Best Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ SIM-free deals
If you decide to buy your Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S24+ SIM-free, then you’ll be able to pair the handset with any SIM deal. That includes the SIM card inside your phone or any SIM-only deal.
This offers extra flexibility, but it’s a more expensive initial outlay. Some retailers offer interest-free payment plans, which mirrors the affordability of a pay monthly deal.
Preordering the Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S24+ direct from Samsung means you’ll get the choice of three exclusive colourways: Sapphire Blue, Jade Green, and Sandstone Orange.
Buying your new Samsung phone from anywhere else, you’ll be able to choose between Cobalt Violet, Amber Yellow, Onyx Black, and Marble Grey.
Samsung is offering a one-year subscription to Disney+ when you purchase any of the Galaxy S models. You don’t need to buy from the Samsung store to qualify – you can redeem the offer from this webpage no matter where you buy the phone, whether it’s SIM-free or a pay monthly deal.
Likewise, you can claim a free Galaxy Watch 6, worth £289, when you order the Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S24+ before January 25 from any online or high street retailer. You’ll only need to share proof of purchase with Samsung on this webpage.
Preorder before January 30 and Samsung will double the amount of built-in storage at no extra cost, so you’ll get the 512GB model for the price of 256GB and so on. You can save as much as £150.

Best Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ pay monthly deals
Buying the latest Samsung phones with a pay monthly deal means you won’t have to shell out as much money upfront – and you could unlock some additional perks. Mobile networks like Vodafone, O2, and Three all offer loyalty schemes with discounted coffees, gig tickets, and cinema tickets.
No matter which deal you decide to sign-up for, you’ll still be able to claim a one-year subscription to Disney+ for free and a Galaxy Watch 6, worth £289. You’ll need to provide proof of purchase to Samsung before January 25, then you’ll be able to claim the freebies.
For a fair comparison between pay monthly deals, we’ve decided to pit deals with between 20-30GB of 5G mobile data against one another. That’s a decent monthly allowance that means you’ll be able to stream songs and podcasts, get turn-by-turn directions from Google Maps, and make video calls on WhatsApp, without worrying about running out of 5G.
Of course, those who want to binge boxsets from Netflix on the train to work every morning will need more 5G data, while others might be able to save money with a smaller data allowance. But it’s a pretty decent middle-ground that should work for most people.

What’s new with Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+?
Both Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ arrive with slightly bigger screens, bigger batteries, and a slew of clever Artificial Intelligence (AI) features.
The smaller (and most affordable) of the new handsets from Samsung, the Galaxy S24, boasts a 6.2-inch AMOLED screen, which is 0.1-inch larger than the Galaxy S23. It’s powered by a 4,000mAh battery cell, which is 100mAh larger than its predecessor.
Galaxy S24+ has a 6.7-inch display, which is similarly 0.1-inch larger than S23+. Like its smaller sibling, Samsung has equipped the Galaxy S24+ with a bigger battery cell, increasing capacity from 4,700mAh to 4,900mAh.
Coupled with the efficiencies of the new chipset powering the Galaxy S24 series, Exynos 2400, Samsung is confident that battery life will endure 25-hours of web browsing and 29-hours of video playback between charges.
Samsung is using an AMOLED display on both Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ with a variable refresh-rate, which ranges from 1Hz to 120Hz, to provide buttery-smooth animations and conserve battery.
There’s a triple-camera system on the back of both S24 and S24+ with a 50-megapixel camera, 10-megapixel telephoto capable of lossless 3x optical zoom, and 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. This combo offers all of the usual photo tricks you’d expect from a top-end phone, including bokeh-style blur for Portrait Mode images and video, slow-motion video capture, panoramas, and much more.
The front-facing camera is a 12-megapixel, which is unchanged from last year.
Samsung will keep the Galaxy S24 and S24+ updated with seven generations of Android upgrades. Since both handsets ship with Android 14 preinstalled, that means Samsung phone owners will benefit from new features included in Android 21 (provided Google sticks with that naming convention and doesn’t go back to puddings) in the early 2030s. Samsung has also pledged seven years of security updates to protect users from hackers and glitches for years to come.
Samsung has squeezed a bigger lithium-ion battery inside the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ which, coupled with the efficiencies of the new Exynos chipset, should result in some impressive gains in battery life

Galaxy AI is the big focus for Samsung with its new phones. The new AI features baked into the Galaxy S24 and S24+ include real-time translation tool for voice calls and texts, a Chat Assist tool to suggest the right tone for messages, and note and transcription tools which can transcribe conversations, translate them and even summarise them into bullet points.
In addition, the S24 range will be among the first devices to utilise Google’s Circle to Search feature, which enables users to circle, highlight or tap on anything on-screen, such as a landmark in a video or a piece of furniture, and do a web search on the point of interest selected.
The feature can be used within any app running on the phone and has so far only been confirmed for launch on the S24 range and Google’s own Pixel 8 smartphones.
Unsurprisingly, AI even makes an appearance in the camera too, with new editing tools available to recompose images, as well as use generative AI to fill in gaps when subjects in photos are moved.
Samsung said many of the AI tools would work on-device rather than via the cloud using an internet connection, meaning they would be accessible even when a user does not have a data connection, and would better protect user data and privacy.
Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ are available in a variety of colours, including Cobalt Violet, Amber Yellow, Onyx Black, and Marble Grey. If you order directly from Samsung, you’ll also get the choice of either Sapphire Blue, Jade Green, or Sandstone Orange.
