The Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 16 Pro Max are two of the biggest and most premium non-foldable smartphones on the market. Both are powerful and pack top-of-the-line features, including AI-backed functions, but how do these two bank-breakers stack up against each other? Does one do some things better than the other? Let's find out.

The outstanding Galaxy S24 Ultra is now more affordable than ever, and now its $470 including a memory upgrade

Using this Black Friday deal at the official Samsung site, you can either get an unlocked 512GB device for $950 without a trade (a record-low) or a device for as little as $499 with the trade. In the former case, today's discount at Samsung is a whole $100 better than Amazon's cheapest price for a 512GB model, so it's absolutely worth checking out.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, a pinnacle of smartphone innovation per Android users, is currently available at a big 25% discount for Black Friday, bringing its price down to $1,069.99 from the original $1,419.99 (the 512GB variant).

Elsewhere, Best Buy has discounted the Galaxy S24 Plus by $200, bringing the price down to $799.99. The Galaxy S24 FE is also $175 cheaper, bringing the current price down to $534.99. The base Galaxy S24 is still fully priced, as is the last year’s Galaxy S23 series.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a big phone with an even bigger price tag, but this week's Black Friday deal at the official Samsung Store could be your ticket to a cheap upgrade. Available right now is not only a handy storage upgrade, but a massive trade-in rebate of up to $800 off or a simple $300 upfront discount.
