Availability
After a successful pre-order phase, Samsung’s Galaxy S24 smartphones are now available for anyone to buy.
Post-Launch Offers
While the post-launch offers aren’t as extensive as during pre-order, one main deal stands out – the chance to upgrade the phone’s storage to the next level, which is a great offer for buyers.
Pre-order Advantages
If you buy the phone without a carrier contract (SIM-free), pre-orders often have more benefits.
Carrier Deals
If you go for a carrier plan, you might get more extended discounts over a two-year contract period.
UK Specifics
In the UK, if you buy a Galaxy S24, S24+, or S24 Ultra in February, you get free Galaxy Buds2 Pro and a SmartTag 2. Direct purchases from Samsung UK also offer discounts on various items and a 12-month Disney+ subscription.
Regional Variations
Offers and discounts may vary in different countries, so it’s important to check the local listings for specific details.
US Customer Offers
In the US, major carriers offer trade-in options with discounts up to $1,000. Retailers like Amazon and Best Buy provide gift cards and trade-in options. Verizon has a special deal for Galaxy S24+ buyers, including a $1,000 trade-in discount, Galaxy Watch6, and Galaxy Tab S9 FE tablet.
Pricing in the US
The SIM-free prices for Galaxy S24 models in the US range from $799 to $1,659, depending on the storage option you choose.
Launch Strategy
Samsung strategically launched the Galaxy S24 before the Mobile World Congress, gaining an advantage in media coverage and sales. The timing also avoids direct competition with the Apple iPhone, targeting users who might be open to alternatives.
Global Marketing
Samsung is aggressively promoting the Galaxy S24 worldwide to boost sales during a brief period where they have an advantage in the market. Their goal is to attract users away from the Apple ecosystem.
