There’s no way to put it gently — the latest gen Samsung phones are in a tight spot. Our (very recent) Samsung Galaxy A56 review calls it “not very desirable” right in the headline. And so, for lovers of the best Samsung phones, we’re realizing that we need to go to search for Samsung deals to find things actually worth buying.

Enter this deal we’re finding on the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, which drops the phone just below the $500 mark at $499.  That’s about 23% off of its usual price of $650, or a discount of around $200. We’re finding this deal at multiple retailers at the moment, so tap the appropriate button below to get your preferred shopping experience with this deal. If you want to know more about the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE and why this deal turns it into a “buy,” please keep reading.

Note: If you select Best Buy, you can bundle your order with a pair of the $100 Samsung Galaxy Buds FE at a special price of just $40, saving you an additional $60.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is an AI-empowered phone with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen that displays with a 2340 x 1080 pixel resolution. It includes 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage (at least on this version that’s now on sale), and an IP68 weather resistance rating that makes it nearly impervious to dust and water damage. Then, there’s the two-day battery life for those of us that fall asleep without plugging the phone in from time to time. From a purely statistical perspective, all things check out.

However, we mentioned that the latest gen Samsung phones are in a tight spot. And this phone, released in the fall of 2024, is no different. Our Samsung Galaxy S24 FE review pretty plainly states that it wasn’t the top phone to buy of its moment. That’s a hard thing to argue against, right? Well, not necessarily. If your main takeaway from the review is that the S24 FE “isn’t a bad phone, but it is an outclassed and outpriced one” you may have to rethink your bias now that it is just $500. Plus, one of the stated cons in the review, that the phone is “very big,” is a little bit subjective — the dimensions of the phone are comparable to the Galaxy S24 Ultra or Google Pixel 9 Pro XL.

If you want to get this deal, you should act fast as we don’t know when it is going to go away. To remind you, you can now get the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE for $499 by tapping any of the retailers below. That’s a savings of around $150 from the usual $650. If you go the Best Buy route, also be sure to check out the ‘Key Accessories’ tab under the color selection menu, as the Galaxy Buds FE are marked down to a special price of $40 on this page, whereas they are only marked down to $70 natively.

Your old iPhone may have a security flaw Apple can’t fix
Security researchers find a new BootROM exploit affecting iPhones with A12 and A13 chips
iPhone 11 Pro in hand

iPhones are widely seen as some of the most secure smartphones for everyday users. Still, Apple devices are not immune to serious security flaws, as recent threats like Coruna and DarkSword have shown. Now, security researchers at Paradigm Shift have detailed a different kind of exploit called usbliter8, which affects some older iPhones and targets a deep part of Apple’s startup process known as the BootROM.

The BootROM is the basic startup code that runs before iOS loads. It helps the iPhone begin the boot process and verify what should run next. Because it is built into the chip itself, it is much harder to fix than a normal iOS bug. Apple can usually patch software flaws through an update, but it cannot rewrite BootROM code on devices that have already shipped.

Caviar's new iPhone 17 Pro Max case has a dinosaur tooth

Caviar has made plenty of absurdly expensive custom phones before, but its latest iPhone accessory might be a crossover for the ages (literally). The company’s new Magnetic Custom Relict is a magnetic case for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and it costs $4,490. Yes, the price tag sounds absurd till you realize what the case includes. Embedded into the iPhone protective cover is a fragment of a Tyrannosaurus fossil set into the tip of its signature checkmark design.

It's more expensive than the phone it protects

Nothing just canceled its next CMF Phone, and the reason has nothing to do with the phone itself. 

The company's co-founder, Akis Evangelidis, confirmed on X that CMF won’t launch a new phone this year, citing the memory crisis, which appears to be worsening with each passing day.
