This depends on what you're looking for. If you buy the phone from a retailer, the phone will probably be unlocked, meaning you can use it with any carrier. If you've been thinking about changing your phone plan sometime soon, this is a great way to get your hands on the new phone without committing to a carrier long term. However, if you already have a carrier plan, you might be eligible for offers on the S25 if you choose to add a line or trade in another phone. If you're planning on staying with your current phone plan, it's worth seeing what your carrier is offering.

As revealed during the Samsung Unpacked event, the S26 series consists of the base model, along with the S26 Plus and S26 Ultra. The S26 and S26 Plus have a $100 price hike when compared to their predecessors, but all three phones in the series have top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip and Galaxy AI. The base model got a larger display and battery, too. And the Ultra now has a slimmer and lighter build with an aluminum frame, plus it has an improved battery, camera and display.
