- Samsung Mobile South Africa has announced that local pre-orders for the Galaxy S25 series will go live tonight.
- Recommended pricing for the new smartphones start from R20 999.
- Samsung is bundling the Galaxy Watch 7 as part of a promotional offer.
This evening Samsung officially announced its latest flagship lineup – the Galaxy S25 series.
The local arm of the company is wasting little time in trying to get devices into the hands of South Africans, as Galaxy S25 pre-orders are already going live in SA.
S25 pre-orders are available on the local Samsung website, with the company offering its usually trade-in offer for those wanting to get the new hardware for less that the current recommended asking price.
As always, trade-in value will depend on the condition and age of the device you’re wanting to trade-in.
For those not looking to trade-in and simply pre-order, recommended pricing starts at R20 999 for the regular S25. This climbs to R24 99 for the S25+ and tops out at R30 999 for the S25 Ultra.
To sweeten the pre-order offer, Samsung is bundling the Galaxy Watch 7 for an additional once-off cost of R2 000, with monthly contract pricing also being made available.
