Three hundred and fifty dollars is not a rounding error. It is the difference between the Galaxy S25 Edge at its comparable value of $1,099.99 and the $749.99 Best Buy is charging in the US right now for the unlocked 256GB model in Titanium Jet Black. That is the largest cut in this set of US price checks, and it changes how the phone should be judged. The price was checked on Best Buy’s US listing on 4 November 2026.
Verdict: a thin flagship that only makes sense at this price
The Edge was built around one idea: a big phone that does not feel like one. Best Buy’s specification list puts a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen at 120Hz in a body 0.23 inches thick, with a titanium frame and an IP68 rating. The camera set is led by a 200-megapixel main camera with a 12-megapixel ultrawide, and the processor is a Snapdragon 8 Elite with 12GB of RAM. That is a proper flagship core, and at $749.99 it is priced like a phone a step below the top tier, which is exactly where it becomes interesting. CompareIdea does not hands-on test phones, so this verdict comes from those published US specifications and the verified US price, not from carrying the phone for a week. The trade that comes with the thin body is on the same list: a 3,900mAh battery, which is smaller than the batteries in thicker Samsung flagships, no dedicated telephoto lens — the camera set is the main camera and the ultrawide only, so distant zoom is the missing piece — and no microSD slot, so the 256GB in this listing is what you get. At $1,099.99, those trade-offs were hard to swallow. At $749.99, they read differently. This is the right buy for a US buyer who wants a large, light, unlocked phone with a high-resolution main camera and who can live with a smaller battery and fixed storage. It is not the right buy for someone who needs the longest battery life above all else, and no discount changes that priority.
What the US listing shows
Best Buy lists the unlocked model, SKU 6624970, model SM-S937UZKAXAA, in Titanium Jet Black with 256GB of built-in storage. The screen reaches 2,600 nits on the specification list, video is listed at 8K at 30 frames per second, and the front camera is 12 megapixels. It supports Wi-Fi 7, charges at 25 watts wired and 15 watts wireless, and runs Android 15 on that list. The listing marks it as a Holiday Deal, with a $350 saving against the comparable value. As with the other stories here, this is a current US price check, not a launch, and the phone is already on sale in the US.
