Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy S25 series on January 22, and ahead of the big reveal, alleged pricing for the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra in Europe has surfaced. The source? An Italian retailer jumped the gun and published the prices early—only to take them down shortly after. However, these figures have sparked some scepticism due to their peculiar nature.
Galaxy S25 Pricing
The purported prices for the Galaxy S25 are as follows:
- €973 for the 128GB model
- €1,036 for the 256GB version
- €1,162 for the 512GB variant
These numbers seem questionable because Samsung typically sets recommended retail prices that end in 49 or 99. For example, it’s more likely the base model would be priced at €949 or €999. This discrepancy suggests either the retailer made a mistake or deliberately posted placeholder numbers.
Galaxy S25+ Pricing
For the Galaxy S25+, the leaked prices are:
- €1,246 for the 256GB version
- €1,371 for the 512GB option
Again, these prices don’t align with Samsung’s usual pricing patterns, adding to the speculation that these figures may not be accurate.
Galaxy S25 Ultra Pricing
The rumoured prices for the high-end Galaxy S25 Ultra are even steeper:
- €1,571 for 256GB of storage
- €1,696 for 512GB
- €1,948 for the 1TB model
If we round these numbers to the nearest hundred, it suggests that Europe could be facing a €100 price increase across all models compared to the previous generation. However, it’s also possible these prices are mere guesses rather than genuine leaks.
Missing Galaxy S25 Slim
One notable absence in the pricing leak is the Galaxy S25 Slim. This omission aligns with earlier rumors that the Slim variant will launch a few months after the main lineup.
Conclusion
While the leaked prices provide some idea of what to expect, their odd structure and lack of official confirmation leave room for doubt. Whether this is a genuine leak or simply an attempt by the retailer to grab attention remains unclear. With the launch date approaching, we won’t have to wait long to see the official pricing and whether European customers will indeed face a price hike.
