AI is causing phone prices to go up, but you can beat the RAM crisis with this powerfully underrated Galaxy phone

Samsung is offering significant Prime Day discounts on the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S26 Plus as consumers navigate rising smartphone costs driven by the ongoing global RAM crisis.

Key Points

  • The Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus is currently discounted by 34%, bringing the price down to $664 from its original $999 launch cost.
  • The newer Galaxy S26 Plus, which launched at $1,099, is now available for as low as $759 during the Prime Day sale.
  • The Galaxy S25 Plus features a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 50MP primary camera sensor.
  • Both models continue to receive software support, including One UI 8.5 features, AI editing tools, and ongoing security updates from Samsung.
  • Rising smartphone prices in 2026 are largely attributed to industry-wide resource reallocation toward building data centers for artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Why it Matters

These discounts provide a cost-effective alternative for consumers facing inflated hardware prices caused by the current RAM supply shortage. By choosing previous-generation models, users can access high-end AI features and robust performance without paying the premium associated with the latest flagship releases.
