iPhone 17 models are unavailable on Amazon’s platform for Black Friday, but flagship Android devices receive huge price cuts including the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Google Pixel 10, and OnePlus 13. Right now, the Galaxy S25 Ultra costs $899 for the 256GB model during Black Friday on Amazon, down from $1,299 and captures the #1 bestseller position in the entire cell phones category.
Stunning AMOLED Screen
Samsung worked with Qualcomm to make custom improvements to the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor. These improvements give it faster clock speeds and better AI abilities than the standard chip found in other phones. The processor can handle a lot of tasks at once like editing 8K video professionally, playing demanding games at their highest settings, and running dozens of apps at once without overheating, which is a problem with less powerful processors. The neural processing unit speeds up AI features like live translation, real-time photo enhancement, and voice processing on the device itself which keeps your privacy safe by not uploading anything to the cloud.
The 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen has a resolution of 3088 x 1440 and an adaptive refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz that changes based on the type of content being displayed. When you look at still pictures, the refresh rate drops to 1Hz to save battery life. When you scroll or play games, it goes up to 120Hz for smooth motion that rivals dedicated gaming phones.
For HDR content, the peak brightness is 2,600 nits which makes it easy to see outside in direct sunlight when other phones can’t. The latest coating technology makes Gorilla Glass Victus 3 more durable without making it less sensitive to touch or less clear to see. It can resist scratches and drops. The HDR10+ support makes compatible videos look amazing by adding depth and contrast. The always-on display shows the time and notifications without waking the screen.
Samsung’s optimization, which includes efficient processors, adaptive displays, and smart power management makes the 5,000mAh battery last all day. Heavy users who stream videos, play games, and use 5G all day long can still get through a full workday without needing to charge, while moderate users can go into the second evening without needing to charge. The 45W fast charging takes about 65 minutes to fully charge the batteries but Samsung doesn’t include chargers in the box, so you have to buy them separately or use USB-C power adapters you already have.
The 200MP main sensor in the quad camera system captures amazing detail by combining multiple pixels for better low-light performance and clearer images. The high resolution lets you crop a lot while still keeping the quality usable, which is like having digital zoom that goes beyond what the camera can do. The 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom can take pictures of things that are far away without losing quality and the 10MP telephoto lens can take pictures of people and things that are medium-distance away with 3x optical zoom. The 12MP ultra-wide lens can take pictures of wide landscapes with very little edge distortion, which was a problem with earlier ultra-wide lenses.
The S Pen that comes with the device lets you write naturally, draw accurately and use Air Actions gesture controls without having to charge or pair it. The pressure sensitivity makes drawing feel like it does on a dedicated digital art tablet, and the low latency makes handwriting feel natural instead of laggy.
Samsung’s custom interface, One UI, comes with Android 15 and adds features like split-screen multitasking, better security through Knox, and a lot of ways to customize the look of your phone, including themes, icon packs, and Always-On Display designs. Samsung promises to give the phone seven years of major Android updates and security patches. This means it will get Android 16 through 22 and stay safe until 2032.
If you want the best Android phone that Samsung makes with features that make it an “Ultra”, this deal makes flagship perfection available at an unheard-of Black Friday price that explains why it’s the best-selling phone.
