Since then, I’ve been watching the company’s official US website pretty closely to track any potential movement on the S24 series discontinuation or discounting front, and today I’m happy to report that the inevitable has happened… at least in part.
Should you get the “vanilla” Galaxy S24 now?
Probably not. But not because it’s a bad phone. Instead, I believe you should simply wait for a better money-saving opportunity. Allow me to explain.

That means this is the new permanent US entry point in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered Galaxy S24 family, while digital hoarders can get the 6.2-inch smartphone for $759.99 with no special requirements and no strings attached after a permanent $100 markdown of its own from a previous recommended price of $859.99.
Of course, a reduced official price gives Samsung and its retail partners the chance to bring the S24 lower than ever before in the future, so be sure to keep an eye on all such opportunities potentially coming around Valentine’s Day and beyond. First, however, the likes of Amazon and Best Buy will need to follow Samsung’s suit and permanently knock the handset down to $699.99 and $759.99 with 128 and 256GB internal storage space respectively, which for some reason hasn’t happened just yet.
What about the Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra?

Could the two 2024 Android giants be discontinued in the coming days or weeks? Maybe, but even if that happens, it will probably only be true for Samsung’s official US e-store, with third-party retailers like Amazon and Best Buy being all but guaranteed to keep selling the entire Galaxy S24 series for at least a few more months. And yes, that means some juicy deals are most likely in the pipeline too.
