If steep price tags have prevented you from buying this year's greatest Android phones, you're in luck: Best Buy just dropped an early Black Friday deal that slashes $350 off the Galaxy S24 Ultra — no strings attached, no trade-in required!

For $949.99, you're getting what is arguably the best Samsung phone ever built, a super-powered device with a stunning 6.8-inch AMOLED display, built-in S Pen stylus, and a powerful 200MP main camera. You also get a reliable two-day battery, a ton of useful Galaxy AI features, and the unrivalled efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. And like all of the phones in the Galaxy S24 lineup, the S24 Ultra comes with seven years of guaranteed OS and security updates. We've already seen a ton of outstanding Black Friday Samsung deals this year, but this offer takes the cake as one of the best.

Android Central review: ★★★★½

If you value power in your devices, look no further than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This beast of performance features a powerful Snapdragon processor with 12GB of RAM, a glorious QHD+ AMOLED display, and all of the innovative Galaxy AI features you could ever need. 

Thanks to Best Buy's Black Friday sale, you can currently grab this super-powered smartphone with a $350 discount, no strings attached. Activate the device through your carrier and Best Buy will throw in an additional $100 off, just for kicks. 

👀Alternate Black Friday deal: Up to $800 off with trade-in, free storage upgrade at Samsung

✅Recommended if: you want one of the best Android phones ever produced; you prefer to buy your phones unlocked; you want years of software support. 

❌Skip this deal if: you can wait for the Galaxy S25 to come out next year; you're looking for a trade-in opportunity. 

Of course, even with this deal, 950 bucks isn't nothing. If you're cool with doing a trade-in (or you own something like the Galaxy S23 Ultra), I'd consider skipping this Best Buy offer altogether and heading straight to Samsung.com, where you can score up to $800 off the S24 Ultra when you send in an old or broken device. 

No matter how you choose to save money this holiday season, you can rest easy knowing that there's never been a better time to buy the Galaxy S24 Ultra than right now.
