The 256 GB Galaxy S25 Ultra sells for DZD 170,000 to 238,000 on our comparison. Across all capacities, the 29 active listings reach DZD 282,900, with a median of DZD 191,900. That is a DZD 112,900 spread between the cheapest and the most expensive offer on a phone launched in February 2025.
The median hides a simple situation. Most listings sit between DZD 180,000 and DZD 200,000. Offers above DZD 220,000 are not representative of the market, even though they exist. An informed buyer has no reason to pay the top of the range.
What the 29 listings show
| Capacity | Listings | Lowest price | Median | Highest price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 256 GB | 11 | DZD 170,000 | DZD 185,000 | DZD 238,000 |
| 512 GB | 1 | DZD 182,000 | DZD 182,000 | DZD 182,000 |
| 1 TB | 2 | DZD 200,000 | DZD 205,000 | DZD 210,000 |
Survey of November 9, 2026, excluding out-of-stock listings. Current prices are in the comparison tool.
The 512 GB at DZD 182,000 is the most interesting anomaly in the survey. It is offered at the price of the 256 GB while doubling the storage. If the listing is real, it is the best offer on the list. The 1 TB sells for DZD 200,000 to DZD 210,000, which remains coherent for a 2025 flagship.
Why the top of the range does not hold
A seller at DZD 282,900 is not selling a different phone. It is the same S25 Ultra, with the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and the same screen. The difference comes from provenance, warranty and sometimes a bundle: charger, case, memory card or insurance added to the price.
Those accessories are rarely worth DZD 80,000. A 45 W charger costs a few thousand dinars, a decent case less than DZD 3,000. If the seller will not break down what the price includes, the offer cannot be compared with the others.
Warranty deserves a separate discussion. An imported S25 Ultra without an invoice in your name can be repaired, but not always under Samsung Algeria's warranty. Ask for the name of the approved repairer and the exact length of cover. A three-month shop warranty is not the same as two years of manufacturer cover.
The ceiling to remember: DZD 195,000
Below DZD 180,000, the 256 GB S25 Ultra is a very good deal. Between DZD 180,000 and DZD 195,000, the price is right for a sealed device with an invoice. Above DZD 195,000, internal competition becomes too strong.
The 256 GB Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at DZD 187,000 in one listing, with a median of DZD 230,000. At DZD 195,000, the S25 Ultra remains below the S26 Ultra median, but it has no comfortable margin left. At DZD 220,000, you should seriously consider the S26 Ultra, the iPhone 16 Pro Max at DZD 209,000 or the Xiaomi 15 Ultra at DZD 142,000.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
12GB RAM · 256GB · 6.86 · AMOLED Dynamic LTPO Amoled 2X
The sensible ceiling is DZD 195,000 for a 256 GB. For a 512 GB, DZD 210,000 remains defensible. For a 1 TB, DZD 220,000 maximum. Above that, you are paying for local scarcity, not for the value of the phone.

The S25 Ultra remains Samsung's most complete phone before the S26 Ultra. Its screen is bright, its 5x zoom is excellent, and the S Pen is still useful for notes or signing documents. The Snapdragon 8 Elite handles recent games without excessive heat.
Two details matter before buying. The included S Pen no longer uses Bluetooth: it writes and navigates, but it cannot trigger the camera from a distance. And the charger is not in the box. Budget DZD 3,000 to DZD 5,000 for a compatible 45 W brick.
Why the 512 GB makes more sense
The 256 GB is enough for ordinary use, but the S25 Ultra shoots 8K video and produces 200 MP photos. Those files take space. If you film regularly or keep photos on the device, the 512 GB is more comfortable.
At DZD 182,000, the observed 512 GB offer is better than the 256 GB median. That is rare, and it justifies checking the listing immediately. Ask for the capacity shown in Android, the exact model number and a photo of the box. A serious seller will provide them without hesitation.
Before you pay
Check that the phone is really an S25 Ultra and not an S25 Plus presented as the Ultra. The difference is visible in the stylus and the camera module. The S25 Ultra has four rear sensors and a slot for the S Pen. The S25 Plus has no stylus.
Check the IMEI, battery health and the presence of the S Pen. A missing stylus costs more than it seems, especially if you plan to use it. Ask whether the phone is single-SIM or dual-SIM. Imported versions do not always offer the same combinations.
Finally, test the screen under white light. Deep scratches and dead pixels are easier to see than in a shop. A replacement AMOLED screen costs tens of thousands of dinars, which can wipe out the saving from a good deal.
Verdict
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is an excellent buy under DZD 195,000. Its screen, zoom and seven years of updates make it a durable flagship. At DZD 170,000, it is the best value in the category, provided you check the warranty.
Above DZD 210,000, the logic changes. The S26 Ultra is close, the iPhone 16 Pro Max starts at DZD 209,000 and the Xiaomi 15 Ultra drops to DZD 142,000. The S25 Ultra is still a very good phone. You should simply stop paying for it as if it had just launched.
