THE Galaxy S25 Ultra would be on the way in January, but the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra remains one of the best phones you can buy right now. With top-of-the-line performance and camera quality that can rival its biggest competitors. The only problem is that it’s quite expensive, but thanks to the first Black Friday deals you can enjoy a lower price.

You can now recover the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra at $1,049 more on the Samsung store. That means you save $250 off the usual price, and more than makes up for the fact that the S24 Ultra was $100 more than the S23 Ultra. Samsung is also offering up to $800 off any qualified trade-in, if you have an older phone that you want to get rid of.

There are many reasons to love Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultrathat’s why it’s our current choice for the best android phone and one of best smartphones you can buy in the set – just behind the iPhone 16 Pro Max. No matter what you want to use your phone for, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has you covered.

Performance is handled by the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. The custom chip is exclusive to the Galaxy S24 series and offers significantly higher performance than other phones can get with the standard Gen 3 chipset. This is great for gaming, and the increased efficiency of the chip allows the battery to last much longer than older Galaxy flagships. 16 hours and 45 minutes in our battery life tests.

The S24 Ultra also comes with an impressive 6.8-inch OLED display, featuring QHD+ resolution and an adaptive refresh rate. On the back, you have a 200 MP primary camera, paired with a 50 MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, a 12 MP ultra-wide shooter, and a secondary 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Combined with Samsung’s camera software and AI features, the S24 Ultra can produce some of the best photos and videos of any phone on sale today.

Other features worth noting include the ever-improving suite of Galaxy AI features – which include real-time translation and photo editing – as well as the S Pen. The only thing that let the phone down was its price, and with $250 off, that will sting a little less.
