Samsung Galaxy S24 Price Drops In Early Amazon Black Friday Sale
by Janhoi McGregor · ForbesSamsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra has dropped to one of its lowest prices on Amazon as Black Friday discounts make an early appearance.
Amazon has knocked 23% off the 256GB Galaxy S24 Ultra, bringing the price down to $1,000.74. That is cheaper than Samsung's own $250 off deal right now, which prices the handset at $1,049.99. The 512GB unit is also 14% less, bringing the price down to $1,220.
It is worth pointing out that Amazon’s discount is only for the black colorway (at 256GB), with grey and yellow at the full $1,299.99 price. The 512GB model in grey and violet have both been slashed by 22%, while the yellow Galaxy S24 Ultra variant is 15% less.
Samsung does this too, often selectively discounting less popular and more garish colors. If you don’t mind flexing a neon-colored phone then keep an eye on Samsung’s site, or hit the follow button below.

What Amazon can’t do is match Samsung’s trade-in pricing. As we saw with the Prime Day sales, the retailer’s valuations for your old phone are poor. For example, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is worth $135 according to Amazon, whereas Samsung will pay $600 for it. It is the same for Apple devices, such as iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is valued at $225 compared to Samsung’s $350 price.
This is the more complex story behind sales and discounts. If you’re buying a smartphone without another to trade in, then Amazon’s upfront price is your best option. Especially if you’re not interested in Samsung Care Plus or discounted accessories. If you do have a device to trade in, however, then it’s worth checking the manufacturer's site first.
That is particularly true for Samsung, which often has industry-leading trade-in prices. The right combination of discounts, trade-in prices, store credit and bundle deals can land an excellent deal, you just have to play with the options. As we saw with the Prime Day sales, though, Amazon will have the best straight money-off pricing.
Despite the early sales, Samsung will be saving its best deals for the actual Black Friday shopping period. Make sure you hit the follow button below to get the latest deal news.
