The clock is ticking on a superb deal that could get you the Samsung Galaxy S24 for less than £180. Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone is one of our favourite handsets of the year, and you can currently buy it directly from the manufacturer for £599, which is already a £200 reduction on the £799 RRP of the 128GB device.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 was already at its record-low price, but Black Friday has triggered a second discount, with the phone now $140 off.

The Pixel 8a is a compact option with a plastic back, while the Galaxy S24 FE has a glass panel. The latter is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both sides. On the Pixel 8a, you have a slightly less durable Gorilla Glass 3 protection on the front.

Samsung typically sells standard and Plus Galaxy S models in the same colors, so we predict that any color the Samsung Galaxy S25 is available in, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus will be sold in too. Below, you’ll find the shades that have been leaked so far.

Every year, Samsung unveils its latest smartphones in January or February and when Black Friday is here, the company takes the opportunity to clear out its stock. This year, the offer on the Galaxy S24 Ultra is unprecedented and surpassing previous deals.

Samsung is usually among the first device makers to update its flagship devices to the latest monthly security patch. It rolled out the November 2024 update for the Galaxy S24 series right at the beginning of the month.
