Samsung Galaxy S25 (128GB): eBay vs Amazon price

About the Samsung Galaxy S25 (128GB)

The Galaxy S25 is the smallest phone in Samsung's 2025 flagship line. It has a 6.2-inch AMOLED display, 12GB of RAM and the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip in every US model. Samsung promises seven years of Android and security updates, which gives a used S25 more runway than older Android phones usually get.

Samsung discounts its phones often, and Amazon carries the unlocked US version, so the new price can swing a lot around sales events. Used S25 listings on eBay come mostly from people moving to a newer model or to the Ultra. Expect a steady supply of carrier-branded units, and expect them to sell for less than unlocked ones in similar shape.

Where the savings are

Check Amazon's sale price on the unlocked US model before settling on a used one, since the gap can shrink during big sales. On eBay, look at the model number: SM-S931U1 is the unlocked US version and SM-S931U is carrier-branded. International models may lack some US bands and warranty coverage. Screen burn-in and a scratched frame hurt resale value more than a light scuff on the back.
