Buying advice for Algeria

Both Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is 5% cheaper at 122,000 DZD versus 128,000 DZD for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra packs a 5000 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.

Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
