Samsung’s 2025 Galaxy family is already on shelves, and aggressive launch promos mean you can walk away with one for little or nothing up front. Retailers and carriers are stacking trade-in credits, new-line bonuses, and instant discounts that push final prices well below sticker.
How to Get the S25 Edge (Almost) Free
T-Mobile will zero-out the $1,100 S25 Edge if you add a line or trade in on Experience Beyond or Go5G Next. Google Fi goes even further: port in on Unlimited Premium, accept $400 instant credit, then pocket $700 in bill credits-making the 256 GB model free over 24 months.
| Partner | What You Need | Max Credit | Net Cost After Credit |
|---|---|---|---|
| T-Mobile | New line or trade-in | $1,100 | $0 |
| Google Fi | New line + 24-mo credits | $1,100 | $0 |
| AT&T | Trade-in ($95+ value) | $1,000 | $100 |
| Verizon | Four new Unlimited lines | $1,120 | $0 |
Retailer Steals Without Carrier Chains
Prefer an unlocked handset? Samsung.com knocks $250 off the S25 Ultra, while Best Buy matches that and still lets you stack trade-ins. Amazon currently lists the 512 GB S25 Edge in Titanium Jet-Black for $799-a straight $301 cut and the lowest cash price we’ve seen.
- Samsung direct: up to $700 trade-in (can’t combine with instant rebate)
- Best Buy: instant discounts plus trade-in on top
- Amazon: up to $600 trade-in bonus on select models
