I've been testing camera phones for 8 years, and a $1,000 discount isn't the only reason to pick the Samsung S24 Ultra this Cyber Monday

I love the 200MP camera for everyday photography.

Heads up Android fans, you can get the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra SIM-free and with 512GB of storage for just $499.99 from Samsung right now (no, I'm not kidding). That's a $920 saving on the usual $1,419.99 retail price, but the catch is that you need an eligible device to trade in towards it. However, there's a range of models to choose from on a sliding scale so the likelihood is you'll get a decent trade-in offer.

Samsung itself says the saving is actually up to $1,100 if you add all the moving parts together, FYI. That's double storage, trade-in, upfront discount – and then it also flags some fantastic accessories offers as well (these look to be separate).

Overview: As a photographer, I highly recommend the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for its image quality, excellent software and battery life, and the S Pen is a bonus for editing finer details. Even if you're not much of a photographer, Galaxy AI features are enough to leave you mindblown – with real-time call translations, note assistance, and Circle to Search (which is always handy for creatives).

Key features: Display: 6.8" Quad HD+ (120Hz) Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display | Dimensions: 162.3 x 79.0 x 8.6mm | Main Camera: 12MP Ultra Wide Camera / 200MP Wide-angle Camera / 10MP Telephoto Camera | Selfie Camera: 12MP | Zoom: 100X Space Zoom | Storage : 256GB/ 512GB/ 1TB | Weight : 232g | Battery: 5000mAh (typical) | Material: Titanium frame

Release date: February 2024

Price history: Having been released earlier this year, the S24 Ultra is still under a year old. However, we've seen some generous savings on this handset from Samsung in the last few months, which could mean that the company is making way for the S25 Ultra.

Price check: $909 at Walmart | $969.99 at Best Buy

Review Consensus: I currently own the Samsung S24 ultra, and I love everything about it (so I guess you could say I'm a little biased). However, in our review of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, our reviewer felt that it had an excellent camera system, with 7 years of updates to look forward to. However, there's the concern that software might fall behind if left unchecked, and at a high price point too.
