Samsung’s recent promotion for the Galaxy S25 Ultra has generated excitement in many markets, with offers showcasing potential savings of up to $1,200. By trading in an eligible device, customers can enjoy up to $900 off, plus an additional $300 in Samsung Credits, making it an attractive deal for tech enthusiasts.https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-s25-ultra/offers/ However, for consumers in Zimbabwe, such promotions feel like a distant dream.
Imagine wanting the latest flagship phone, only to be met with the disheartening message: “This offer is not available in your area.” For many Zimbabweans, this sentiment is all too familiar. While the Galaxy S25 Ultra is heralded as one of the best phones on the market, offering unparalleled performance, incredible camera capabilities, and a stunning display, the reality is that many potential buyers are left out in the cold.
In Zimbabwe, promotional deals akin to Samsung’s are a rarity. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is priced around $1,350, a competitive figure compared to the $1,300 price tag in other regions, especially when factoring in shipping and taxes. Yet, this price point represents a significant investment for many consumers. Without substantial trade-in offers or manufacturer credits, Zimbabwean buyers are often left paying full retail price, making the latest technology less accessible.
The frustration is palpable. As one consumer pointed out, their current phone wouldn’t be valued at $900 in a trade-in, and selling it privately would be more lucrative despite the inconvenience. The reality is that in Zimbabwe, it often comes down to “full retail price or nothing at all.”
While Samsung’s promotions continue to dazzle other markets, the hope remains that Zimbabwe will eventually see its own trade-in deals that make acquiring the latest devices more feasible for consumers. Until then, the dream of owning the Galaxy S25 Ultra at an accessible price remains just thata dream.
