The Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus should be two of the best and most exciting phones of the year — but I barely care about them.

When you trade in your old phone with T-Mobile, you'll get it for free. New and existing customers can swap an old device in any condition for a new Galaxy S25+ for free, or use the credit for up to $1,000 off other models like the top-of-the-line Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (delivered as 24 monthly credits on your bill).

Whether you’re looking for top performance or a budget-friendly device, the best Samsung phones are packed with impressive AI. After testing, here are my top picks.
