Forget the Galaxy S25 - the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is now just $799 without a trade

While all eyes are on the likely launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25, the official Samsung Store has just dropped what's easily the best deal I've seen yet on the still fantastic Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Right now, you can get a massive $200 upfront discount stacked on top of either a trade-in rebate of up to $750 off or an exceptional further discount of $300. That's two incredibly solid options for bagging an unlocked device at a record-low price this month.

In the case of the trade-in rebate, you could potentially pick up the S24 Ultra for just $350 if the device you hand over is valued highly enough to hit the max rebate. For the non-trade-in deal, you get a Galaxy S24 Ultra for just $799 upfront - which is lower than last year's Black Friday deal, for the record.

One caveat with this particular deal is that it's currently only available on the Samsung-exclusive colors of Green, Blue, and Orange. I'd say that's a small price to pay for such a good deal, however, since you can easily throw a case on your brand-new (and extremely discounted) Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: up to $950 off with a trade-in, or $500 off upfront at Samsung
Samsung has just quietly dropped the best deal I've ever seen at the official retailer on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. For a limited time, you can stack a massive $200 upfront discount on top of either a trade-in rebate of up to $750 or a further upfront discount of $300. In the case of the latter, it's possible to get a fully unlocked device without the usual trade-in criteria for a brand-new record-low price of just $799.
