With the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, the brightest displays seen on a Galaxy smartphone, and all the AI smarts you can handle, Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series is in all its glory. While premium handsets come with premium prices, you can still save up to $870 on your chosen Galaxy S24 model through January 30 and get your hands on a Best Buy gift card worth up to $150.
How Much?
If you pre-order the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, or Galaxy S24 Ultra, Best Buy will hand you a gift card with a value of up to $150, as mentioned. Trading in your old phone could also snag you up to $750 in savings, bringing the price of the Galaxy S24 Ultra down to just $549. On top of this, you’ll also qualify to get double the storage at no further cost, so instead of getting the 256GB Galaxy S24 Ultra, you would get the 512GB variant, and so on. This adds another $120 in value to Best Buy’s deal.
What Does The Galaxy S24 Series Offer?
Besides the increased performance and power efficiency of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, the Galaxy S24 series features brighter displays and software updates until 2031. It also brings the following AI features across the range:
- Live Translate: Translates phone calls in voice and text, in real-time. 13 languages will be supported at launch.
- Circle to Search: A collaboration with Google, long-pressing the Home button will allow you to circle, highlight, tap, or even scribble on anything you want to search for more info on.
- Interpreter: Splits your screen to allow real-time text transcription when talking with someone across from you. It will work without an internet connection.
- Note Assist: It uses AI to summarize your notes and can even make templates and covers for notes.
- Transcript Assist: Uses AI to transcribe, summarize, and even translate voice recordings.
- Generative Edit: This can be used to add details to photos taken on the device, such as when trying to straighten a crooked shot or shifting the subject to a different position in the photo.
And it’s not just the top-of-the-line Galaxy S24 Ultra that benefits from these accessible AI features; both the vanilla Galaxy S24 and the larger S24+ offer these enhanced capabilities. Indeed, the S24+ model also sports a battery and QHD+ resolution display almost as big as what the Ultra offers.
Best Buy
While the title relates to the retailer, it could also represent the Galaxy S24 model you are considering. If size doesn’t matter but you are on a budget, the Galaxy S24+ could be the middle ground between the smaller, more pocketable base S24 and the larger but more capable S24 Ultra.
Whichever version you decide upon, you can pre-order directly from Best Buy and make the most of the savings offered by trading in your old phone for up to $750 and getting a gift card for up to $150.
