Android fans have long appreciated the top-tier quality of Samsung phones. They’re consistently ranked among the best phones you can get, and now devotees can preorder the latest Samsung Galaxy lineup. While Samsung had its own reservation deal for early birds, we’ve gathered all the best preorder deals you can currently take advantage of to help you get your hands on one without paying full price.
This story is part of Samsung Event, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Samsung’s most popular products.
Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 series at its Unpacked event on Wednesday. This new flagship comes with a number of solid upgrades over its predecessor, including bigger batteries and brighter screens and, most impressively, these phones are among some of the first smartphones to include generative AI capability directly on the device itself. That means users will be able to use generative AI anywhere, even when the device is offline. The new phones come equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which means performance for on-device AI should be speedy.
It’s worth noting that the gen AI features that will be available on the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus and S24 Ultra will also be coming to previous-gen phones in the S23 series along with the Z series later this year. That means you may still be able to take advantage of that particular upgrade for a bit less, with expected Galaxy S23 deals set to roll out as the latest models hit shelves.

That puts the Ultra at $100 more expensive than the S23 Ultra was at launch. However, it has a titanium frame this time around, which may account for the extra cost.
