This MVNO makes unwrapping a Galaxy S25 way easier this Christmas

'Tis the holiday season — and one MVNO is making Galaxy S25 upgrades easier than ever just in time for Christmas. Mint Mobile’s limited-time offer slashes $450 off all Samsung flagships. The offer includes the “vanilla” Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25+, the Galaxy S25 Edge, and even the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Sweetening the pot

Some users might hesitate to upgrade through a carrier, but Mint offers a perk that could make them change their minds. Beyond the generous price cut, the T-Mobile-owned MVNO slashes 50% off 12-month unlimited data plans. That includes:

• 5G and 4G coverage on the nation’s largest network
• Unlimited text and data
• Up to 20GB/mo of mobile hotspot
• Video streaming at around 480p
• Free calls to the UK, Canada, and Mexico

Even though it’s an unlimited data plan, Mint points out that customers who use more than 35GB/mo of data will experience slower speeds.

Typically, users would have to pay $300 for this one-year plan, but right now, it’s going for only $180, paid upfront. Users also get to pick between an eSIM and a physical SIM for added convenience.

Device protection plans, provided by Allstate, are also available at $79 for 12 months. It includes coverage for liquid damage, cracked screens, accidental damage, and more. Moreover, users get 24/7 access to filing claims.

Galaxy S25 family: which one to consider?

Now, that’s a tough question — each has its own merits. Here’s how I’d approach it:

• The Galaxy S25 is the one for you if you want a compact, Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered device without spending a small fortune.
• Galaxy S25+: perfect for users seeking a near-Ultra experience at a non-Ultra price. It boasts a 6.7-inch OLED display, a highly capable camera setup, and superb performance.
• Grab the Galaxy S25 Ultra if you’re after the supreme experience. Although pricier, this model checks all the boxes — including a premium, built-in anti-reflective display coating.
• Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge could be ideal for users who value slimness and flagship-grade performance.

Flagship devices, affordable prices

$450 off all four high-end Android phones sounds like the ideal holiday offer. But how much do they actually cost? The Galaxy S25 would normally cost you $980 with a one-year unlimited data plan, but it’s now down to only $530. Samsung’s Galaxy S25+ can be yours for $730 instead of a hefty $1,180. The S25 Edge will now cost you just a $100 more ($830), with an included 1-year unlimited plan by Mint.

What about the mightiest (and most expensive) of all Samsung flagships? The Galaxy S25 Ultra is going for $1,080 with Mint Mobile’s limited-time sale.
