In this smartphone battle, we'll compare Samsung's newest Galaxy S25 Ultra with the long-standing favorite Galaxy S24 Ultra, and see which one comes out on top.

That would bring the official price of the Samsung Galaxy S24 down to roughly $700 / £700 / AU$1,250, the price of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus down to around $900 / £900 / AU$1,550, and the price of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra down to approximately $1,200 / £1,150 / AU$2,050.

Reportedly, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is not an inexpensive addition to smartphones. Throw in higher costs for components overall and political unrest in Samsung's home country of South Korea, and a lot of analysts expect prices to rise for the Galaxy S25 compared to recent Samsung flagships.
