How to choose the best Galaxy S25 Ultra plan for you

The Galaxy S25 family is available now. If you're looking at Samsung's 2025 phones, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the crown jewel. It has a curvier redesign, a larger screen with smaller bezels, a fast new processor, and still comes with the classic S Pen.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra plans

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is available on mobile plans from Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone. The three providers all offer the choice of 24-month and 36-month repayments. A 24-month term means you own your Galaxy S25 Ultra faster, while a 36-month term results in a cheaper monthly bill.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review: A familiar affair

The Galaxy S25 Ultra prioritises new AI features over hardware upgrades, making it less exciting than it could be. What's on offer is still great, but it's a familiar affair that falls behind the competition at times. Read our review.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra features

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is a modest upgrade from a hardware perspective. The two main changes are the new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a new 50MP ultra-wide lens. Instead, Samsung has focused on expanding the Galaxy AI feature set.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra AI

As with the entire Galaxy S25 family, the Galaxy S25 Ultra features Galaxy AI. Galaxy AI was first introduced last year with the Galaxy S24 series, but was also rolled out to older devices like the Galaxy S23 family.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra naturally gets existing Galaxy AI features - including live two-way translation, writing tools, summaries, and AI photo editing - but there's also new functionality. This includes:

Proactive briefs at the start and end of each day, giving you information like weather, sleep data, and your calendar
Call recording with automatic transcription
The ability for the virtual assistant to complete multi-step tasks with one command. Samsung gave the example of "find vegan pet-friendly restaurants, and then send the list to Dave")
Natural language search in the Samsung Gallery app and the Settings app
Improvements to Circle to Search that let it identify audio playing, in addition to what's on the screen
An audio eraser for removing unwanted noise in videos

Some Galaxy AI features, such as photo editing, require an internet connection. Others, such as live translate, are done entirely on the phone.

Some of the new Galaxy AI features will eventually become available on older devices like the Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S25 family will be able to execute AI tasks faster, however.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra design

The Galaxy S25 family all look pretty similar to last year's models, with some minor changes. The Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus are dead ringers for their predecessors, still featuring a 6.2-inch and 6.7-inch display, respectively. Both are a little bit lighter, however.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra has a slightly larger 6.9-inch display, up from 6.8-inch on the Galaxy S24 Ultra last year. Samsung has also shrunk the bezel surrounding the screen, and reduced the weight. While the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a boxy design, Samsung has made the Galaxy S25 Ultra bit curvier, bringing it line with the rest of the family. It still comes with an integrated S Pen.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra camera

The main camera upgrade on the Galaxy S25 Ultra is a new higher resolution 50MP ultra-wide lens, replacing the 12MP seen on last year's model. This is joined by a 200MP primary lens, 10MP 3x zoom lens, 50MP 5x zoom lens, and 12MP selfie camera.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra battery

The Galaxy S25 Ultra has a 5,000mAh battery, just like the Galaxy S24 Ultra. In our testing, we were comfortably able to achieve at least six hours of screen time per charge. That's more than enough for a full day of moderate usage with a solid buffer at the end of the day.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra processor

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The variant found in the phone is specifically optimised for Samsung devices. Samsung says the Snapdragon 8 Elite offers 37% faster processing than the Galaxy S24 Ultra and 30% faster graphics.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 5G

The Galaxy S25 Ultra naturally has 5G connectivity, but variants sold in Australia don't support mmWave 5G. mmWave is a faster type of 5G that telcos have slowly been rolling out, but very few devices support it locally.

WhistleOut's coverage checker tool has 5G coverage maps, making it easy to see whether you can get 5G. All you need to do is pop in your address when searching for a new phone plan. After you've done so and hit Search, you can jump straight to the coverage map by tapping See Coverage Map and then tapping Click To Activate Interactive Map.

This map will show you what kind of coverage you have in your area. 5G coverage is highlighted using the darkest shade of purple, but unticking 4G and 3G can help make it clearer. The drop-down menu lets you choose between telcos.

Coverage maps are only approximate, only show outdoor coverage, and may be impacted by local conditions such as buildings.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra plan providers

Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone are all ranging the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Here's a breakdown of the major benefits you can expect each provider to offer.

Telstra Galaxy S25 Ultra plans

Widest 5G coverage in Australia
Access to the Telstra Plus perks and rewards program

Telstra plans

Telstra Galaxy plans are often the priciest on the Australian market, but they do come with a host of perks.

Telstra lets you pay your Galaxy off over 12, 24, or 36 months, and all plans are free from excess data charges. If you go over your cap, your data will simply be slowed to speeds of 1.5Mbps, which is still fast enough to stream video in SD. But speeds may be slower during peak times.

Optus Galaxy S25 Ultra plans

Discounted streaming services through SubHub
$5 for 5GB of roaming data when overseas

Optus plans

Optus Galaxy plans come with solid data inclusions.

Higher-end Optus plans also come with unlimited international calls to selected destinations included with the plan.

All Optus plans are contract-free, and devices can be paid off across 12, 24, or 36 months.

In addition, all Optus postpaid plans are free from excess data charges. If you go over your allowance, you'll be slowed to 1.5Mbps rather than being billed $10 per gigabyte.

Vodafone Galaxy S25 Ultra plans

Bundling options
Access to Vodafone's famous $5 roaming

Vodafone plans

Vodafone Galaxy plans may not come with the kinds of freebies and perks you can get from Optus or Telstra, but they have bonuses when it comes to bundling.

If you have a Vodafone mobile plan, you can get most of the telco's internet plans - NBN, 5G home internet, and 4G home internet - at a discounted rate.

Vodafone customers also save 5% on their total mobile bill for each postpaid mobile plan on their account after the first. This discount maxes out at 20% and doesn't include handset repayments.

Vodafone postpaid plans are all free from excess data charges. When you go over your plan allowance, you'll be capped at 2Mbps.

You'll also get access to Vodafone's $5 roaming, which is still easily the best way to travel with your Australian phone number.

How to choose the best Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra plan for you

There are a few key factors to keep in mind when picking a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra plan:

Answering "how much mobile data do I use" can help you avoid overspending. Don't pay for more data than you need
Decide whether you want to pay off your phone shorter on a 24-month plan or get a smaller bill over a longer period of time on a 36-month plan
If you're a frequent overseas traveller consider any international roaming inclusions
You may also want to make international phone calls so check if the destinations you may be calling are included in your plan
