DE Deals: Pre-Order Starts for Samsung Galaxy S25 series, but is competition to consider

This week, Samsung launched its long -awaited Galaxy S25 series. Prices in the mainland Europe are similar to the previous year and, as usual, are pre-order features for early adopting.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 trio comes with free storage upgrade, which means that you will get 256GB Galaxy S25 and 512GB Galaxy S25+ or S25 Ultra at the same price as their base model. In the case of vanilla and ultra phones, there is an additional storage tier (512GB for S25 and 1TB for S25 Ultra), which is usually equal to medium tier.

Have you seen our practical review between Galaxy S25 Ultra and S24 Ultra and our two-part camera shootout? If not, then see. Then okay – yes/no on the S25 series, before making decisions, you should consider options.

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL S25 will be one of the main rivals of Ultra. Currently a unit with 512GB storage costs low – even with free storage upgrade on Galaxy! Tensor G4 cannot match the performance of Snapdragon 8 Elite, but the phone has a 48MP ultra-wide camera (a camera upgrade brought by Samsung this year) as well as 48MP 113mm Periscope and 50MP main camera.

Looking at the 256GB model, the small Google Pixel 9 Pro is small Galaxy S25 to € 50 more. Pixel is slightly larger and what we said about the tensor chip is true. However, this phone has the same cameras as Pro XL and the 48MP 113mm module wires the floor with a 10MP 67mm module on the Galaxy, the same 48MP goes to the ultra-wide vs 12MP. Even selfie camera is better at 42mp 17mm ultra-wide vs. 12MP 26mm on Galaxy.

The OnePlus 13 uses Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip (with a little less watches) and triple claims 50mp hassalblad camera: 50MP main, 50MP 73 mm periscope and 50MP ultra-wide. And it breaks the mold with a large 6,000mAh battery that supports 100W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. None of 45W charging here!

Realme GT 7 Pro is available in 12/256GB configuration with the same Snapdragon 8 Elite. It is a large phone with 6.78 ”LTPO display and it emphasizes the same onePlus on its cameras: it has 50MP main, 50MP 73mm telephoto and only 8MP ultra wide. The battery is larger than 6,500mAh and supports a fast 120W charging (although only wired).

Red Magic 10 Pro is another Snapdragon 8 Elite option at 10 Pro € 800 or more. It has more RAM (16GB) and storage (512GB) than Realme and is an active cooling fan gaming phone. The 6.85 ”display (144hz, non-LTPO) has an under-display camera to keep the front on the front side. The rear camera includes 50MP main and 50MP ultra wide, but there is no telephoto. are you ready for this? The phone has a 7,050mAh battery with 100W charging (again, only wired). Note that fan means that there is no water resistance rating.

It also has its own Galaxy S24 Fe. It is quite cheap – the price of 256 GB phone is only € 610 – but it is also quite large with 6.7 “display. It is not direct competitive of S25 or S25+, but perhaps provides 80% similar experience. The display 1080p+ non -Ltpo panel and exynos is faster than 2400e tensor, although Snapdragon is not as fast as it is and everything else is the same.
