With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, prices on the outgoing Galaxy S24 Ultra have started to drop. Your cost will depend on your chosen model and whether you’re comfortable with a renewed smartphone.

I had one of the first Samsung Galaxy Note smartphones. In the past few years, though, I've gotten accustomed to smaller phones (Google's Pixel 7a, iPhone 15 Pro) that fit in the back pocket of my favorite jeans.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the latest addition to Samsung's flagship smartphone lineup, building upon the success of its predecessor, the S24 Ultra.
