The best phone deals around continue for a little longer with Samsung continuing to offer some sweet pre-order deals for its recently announced Samsung Galaxy S24 range. However, time is running out with you only having a matter of days to buy one. Three different Samsung Galaxy S24s are available for you to choose from, each with slightly different but consistently fantastic offers. Here’s what you need to know about each of them including my personal favorite of the three.

Samsung Galaxy S24 — Up to $550 enhanced trade-in, free storage upgrade, and $75 Samsung credit

The Samsung Galaxy S24 is my personal choice for which phone to buy. With the right trade-in aka a fairly recently launched phone, you can get the Samsung Galaxy S24 for just $250 thanks to $550 enhanced trade-in during the pre-order period. Alongside that, by using our link, you also get a $75 Samsung credit which can be put towards new earbuds or a smartwatch. There’s twice as much storage so you get 256GB for the price of 128GB while students can enjoy a 5% student discount. The Samsung Galaxy S24 has a great 6.2-inch screen with variable 120Hz refresh rate and up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness. One UI 6.1 looks great while there’s Galaxy AI which boosts photo editing capabilities and makes it easier to find things. A 50MP main camera, 10MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 12MP selfie camera round off this excellent all-rounder. It’s sure to be one of the best phones for most people.

Apple first previewed a new set of child safety features at WWDC in June, and parents can now start using them with iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27. The update gives families more control over which apps children can access, what websites they can visit, who they can communicate with, and how much time they spend in certain app categories.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold 2 rumors are heating up after the iPhone Duo launch
Samsung may be getting ready for round two of the tri-fold fight, but that rumored $2,899 price is still a tough sell.
Samsung Galaxy TriFold folding, TriFold Phone

Samsung may not be ready to let the tri-fold phone disappear just yet. New reports suggest the company is considering bringing the Galaxy Z TriFold 2 to market earlier than planned, potentially in response to Apple's newly launched iPhone Duo. The sequel was previously expected sometime in 2027, but that timeline could now be moved up.

iPhone 18 Pro Max vs. Pixel 11 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S26 Ultra: Which flagship deserves your $1,299?
