The Galaxy S23 Ultra might be one of the best Android phones on the market today but it won't be holding on to that crown for too long. That's why it's a downright stupid idea to even consider buying last year's flagship now, because an even better phone is on the horizon.
Samsung confirmed today that the Galaxy S24 series is going to be unveiled on January 17. The new lineup includes a new Ultra model as well, which is going to replace the Galaxy S23 Ultra, and offer far more superior features.
Now's not the time to buy the Galaxy S23 Ultra
Samsung continues to sell older flagships so even as the Galaxy S24 Ultra is released next month, we'll likely see the Galaxy S23 Ultra be offered at a lower price. It might make sense to buy that device once the price cut goes into effect, but not right now, when the Galaxy S23 Ultra is being sold at its regular price.
The best option for you at this point in time is to get your $50 credit for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung is giving you a free, no-obligation credit for just signing up. As long as you do that before the event on January 17, you can get $50 off the Galaxy S24 Ultra when it goes on sale in the third week of January.
If the Galaxy S23 Ultra is what you're really after, it would be best to wait until its successor is out, as that's when Samsung is going to cut the price. This price cut is usually a couple of hundred dollars at the very least, so you stand to save a pretty penny just by waiting.
For those who can swing it, buying the Galaxy S24 Ultra is the obvious better choice, with its suite of new Galaxy AI features, latest chipsets, improved cameras, and an additional year of Android OS upgrade support. All the more reason to get that $50 credit from Samsung!
