Samsung's Galaxy smartphone line has produced

some of our favorite handsets and the recently launched Galaxy S24 series is no different. Equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processors and stunning displays, the S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra are among the best Android phones you can buy in 2024. However, the cheapest model in the S24 series costs $800, so you'll probably want to find discounts and deals to help take some of that burden off your wallet. Luckily, we've done all the work for you, and put together a list of the best S24 deals available right now below.

There are really two types of deals when it comes to smartphones:

instant discounts, which are usually offered by manufacturers and their retail partners, and carrier promotions. The former is virtually headache-free, and is more geared toward those who want to buy the phone outright. The latter can offer massive savings, but will require some mix of upgrading, device trade-in, new line activation and a long-term commitment to a wireless provider.

Currently, the best instant discounts are offered by Samsung,

who will give you up to $100 in free instant Samsung credit on select S24 models, and Best Buy, who will take up to $150 off your phone purchase—no trade-in or same-day activation required. And in terms of carrier deals, both AT&T and Verizon are willing to offer up to $1,000 off the price of your S24 handset with a trade-in and 36-month installment plan. The bottom line is, there are plenty of deals on Samsung's latest flagship phones right now.

What is the price of the Galaxy S24 series?

All three models of the Samsung Galaxy S24 have quite a few price tags. Below are all prices for the base model here in the US

Samsung Galaxy S24: Starting at $800 (8GB RAM, 128GB)

Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus: Starting at $1,000 (12GB RAM, 256GB)

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: Starting at $1,300 (12GB RAM, 256GB)

The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ ?

retain the same starting prices as last year's phones, but the S24 Ultra's starting price has increased by $100. The titanium body is probably a key reason for that price hike, but it also pushes the Ultra into roughly the same spot as many of the best Galaxy Z Fold 5 deals in terms of price, which is pretty amazing.

Of course, all phones become more expensive ?

if you add more storage or RAM to the equation. The Galaxy S24 can be upgraded to a 256GB storage and 12GB RAM model, the Galaxy S24+ has 12GB RAM in all models but comes with the option of 512GB storage if you want to pay more. The S24 Ultra has 512GB and 1TB internal storage options. You can upgrade if you like.

Is the Galaxy S24 series worth upgrading?

With all these great trade-in deals happening right now, you might be wondering if it's worth swapping your Galaxy S23 for a new model. After all, how much can a phone change in a year?In our hands-on preview with the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ models, we didn't notice any significant changes that would make the phone an absolute must-have for anyone holding a Galaxy S23 or S23+. However, due to the nature of AT&T and Verizon's trade-in deals, anyone trading in any Galaxy phone in any condition offering a free upgrade may be too good to pass up. Of course, if you don't like these carriers, Samsung's trade-in offers are a great way to save a good chunk of the upfront cost.
