Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Samsung officially announced the new Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra phones at its annual Galaxy Unpacked event on 17 January.
After a two-week pre-order window, the Galaxy S24 series is now available to buy in-store and online. The three new smartphones start from £799, £999 and £1,249, respectively – that actually makes the base models a little cheaper than last year’s Galaxy S23 devices.
Anyone who pre-ordered before 31 January got the Galaxy Watch 6 included for free. While this offer has ended, you can still get 30 per cent off the Samsung smartwatch, plus 12 months of Disney+ when you buy any Galaxy S24 phone.

Where to buy the Samsung Galaxy S24
Best Samsung Galaxy S24 deals
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with unlimited data: £55 per month, £170 up front, Mobiles.co.uk
Mobiles.co.uk has a relatively steep up front fee of £170 but, over the course of the 24-month contract, this works out to be the cheapest Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra deal we’ve spotted so far. You pay £1,490 in total (barring the usual mid-contract price increase) and get unlimited data included as well as a free pair of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and a Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: £39.99 per month, £405 up front, Idmobile.co.uk
Here’s the best deal with unlimited data we’ve found on the new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. This contract from iD Mobile has you paying a total of around £1,365 over 24 months, though it comes with a pretty hefty up front charge of £405. That works out to roughly £4.80 per month for the airtime portion of the contract. The plan comes with an extra discount on an eligible trade-in, a year of Disney+, a Samsung Smart Tag and a free pair of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: £68 per month, £40 up front, Vodafone.co.uk
Vodafone’s Galaxy S24 deal gives you half-price airtime for the first six months of your contract – from month seven onwards, your payments will increase from £53 to £71 per month for unlimited data. That averages out to £68 per month over 36 months, though, after 24 months, you’ll have the option to switch to a different tariff, or upgrade. Trade-in your phone with Vodafone and you can save £14 a month on your new handset. Samsung’s offer of a free pair of earbuds and a Bluetooth tracker is appled here, too.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus: £50.19 per month, £30 up front, O2.co.uk
O2 is offering the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus with 30GB of data for £50.19 per month after paying £30 up front.
