TL;DR: Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra flagship phone is under $949 for Prime Day if you get the 256GB model, a 27% decrease from its $1,299 list price.

Samsung fans who need to upgrade their phones should strongly consider checking out this Prime Day deal, as the Galaxy S25 Ultra that came out just earlier this year is available for less than $1,000 if you grab the 256GB model. However, the 512GB model is only $1,054, so for approximately an extra Benjamin, you can get twice the storage capacity (if that appeals to you at all).
For that price, you get the highest-end Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset that's currently available, guaranteeing strong everyday performance. In my review of the phone, I noted that the new rounded corners around the edges are much more comfortable in the hand than the more angular design of previous Samsung flagships. The 5,000mAh battery also provides strong battery life to go along with a big 6.9-inch display and the included S Pen stylus.
Oh yeah, you also get a 200MP wide lens on the rear camera array. All in all, this is a great value for less than $1,000.
