The Galaxy S25 Ultra is seeing notable price drops in Singapore right now, especially from local independent retailers for brand-new, unlocked units. Here’s the updated breakdown for the 12GB RAM variants:
- 256GB: Original retail ~S$1,828 → Current street price ~S$1,139 – S$1,168 → Savings ~S$660–S$689
- 512GB: Original retail ~S$2,028 → Current street price ~S$1,338 – S$1,548 → Savings ~S$480–S$690
(Note: These street prices align with recent listings from places like OnePhone at around S$1,168 for 256GB, and other retailers showing similar discounts ahead of the S26 series launch. Official Samsung SG pricing remains higher, often starting around S$1,708–S$1,828 with occasional promos.)
Is the S25 Ultra Still Worth Buying?
With the Galaxy S26 Ultra launch happening very soon (Unpacked event on February 25, 2026, with release likely in early March), the S25 Ultra at these discounted levels looks like a strong value option. Leaks point to the S26 Ultra being a relatively iterative upgrade rather than a revolutionary leap:
- Staying the same (or very similar): 5,000mAh battery capacity, core quad-camera system (still led by the 200MP main sensor), and overall form factor basics.
- New/changed: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset (faster/more efficient than the S25’s chip), slightly flatter/more rounded design for better comfort, expanded on-device Galaxy AI features (building on what’s already excellent in the S25), potential “privacy display” tech (limits side-angle viewing for better privacy), brighter/more efficient display panel, possible faster charging (rumors of 60W wired vs. 45W), and minor camera sensor tweaks for improved low-light or processing.
Day-to-day usage—camera quality, battery life, display, and S Pen experience—won’t feel dramatically different for most people. The S26 Ultra might command similar or even slightly higher pricing at launch due to component costs, making the current S25 Ultra discounts (up to ~S$700 off) a smart financial choice if you’re not chasing the absolute latest processor or niche AI/privacy additions.
If you’re upgrading from an older device (e.g., S23/S24 series or earlier), the S25 Ultra at these prices delivers flagship performance, excellent cameras, and long software support without paying full new-flagship rates.
