Other smartphones have launched this January, but one company is getting most of the attention: Samsung.
Its Galaxy S24 handsets have launched to much fanfare, with a host of high-end features and AI at the forefront.
But whether you want to buy the regular Galaxy S24, S24+ or S24 Ultra (here’s how to decide between them), you’re spoiled for choice in terms of pre-order offers. Here are all the places you can pick one up in the UK or US.
When will the Samsung Galaxy S24 series be released?
Samsung announced the Galaxy S24, S24+ and S24 Ultra at its Galaxy Unpacked event on 17 January 2024.
You can pre-order all three now, ahead of their release on 31 January 2024.
How much does the Samsung Galaxy S24 series cost?
As you might expect from Android flagships, the S24 handsets aren’t cheap. Here’s how much you can expect to pay at launch:
Galaxy S24
- 8GB/128GB – £799/$799.99
- 8GB/256GB – £859/$859.99
Galaxy S24+
- 12GB/256GB – £999/$999.99

- 12GB/1TB – £1,549/$1,659.99
The S24 and S24+ are priced in line with many flagship phones, but the S24 Ultra is one of the most expensive Android phones you can buy.
