Sorry for bombarding you all with Samsung S24 Series Deals!
Moderator's Note
- The original title omitted mentioning the prices were obtainable only after applying a bonus $250 credit for trading-in a device. The deal expiry date has been changed to 7 May when the trade-in bonus offer will expire. The title prices have been adjusted to exclude the assumed $1 value for the trade-in device and the assumed $60 non-return fee.
- Samsung Education Store web pages are showing text claiming 20% off RRP discounts. This is incorrect. The actual discounts are 25% off RRP (offers expire 22 May) which are displayed in text at checkout and confirmed with calculations. We thank the OP for pointing this out after an earlier title revision.
I don't know if this is also available in EPP Stores, please check and update the post if it is available.
PRICES for BASE MODELS:
These prices are derived after the trade-in of a Samsung Watch3 41mm valued at $1.
Samsung S24: $1049.25 - $251 + $60 = $858
Samsung S24+ : $1274.25 - $251 +$60 = $1083.25
Samsung S24 Ultra: $1649.25 - $251 + $60 = $1458.25
Please note that $60 will be charged to your debit/credit card when you fail to return the trade-in device within the return window. Hence, $60 will be charged to your card a few weeks after you've received your device.
I'm extremely poor at the moment to buy this but hope that none of you are as poor as I am to grab this deal.
Update:
You can also add your vouchers while purchasing through this deal. I tried using my $50 coupon code and it worked. So if you have yours, you can further reduce the price based on the value of your coupon code.
I hope this helps. Cheers!
Second Update:
I haven’t included an extra 5% discount on the first purchase through the Samsung Shop App. If you haven’t bought anything using the Shop app before, you’ll get an extra 5% discount.
I was reluctant to buy a Galaxy S24 after my experience with my Pixel 7, which also uses an Exynos modem, and ultimately decided not to get one after some deeper research. It's really hard to find a reliable reviewer who tests mobile reception, and a majority of reviews are of the Snapdragon variant, but I did find this video during the early days of release.

From memory, the notable issues are auto screen-dimming, camera quality (especially the telephoto lens colour balance), camera shutting down during 4k video recording, mobile reception strength, thermals, and Snapdragon having about 17% more battery life.. the Exynos even froze during testing and had to be forced to restart.
