I’ve got nothing against iOS, but I find a certain level of comfort in Android that keeps me from making the shift. And, went talking about Android phones, it’s hard to resist the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s temptation being as flagship as it is. However, if it’s your dream phone (at least till the Galaxy S25 series arrives), you’re in luck as the phone is now a never-seen-before $400 off on Best Buy, thanks to early Black Friday deals!
The expensive flagship from Samsung sells for $1,299. But, because of the early Black Friday sale deal on Best Buy, it’s now up for grabs at $400 off, for just $899.99. That’s a whopping 30% discount! However, the only hitch is that you will need to connect the phone to either Verizon or AT&T when making the purchase.
Why Buy the Galaxy S24 Ultra?
I’m someone who has always preferred compact phones. But, when I spent about a week with the Galaxy S24 Ultra we have at the office, I had to let go of it before I got too addicted. It’s not because of the included S Pen turning it into a productivity monster. But, it’s the overall feel of this phablet, if you may call it that, which makes it such an enticing flagship.
For starters, there’s this gorgeous 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with Quad HD+ resolution (3120 x 1440 pixels) and 120Hz refresh rate. Whether I was watching movies, playing games, or simply staring at an AI-generated wallpaper on the lock screen, everything was a treat on this panel.
If you’re as clumsy as me, you won’t have to worry about dropping or bumping it too much since Samsung uses Gorilla Glass Armor on the display and Victus 2 at the back. It’s also IP68 rated, making it one durable device. The 5000mAh battery that it packs is also quite the monster and delivers around 6.5 to 7 hours of screen on time, which is amazing. That, paired with 45W fast charging support, although not the fastest, is a great combination as per Samsung’s standards.
For all the photography and videography enthusiasts out there, if you don’t have enough to go for a mirrorless DSLR like the Nikon ZF (review), you can simply use the Galaxy S24 Ultra to get one of the best mobile camera experiences out there. The 200MP-led quad rear camera setup with a 50MP periscope telephoto makes this a formidable camera phone.
Most importantly, it’s as future-proof as you can get since the Galaxy S24 Ultra is backed by 7 years of software updates as well! Samsung also has the best Android ecosystem features and synchronization out there. So, if you’re a Samsung lover who already has a Samsung refrigerator, tablet, laptop and the like, it would be criminal to not for for this Galaxy S24 Ultra early Black Friday deal.
