If you're shopping for your next Android flagship, you'll quickly narrow it down to two heavyweights: the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL or the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Pixel offers a clean, stock Android experience and benefits from Google's camera-first tuning. The Galaxy, meanwhile, brings veteran polish: a feature-rich One UI, full S Pen support, and an all-around balanced package.
Take the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, for example. Samsung US is offering a $560 discount with no extra requirements - and you get double the storage for free! That brings the regular price for the 12GB/512GB model down to $860. However, if you qualify for the program, you can get an additional $153 off, so the price drops to $707.
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
