Good news, Samsung fans! The Samsung Galaxy S25 range is now available in Australia, with the latest phones sporting One UI7, the Now Bar and some awesome new AI-powered features. We’ve rounded up the best deals on the Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus on this page, but we’ve also got an article on the best Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra plans in Australia if you’re interested in the top device.

If you're still making your mind up, read our Samsung Galaxy S25 review and our Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus review.

Prices for the base model Samsung Galaxy S25 start at AU$1,399, while the S25 Plus begins at AU$1,699. Both phones are available with 256GB and 512GB storage options.

The Australian S25 range has launched with a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip in each model, marking the first time the standard Galaxy S and Galaxy S Plus models have launched with the same chip as their Ultra counterpart Down Under (previously, there was a different ‘International’ chip to the Snapdragon chip used in the American and Chinese models).

So if you’re looking to upgrade to a Samsung Galaxy S25, now’s the time. Here are the best Samsung Galaxy S25 plans.

Best Samsung Galaxy S25 plan: our pick

Vodafone: Samsung Galaxy S25 256GB | 100GB data (50GB bonus) | 24 months | AU$77.07 per month

Vodafone offers the cheapest postpaid plan of the big three telcos, so if you want big data from a major carrier, this Galaxy S24 bundle is your best bet. The telco has added an AU$10.42 per month discount to the phone, and for the cheapest selected plan, you'll only pay AU$29.20 per month for the duration of the repayment – after which it switches to the standard price of AU$49 per month. For a limited time, customers also get 3 months of BINGE included (ends March 31), along with 50GB bonus data for as long as you stay connected.

Minimum cost: AU$1,417.74 | Minimum cost over 24 months: AU$1,849.68

Optus: Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus 256GB | 360GB data | 24 months | AU$129.33 per month (for 12 months, then AU$139.33)

Moving over to our pick for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, Optus is offering this device with a AU$250.56 discount on your 24 month or 36 month repayment (12 month repayments aren't eligible). Combining this with the telco's ‘promo’ plan with 360GB data for AU$69 per month (for the first 12 months, then AU$79 per month) and you're getting some serious value on a plan and phone combo. This plan also comes with a AU$10 per month credit that can be applied to an eligible subscription service of your choice over the course of 12 months. It’s an attractive plan for an on-the-go streaming service lover.

Minimum cost: AU$1,757.04 | Minimum cost over 24 months: AU$3,223.92

What’s new with the Samsung Galaxy S25?

New AI features
New UI
Upgraded CPU
Teased 'Edge' model

Samsung’s 2025 range of Galaxy S devices didn’t include sweeping hardware upgrades and monumental changes to the software, but there were some things of note. In the Australian market, the S25 and S25 Plus are receiving the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (changed over from an Exynos chip), the same processor inside the S25 Ultra.

Each phone, as usual, is IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, packing a gorilla glass panel and an AMOLED 2x display. Each phone supports fast charging (offering a 0-50% charge in 30 minutes) and up to 15W wireless charging with QC2.0 compatibility.

On the software-side, AI is once again leading the show. A new AI feature called Now Brief gives you a quick, AI-generated rundown on a bunch of selected points, such as news, travel time, weather and calendar plans. There’s also the new Now Bar, which offers dynamic, live updates at the bottom of the lock screen on all kinds of things, from sports to weather alerts.

AI-powered search across the phone has also been upgraded with wider app support, making it easier to find specific photos and files. There’s also a handy new group photo feature that takes a burst of shots and allows you to apply the best faces and a handy audio eraser tool for cutting out unwanted noises from videos.

Finally, Samsung also teased a slim model called the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, but we're still getting in details on this phone.
