Premium smartphones are usually synonymous of hefty price tags, but Samsung has released an irresistible offer that feels almost too good to be true. Just a month after its grand debut, the Galaxy S25 Ultra comes with a massive discount that transforms this flagship Android into an accessible luxury.

I’ll enjoy using the latest OnePlus flagship. I love the performance and value for money the company is known for, and the OnePlus 11 and 12 have been legitimately good smartphones. Still, a part of me is always glad to get back to the warm embrace of the Samsung Galaxy series once the review period is over.

Of course, the biggest difference here relates to the size of these two phones. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is huge, measuring 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2mm and weighing a hefty 218g. The Pixel 9 Pro is much more pocketable, measuring 152.8 x 72 x 8.5mm and weighing 199g.
