Your local AT&T may already be selling the Galaxy S25, despite a February 7 release date (Update)

Update, January 31, 2025 (4:10 PM ET): Samsung reached out to Android Authority to clarify that it is still standing by its February 7 release date for the Galaxy S25 series. Pre-orders are still open for the phones.

Original article, January 31, 2025 (10:49 AM ET): Early this morning a report claimed AT&T might be selling the Galaxy S25 series a week early, starting today. According to The Mobile Report, this was based on an alleged email, but AT&T’s own site still said it was coming on February 7, which is the date Samsung announced when retail availability would begin. I decided to stop by my local AT&T store to see if there was anything to this story. Short answer: Yes, it sounds like this is really happening.

I walked in and asked the salesperson if they knew “when AT&T would carry the Galaxy S25” without hinting that I was aware of the rumors. His response was, “Very soon.” I prodded a bit further, and he admitted sales start immediately for AT&T stores that get their shipments today or for those that already have them. The store in question didn’t have stock yet, but the salesperson said it might arrive as soon as today.

Keep in mind this all comes from what I heard in a third-party store and not an official AT&T confirmation, but I’d say it sounds like a safe bet that at least some AT&T stores will offer stock starting today. We’ve reached out to an AT&T rep directly and will update this post when we hear more.

As for how much the Galaxy S25 will cost you via AT&T? The base configurations will set you back $799.99 for the Galaxy S25, $999.99 for the Galaxy S25 Plus, and $1,299.99 for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. You can also qualify for a free Galaxy S25 on select AT&T plans for both new and existing customers.
