Samsung S25 Ultra - best time of the year to buy their latest phones

I'm interested in buying the S25 ultra which will be out early next year. I tend to buy phones outright which isn't cheap. I'll be using a trade in which will give £300 off. Based on history is it better to buy it on pre launch and get the bundles or wait for Easter etc. Thanks

    The 24 Ultra was £1089.99 at launch and the cheapest point so far was at the beginning of July when it was £776.

    At easter time it was still the full price, it wasn't until May it dropped and was still in the £950 range.

    the best deals this year were on the  flip s6 at launch with excellent tradins of £300 on any phone and 150 pounds off as well and 5% if you used the app for the first tme.

    The Z Flip6? Trade-in was £100 for any phone, £200 for my A52. To get £300 you had to trade in another Flip or a recent S2n.

    Also had £100 off, 10% off and 5% off and another discount for somethingorother. Got a total of ~£450 off the full (pre-launch) price.
