Did you miss the preorder credit that Samsung was offering on its S24 line of phones that were recently announced? No worries, if you purchase through the links in this article (sponsored/affiliate links, of course), you’ll get exclusive access to $50 of Samsung “reserve” credit. On the plus side, the credits will apply whether you’re buying an unlocked phone or one of your current carrier (although, the trade in values may differ). Unfortunately, if you did preorder, it’s not going to stack, but lets go on to see how you can save the most on each phone.
We’ve got a more detailed write up on the specs of these phones in our news post here.
Samsung Galaxy S24
The base model of the Samsung Galaxy S24 sports 128GB of memory and starts at $799.99 as its MSRP. Here’s the discounts that are available via Samsung.com when using this link –
- Double memory to 256GB (Free – $60 value)
- Trade In Allowance – Up to $550
- Pre-order Samsung credit – $25
- FPS Review / Reserve Credit – $50
This would put you at $249.99 out the door with the top tier trade in (which can be further reduced by 5% if you qualify for the student discount) and net you $75 to spend on Samsung gear at checkout.

Samsung makes decent hardware (at least when it isn't catching on fire) but I cannot stand their bloated and modified Android implementations.
The only time I've been able to tolerate Samsung phones were when they were unlocked, and I could install Cyanogenmod / LineageOS on them.
I have an aging Pixel 5a right now. I haven't upgraded it because I just don't like the new Pixels, and I don't ahve a clue what to upgrade it to.
I just want something AOSP-like, with minimal modifications. I don't want it to do anything feature-wise my phone didn't do in ~2010.
I don't want or need an "assistant" or any AI or cloud features at all, and I'd prefer to keep a wired audio out.
I'm REALLY bummed about the loss of the Nexus/old Pixel style rear fingerprint sensor. It was so immensely superior to the modern in screen ones.
I'd also still prefer expandable storage slots, and easy user-removable batteries, but I guess that ship has thoroughly sailed at this point.
At this point I only upgrade my phone when I get board or if it's performance starts to annoy me. I upgrade from the S21 to the S23 because I was having all kinds of obnoxious issues with the 21 and I wanted the stylus that came with the S23 Ultra for more efficient note taking. I'll definitely be skipping all variants of the S24 but will likely grab the S25 if it gets a good CPU/GPU/Memory boost AND the AI features are good enough to really have some fun with.
Yea I'm in the same boat. I'll wait until I'm unhappy with my current phone and look to upgrade.
I'm just saying that IF you happen to want a S24, the above linked article will hopefully land you the best deal on it...
Not sure I'll buy but the links don't seem to work?
Aww shucks. The standard and Plus link was bonked - shoudl be fixed now.
Just checked and working on my end now.
For me, having active security patches is a must, so when a phone goes EOL, I upgrade, unless I can get trusted aftermarket ROM support.
