Rejoice, Galaxy fans — Samsung Galaxy S25 pre-orders are officially open and will close on February 13, 2025. Samsung's new flagship smartphones were unveiled overnight at the latest Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California, touting new and improved Galaxy AI features, and Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets across the whole lineup.
As always, Australia's top retailers and carriers are offering bonuses for those who secure the new flagship ahead of its February 14 release, and we've taken the liberty of rounding up the best Samsung Galaxy S25 pre-order offers for your convenience.
Samsung's Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra handsets are available to pre-order from all the usual suspects, including Amazon, Optus, Vodafone and Samsung, among others.
If you do purchase a Galaxy S25 from one of Australia's three major telcos — Telstra, Optus and Vodafone — you will have the option of buying it outright or paying it off on a plan over 12, 24 or 36 months.
Samsung Galaxy S25: Pricing

Samsung Galaxy S25: What's new?
The first thing you're likely to notice about Samsung's new flagships is that they now share a unified design. In other words, the Galaxy S25 Ultra no longer sports squared corners and a curved display, opting instead for the same rounded corners and flat display featured on the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus.
Unlike last year's models, all three Galaxy S25 devices now share the same processor, with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset promising a significant boost in performance and power efficiency.
You can expect the same camera arrays on the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus, however, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has received an upgraded 50MP ultra-wide sensor, a welcome improvement to the 12MP ultra-wide sensor on the S24 Ultra.
Once again, the biggest selling point for Samsung's Galaxy S25 lineup comes down to its new Galaxy AI features, including AI-powered search functionality across the entire phone, a new dynamic Now Bar at bottom of your lock screen, similar to the iPhone's Dynamic Island feature, and much more.
