Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy S24 at Best Buy

The S24s are the newest release in Samsung’s Galaxy line, but there are more reasons to upgrade than just having the newest model. The S24 and S24 Plus are slightly bigger than their S23 counterparts; both are a bit taller. The Ultra has stayed the same size. There are some standard upgrades, like a higher maximum brightness and a slightly different user interface.

The big push for the S24, and the biggest reason S23 users will want to upgrade, is the integration of Samsung AI. Samsung has been pushing its new AI very hard in the lead up to this release. This means super easy photo editing, like removing people, cars and trees from the background of your photos. The translation features are also much better, and you can now translate phone calls automatically. Samsung says that it will continue updating the AI features, but in order to ride this wave you’ll need the S24. It’s a major change that will feature in all of Samsung’s future Galaxy models.

Head over to Best Buy if you want unlocked Samsung Galaxy S24 deals. You can get up to $870 in trade-in credit, depending on the phone you trade in and the phone you end up buying. Best Buy will also double the storage for free and give you a Best Buy gift card of up to $150. You have until January 30 to take advantage of this offer, so don’t wait.

Xiaomi 18 Fold has me questioning what a compact phone should look like, or even cost
I love compact phones, but these wide foldables have me rethinking the whole concept now
Xiaomi 18 Fold at IFA 2026

The best part of my job is the access to some of the coolest gadgets, especially the latest and greatest smartphones. Even then, I often found myself gravitating towards compact phones. At this point, I'd even skip a premium foldable just so I could have something a little more handy.

But every now and then, a larger phone would have this one feature or show me why a bigger phone is still so popular. I also want to play games, watch videos, and occasionally keep two apps open without fighting for every inch of screen space. A smaller phone makes many parts of my life easier, but the compromises aren't nonexistent. Simply making the phone wider may solve those problems, but eventually it becomes harder to handle again.

Xiaomi’s latest foldable has me convinced this design is here to stay
The Xiaomi 18 Fold pairs an unusual wider design with a surprisingly large battery, homegrown silicon, and flagship cameras, all packed into a 219-gram body.

September is becoming a very interesting month for foldable phones, and Xiaomi has just added another to the pile. The Xiaomi 18 Fold has launched in China with a shorter, wider shape that looks a little like a passport when closed. It’s quite a departure from the tall and narrow book-style foldables we’ve become used to, but Xiaomi isn't alone in thinking this might be the way forward.

Samsung already went down a similar road with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in July, giving it a shorter, wider footprint and a 4:3 display when unfolded. Apple is expected to reveal its first foldable iPhone on September 9 — just two days after Xiaomi's launch — and rumors have repeatedly pointed toward a similar passport-style design. Then there's Huawei, which launched the Mate XT 2 today as well, although it is taking things in an entirely different direction with a tri-fold design.

Huawei’s latest tri-fold can take an ECG, and it’s like the old Galaxy era is back
This Samsung Galaxy S5 feature is getting revived for Huawei's $3000 tri-folding phone
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Huawei just dropped its new tri-fold as a spectacular piece of hardware. The redesigned Mate XT 2 has a 10.2-inch folding display, a tougher inward-folding mechanism, and a jaw-dropping price tag. But now that Huawei has revealed the full specifications, one of its most interesting features has little to do with the screen.

The Mate XT 2 can record an electrocardiogram, or ECG, using electrodes built into its metal frame. So if a user unfolds the phone and holds the two sides with both hands, the device can capture a 30-second reading. The accompanying software then generates an ECG report that can flag sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions, and premature atrial contractions in adults.
