Give me a lighthearted recap
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the phone everyone talks about, but the Galaxy S25 is the one everyone should be buying. It's practical, powerful, and more affordable. Plus, it will live on for years thanks to Samsung's commitment to seven years of software updates.
If all of that wasn't enough, how about that this phone now costs just $350? Yes, it's really that cheap, but it does require a commitment to Mint Mobile for one year of service. Now, you might be trying to click away, but hear me out, it's still a superb deal.
Mint Mobile's promotions is very good
So what are you going to have to commit to in order to get this phone for $350? Well, it's just one year of service that comes out to be $15/month, or $180 for the whole year. You get access to the carrier's unlimited service, which delivers unlimited text, calls, and data.
We've tested out the network, and it's reliable coverage and speed left us impressed. In addition, the plan also includes free calls to Canada, Mexico, and the UK. For the most part, you can't go wrong here, with the total price coming out to just $530.
Why skip the Ultra?
Everyone tends to gravitate towards the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but it's just not the phone series that it used to be. For the past few years, Samsung has been phoning it in, with the phone's major drawback being that its cameras just aren't flagship level anymore.
When you take that away, the phone is nearly identical to what you get with the Galaxy S25. You get a powerful processor, fantastic screen, impressive software — all for a much lower price. The Galaxy S25 Ultra isn't a bad phone, it just isn't the one for most people.
So if you've been looking for something new and want a phone that delivers a refined experience, we think the Galaxy S25 is going to be the way to go. And if you're willing to sign up for Mint Mobile, you can now get it for just $350. Of course, you can always buy it unlocked for $650.
