As expected, the Samsung Unpacked event on Feb. 25 confirmed the release of the Samsung Galaxy S26 family: The regular S26, the S26 Plus, and the S26 Ultra. Some big Samsung fans are pumped because they can officially preorder the Galaxy S26 — other Samsung fans are pumped because the existence of the Galaxy S26 probably means deals on the Galaxy S25.

Galaxy S25 deals aren’t going super hard yet, especially considering many S25 configurations are sold out at multiple retailers (even Samsung itself). But there are a few worthwhile unlocked Samsung phone deals and refurbished phone deals are floating around. We’ll be on the lookout for deals on the Galaxy S25, S25 Ultra, S25 Edge, S25+, and S25 FE for the rest of the week, with promos from phone carriers and Samsung itself likely in the coming days. In the meantime, keep up with our live coverage of everything announced at Samsung Unpacked.

Should you get a Galaxy S25 over the Galaxy S26?

In some ways, it even feels wrong to use a term like “settling” when opting for last year’s Galaxy S25 over the S26.

If it’s comforting at all, there aren’t any major discrepancies in our initial direct comparison between the two — the biggest differences mostly involve the S26’s expanded AI editing tools and Samsung’s new Privacy Display. In terms of the two flagships, the Galaxy S25 and S26 Ultra lines have the same AMOLED display with a 1-120Hz refresh rate, and the S26 Ultra’s cameras all have the same resolutions as the S25 Ultra’s.

If your biggest pet peeve is a phone that loses charge over time, the S25 might actually be a safer choice. Battery health could be a main disadvantage of the S26, with reports alleging that the S26 will only be able to hit 80 percent at full charge after 1,200 charging cycles.
