Samsung Galaxy S25 Series South Korean Pricing Revealed: 512GB Models See Slight Price Increase, 256GB Models Remain Unchanged

South Korean media outlet FNNews recently reported that Samsung has finalized the pricing of the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra in the South Korean market. According to the report, the 256GB models will maintain the same price as the Galaxy S24 series, while the 512GB models will see a slight increase. This news has generated significant attention, with consumers and industry experts closely analyzing Samsung's pricing strategy.

IT House compiled the following pricing information (in South Korean Won and approximate Chinese Yuan equivalents based on current exchange rates. Actual prices may vary):

| Model | 256GB (KRW) | 256GB (CNY) | 512GB (KRW) | 512GB (CNY) |

|--------------|----------------|-----------------|----------------|-----------------|

| Galaxy S25 | 1,155,000 | 5,807 | 1,313,400 | 6,604 |

| Galaxy S25+ | 1,353,000 | 6,803 | 1,511,400 | 7,599 |

| Galaxy S25 Ultra| 1,698,400 | 8,540 | 1,856,800 | 9,336 |

Compared to the Galaxy S24 series, the 512GB versions of the Galaxy S25 series have seen a small price increase. Specifically, the Galaxy S25 512GB is approximately KRW 25,400 (CNY 128) more expensive than its S24 counterpart; the Galaxy S25+ 512GB is about KRW 15,400 (CNY 77.4) more; and the Galaxy S25 Ultra 512GB is also about KRW 15,400 (CNY 77.4) more expensive.

While the price of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor has increased by 20%, and other component prices have also generally risen, coupled with the weakening of the South Korean Won against the US dollar, Samsung's manufacturing costs have increased. However, Samsung has chosen to absorb some of these increased costs, not passing them all onto consumers. This move is noteworthy and may be related to Samsung's promotion of its Galaxy AI features. By controlling the price increase, Samsung may be aiming to attract more users to its new flagship phones, thus boosting the adoption and usage of Galaxy AI.

This pricing strategy also reflects Samsung's competitive market position. Although prices have increased slightly, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series remains competitively priced compared to other flagship phones. This likely represents a calculated balance between cost and market competitiveness.

It's worth noting that IT House also found another report on the pricing of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, but due to the questionable reliability of the source, this information is not included in this report. We will continue to monitor for updates and provide timely reports.

The pricing strategy for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series appears cautious, considering both rising costs and the competitive market environment. Maintaining the price of the 256GB models while only slightly increasing the price of the 512GB models demonstrates Samsung's desire to maintain product competitiveness while controlling the final price to boost sales and ultimately promote its Galaxy AI ecosystem. This might suggest a long-term vision aimed at building a robust ecosystem for more sustainable profitability.

The market performance of the Galaxy S25 series will directly impact Samsung's position in the high-end smartphone market and serve as a benchmark for other manufacturers. Consumers will make purchasing decisions based on their individual needs and budgets.

Samsung's approach is commendable and offers a lesson for other phone manufacturers: product pricing requires considering various factors, including costs, market competition, and consumer acceptance, to find a balance for long-term success. Samsung's absorption of some cost increases reflects confidence in its products and future ecosystem development, representing a positive signal for consumers, indicating a commitment to high-quality products and services.

In conclusion, the announcement of the South Korean pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series provides insight into high-end smartphone pricing trends. We will continue to monitor the market performance of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series and provide further analysis. We also look forward to Samsung continuing to deliver innovation and surprises to consumers. The pricing strategy reflects Samsung's deep understanding of the market and consumer needs, as well as its long-term vision for its brand and product development.
