There’s no way to put it gently — the latest gen Samsung phones are in a tight spot. Our (very recent) Samsung Galaxy A56 review calls it “not very desirable” right in the headline. And so, for lovers of the best Samsung phones, we’re realizing that we need to go to search for Samsung deals to find things actually worth buying.

Enter this deal we’re finding on the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, which drops the phone just below the $500 mark at $499.  That’s about 23% off of its usual price of $650, or a discount of around $200. We’re finding this deal at multiple retailers at the moment, so tap the appropriate button below to get your preferred shopping experience with this deal. If you want to know more about the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE and why this deal turns it into a “buy,” please keep reading.

Note: If you select Best Buy, you can bundle your order with a pair of the $100 Samsung Galaxy Buds FE at a special price of just $40, saving you an additional $60.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is an AI-empowered phone with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen that displays with a 2340 x 1080 pixel resolution. It includes 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage (at least on this version that’s now on sale), and an IP68 weather resistance rating that makes it nearly impervious to dust and water damage. Then, there’s the two-day battery life for those of us that fall asleep without plugging the phone in from time to time. From a purely statistical perspective, all things check out.

However, we mentioned that the latest gen Samsung phones are in a tight spot. And this phone, released in the fall of 2024, is no different. Our Samsung Galaxy S24 FE review pretty plainly states that it wasn’t the top phone to buy of its moment. That’s a hard thing to argue against, right? Well, not necessarily. If your main takeaway from the review is that the S24 FE “isn’t a bad phone, but it is an outclassed and outpriced one” you may have to rethink your bias now that it is just $500. Plus, one of the stated cons in the review, that the phone is “very big,” is a little bit subjective — the dimensions of the phone are comparable to the Galaxy S24 Ultra or Google Pixel 9 Pro XL.

If you want to get this deal, you should act fast as we don’t know when it is going to go away. To remind you, you can now get the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE for $499 by tapping any of the retailers below. That’s a savings of around $150 from the usual $650. If you go the Best Buy route, also be sure to check out the ‘Key Accessories’ tab under the color selection menu, as the Galaxy Buds FE are marked down to a special price of $40 on this page, whereas they are only marked down to $70 natively.

After four generations of camera stagnation, the Galaxy S27 might finally get a new main sensor
Samsung could turn to Sony for the Galaxy S27’s long-overdue main camera upgrade
Samsung Galaxy S26

Samsung might finally be ready to stop recycling the same main camera hardware on its standard Galaxy S phones, which it introduced with the Galaxy S22. GalaxyClub reports that some Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ prototypes are being tested with a new 50MP Sony sensor for the main camera.

Such a move would break Samsung’s long-running preference for its own ISOCELL hardware in the primary cameras of Galaxy S phones, even if the resolution remains unchanged.
