Samsung Skips Carrier Availability for Galaxy S25 Ultra 1TB Model in the US

Samsung has already started shipping the preorder Galaxy S25 Ultra devices from February 7. And at the same time, the company has also officially made the device available in offline stores through IGGS outlets and carrier partners. However, for some reason, the maximum storage variant of the Galaxy S25 Ultra isn’t available for the users who purchase it from the carrier’s stores.
It is worth noting that the Galaxy S25 Ultra is officially available in four storage variants: 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 12GB+1TB, and 16GB+1TB. Here, the 1TB variant is only available in the US with the unlocked variants. If you choose the carrier-locked variant, you need to choose the lower storage variant.
Due to the lack of Micro SD support, users who want to buy the Galaxy S25 Ultra will only go for the larger storage variant because any media files created on the devices need more storage.
If you go with the lower storage variant, it could be full within a few months, and to handle it, you have only a few options, such as a USB-C flash drive or cloud storage.
In conclusion, if you want to stay away from the low storage variant for a longer time, the 1 TB storage purchase will be a smarter decision. As far as the cost is concerned, the 1TB variant costs $1419 without any offers for a limited time, but if you trade in your eligible device, then you can have available benefits up to $1659.
