The verified listing for this page is the Samsung Galaxy S25+. The variant is Navy, 256 GB. Confirm the live title says Samsung Galaxy S25+.
The Galaxy S25+ is the large phone in Samsung’s 2025 flagship pair, one step under the Ultra and a full size up from the standard S25. Black Friday search results treat “S25” as a family name. Shoppers who wanted the Plus then receive the smaller phone, the Ultra, or last year’s S24+. The plus sign has to survive every click. It is the difference between a 6.2-inch phone and a 6.7-inch phone, and between a 4,000 mAh battery and a 4,900 mAh battery.
The S25+ uses a 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. In the US it runs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy with 12GB of RAM. Storage is 256GB or 512GB. There is no microSD slot. The body is IP68 and uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2. IP68 is a lab rating with depth and time limits. It is not pool clearance. The model code family for the Plus is SM-S936, and the unlocked US variant shoppers usually want is the S936U class. An international dual-SIM unit can work and still complicate warranty service.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus Black Friday Deals 2026: how it differs from the S25
The camera stack matches the standard S25 in layout: a 50-megapixel main, a 10-megapixel 3x telephoto, and a 12-megapixel ultrawide, with a 12-megapixel front camera. You are not choosing the Plus for a longer optical zoom. You are choosing the larger, sharper QHD panel, the 4,900 mAh cell, and a body that is easier to read on and harder to pocket. If you liked the S24+ size and want the newer chip, this is the matching shape. If you wanted a phone that disappears in a jacket, the standard S25 is the one to open instead, on purpose. Listings that paste Ultra camera claims onto a Plus title, including a 200-megapixel sensor or an S Pen, have switched phones. The Ultra has the pen. The Plus does not.
Charging is the other place bundles get sloppy. Samsung often sells the fast wall charger separately. A photo of a brick next to the phone is not a contents list. Wireless charging is supported. A wireless pad in a “Black Friday kit” is an accessory. Add it only if you do not own one. The same goes for earbuds and for a case. Cases for the S25+ do not fit the S25 or the Ultra. A case without a model name is a guess.
Galaxy AI tools ship on this line: editing, translation help, and the search gestures Samsung has been building into recent flagships. Several need a Samsung account and a connection. They are not a weekend-only feature, and they are not proof that a vague listing is an S25+. Last year’s S24+ has its own AI feature set and a different chip. If the title says S25+ and the model code says S926, you are looking at the previous Plus.
Colors are marketing words that retailers shorten. Navy, silver, and the blue-green finishes do not share one model number. Match the word in the title to the photo and, when you can, to the model code. Carrier-locked versions, renewed versions, and unlocked versions will all say S25+ in a grid. They are not one price. A carrier deal that shows a tiny monthly number usually needs a trade-in, a new line, and bill credits over a long term. If you cancel early, the remaining credits often stop. Add only the credits you will actually receive.
Renewed phones and trade-ins
A renewed S25+ can be a reasonable way into the same hardware when battery health and the cosmetic grade are written down. It is not “new, but seasonal.” Test the display for spots, test both cameras, test the port, and read the model code in settings the day it arrives. Activation on your own line is part of that test. A phone that cannot be activated is a return, not a project.
Trade-in quotes depend on the device you send. Cracks and battery wear change the number after you ship the old phone. If the Plus only wins the comparison when the trade-in is perfect, and your old phone is not, drop the trade-in out of the math and look again. Sometimes the unlocked phone without a promo is the cleaner Black Friday purchase.
Black Friday buying advice
Write one line and stick to it: Galaxy S25+, unlocked US S936 class if you need that warranty path, storage, color, new or renewed. Do not compare that line with a base S25 or an S24+ until you have decided you are willing to change size or generation. Both of those phones can be rational. They are rational only as a decision, not as a sorting accident.
Choose the seller with the same care as the storage. Sold by Samsung or by a major retailer is easier to unwind in December than a storefront that appeared for the holiday. Read the return window. Open the box early. Black Friday queues make the second week slower.
Use the live price on the finished configuration. Storage changes it. Color sometimes changes it when one finish is overstocked. A guide should not pretend one number covers all of those carts. Read the delivery date on your cart as well. The popular color is the one that slips from Friday to the following week.
The Galaxy S25+ is the 6.7-inch QHD phone in this generation, with the 4,900 mAh battery, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, a 3x telephoto, and 256GB to start. Black Friday 2026 is a sound time to buy it if the plus sign, the model code, and the condition all match. Check the live price after that, and leave the Ultra’s S Pen claims on the Ultra’s page.
