Best Cyber Monday phone deals
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for $900 (save $400) Kerry Wan/ZDNET Current price: $900
Original price: $1,300 The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has maintained its position since its launch earlier this year, boasting a feature set that will satisfy most users, including the power-hungry. At $400 off for Cyber Monday, no strings attached, I can't recommend it enough. Just be prepared for its large 6.8-inch display, surrounded by sharper-than-usual corners that make handling the device more difficult than most. It's a small sacrifice for all the power and functionality (including a built-in stylus) you're getting. Review: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Show more View now at Amazon
