Samsung Galaxy S25 Series launch is almost here and we still have not seen any end to speculations when it comes to pricing. While earlier rumours hinted at a price hike for the Galaxy S25 series, two new leaks suggest that Samsung may be freezing prices in certain regions including Europe and Korea.

Predicting smartphone pricing before a launch is tricky with rumours often varying by region. Concerns about the Galaxy S25’s pricing have centred on rising manufacturing costs, which could push an already expensive phone’s price even higher.

However, according to recent reports, Samsung might not pass the extra costs to consumers.

In Korea, FnNews reports suggest the Galaxy S25 is rumoured to start at 1,155,000 won, while the Galaxy S25+ and S25 Ultra could cost 1,353,000 won and 1,698,400 won, respectively for the 256GB variants. The 512GB models are expected to cost slightly more.

Meanwhile, a recent Gizmochina report leaked expected Europe prices suggesting the Galaxy S25 will start at €909, the Galaxy S25+ at €1159 and the Galaxy S25 Ultra at €1459. These prices are similar to last year’s Galaxy S24 lineup giving some hope to fans that Samsung is keeping prices steady.

As of now, all these rumours remain unconfirmed with the Galaxy S25 series set to launch in the coming days. However, if they eventually turn out to be accurate they could indicate more consumer-friendly trade-in deals and promotions.

For example, Samsung is already running a Galaxy Reserve promo offering a $50 credit and a chance to win $5,000 before the launch.

Moreover, expected free storage upgrades and fair trade-in values could make upgrading to the Galaxy S25 series even more appealing if Samsung holds the line on pricing. Fans are now waiting for the official unveiling to see if these leaks prove true or if we are in for a surprise.
