Samsung just dropped its Discover Spring Sale with astounding tech deals across the board, including one of its top-of-the-line phones — the Galaxy S24.
The Discover Samsung sales event slashes $60 off its retail price, but trading in your current device will gift you up to between $550 and $800 in credit depending on if it’s an unlocked phone or part of a carrier. Normally $859.99, you can get the phone for only $799.99 at the time of this writing.
While that’s a solid deal that’s worth taking advantage of, you can also cop it for even cheaper right now on Amazon. The online retailer currently has the 128GB model of the Samsung Galaxy S24 marked down to as little as $699.99 — a $100 discount while the promotion lasts. You won’t get trade-in credit, but this is a rare, limited-time deal worth telling all your friends about. The 256GB version, meantime, currently is on sale for $759.99 — fully unlocked and ready to use.
The Galaxy S24 has a slim design and an array of dreamy, stainless steel colors “inspired by Earth’s most precious minerals” that make switching to Android from Apple easy. Your friends may trash-talk you about your green text bubbles, but we think it’s all going to be well worth it. In return, the phone is dust- and water-resistant and has a bright, 6.2-inch high-definition screen display to get the best look at every Hinge profile you swipe right on. You have the option to pick 128 gigabytes or 256 gigabytes depending on your storage needs.
We think the camera is one of its best features, so if you take a lot of pictures, this is the phone for you. It has a 50-megapixel camera for epic zoom-in photography adaptable to dim areas. If you’re seeking out a mobile alternative to Photoshop, the phone can alter photos by moving or deleting objects for the perfect Instagram post. It also can fill in blank spaces and remove glare. The iPhone 15 (which starts at $799) is a direct competitor to the Samsung Galaxy S24. A major difference between the two is its cameras. It’s visually easy to tell — the Galaxy S24 has a third camera lens, while the standard iPhone 15 doesn’t.
The iPhone is known for taking great-quality photos, but the extra features the Galaxy S24 offers take the cake. It also boasts a ProVisual engine, which is a fancy way of saying it’s designed to “enhance detail and color for clear, vibrant high-resolution photos, even at digital zoom distances.” One buyer on Samsung’s site gave a rave review on how it performs and even highlighted how easy it was to edit pictures.
Have a solo European excursion planned? Good thing the Galaxy S24 has Live Translate courtesy of the Galaxy AI feature. It can immediately pick up on spoken words through the Samsung phone app. In short, it’s a frequent traveler’s new best friend.
Is it possible to fall in love with a piece of technology? We think so — and even better that it’s on sale right now on Samsung.com and Amazon (if you hurry).
