’s going on?
Exynos 2500 in Europe?
Samsung may be choosing to maintain prices due to economic factors and market conditions. After all, it increased the price of the Ultra model by $100 last year. Also, WinFuture only reported the pricing in Europe, where Samsung has historically sold phones with its in-house Exynos chips.
In that context, the base and plus models have surfaced with both the Exynos 2500 and Snapdragon 8 Elite chip in Geekbench. This suggests that Samsung may continue its dual-platform strategy, using different chips for different regions. This could explain why the prices in Europe remain the same, despite the Snapdragon 8 Elite being more expensive. The official unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is set for January 22, 2025.
