Samsung Galaxy S24 preorder predictions — trade ins, credits and more

We're less than a day away from the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event. Although Samsung has yet to confirm what we'll see at Wednesday's keynote, we're all but certain it'll unveil the new Galaxy S24 , Galaxy S24 Plus , and Galaxy S24 Ultra . That means the first Samsung Galaxy S24 preorder deals are just around the corner.

Although pricing is unconfirmed, we expect Samsung to keep its new flagships at their current $799, $999 and $1,199 prices. Likewise, we expect the first Galaxy S24 preorder deals to begin the minute Samsung unveils its new phones. If you're certain you're upgrading to one of Samsung's new devices, right now Samsung is offering a free $50 credit and $970 trade in credit if you reserve early.

That's $1,020 off and quite likely one of the best early deals we''ll see. Just keep in mind that this offer expires Wednesday afternoon ahead of the 1 p.m. ET start of Galaxy Unpacked. Although carriers have yet to confirm their Galaxy S24 preorder deals, it's easy to predict what we could see based on last year's S23 discounts.
