Whether you're after everyday convenience or top-tier mobile performance, this series is built to meet your needs – and for years to come – thanks to Samsung's promise of up to seven years of software updates. Are you looking to dive deeper into the S24 series? We’re here to give you more information on the Samsung S24 series release date, camera specs, and overall features. Remember, the Samsung S26 has recently been released, with a few minor updates and extra AI enhancement. Check out this model if you want the latest flagship.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series gives you four clear choices, the S24, S24+, S24 FE, and the S24 Ultra. The S24 keeps things compact and fast, while the S24+ comes with a bigger, sharper display and longer battery life. The S24 FE offers many of the same features at a lower price point to make it a more valuable option. At the top, the S24 Ultra stands out with a 200MP camera, advanced zoom, and built in S Pen. All models support 120Hz displays and up to seven years of updates, so the right pick depends on size, budget, and how much camera and productivity power you’re looking for.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series launched in January 2024, with the S24 FE arriving later in the year. Each model builds on the same core experience, with strong performance, AMOLED displays and long termsoftware support.

You can purchase a Samsung S24, S24+, S24 FE, or S24 Ultra new or refurbished. We encourage you to consider choosing a refurbished device, though, because it is better for both your wallet and the planet. As shown above, refurbished devices offer considerable savings compared to new ones. At Back Market, we sell professionally refurbished devices that deliver premium quality. All of our smartphones are professionally restored by certified industry experts. Each device is thoroughly repaired, cleaned, and tested before being made available at an unbeatable price. And for your peace of mind, every device comes with a 1-year warranty and a 30-day return window in case you change your mind.
Refurbished smartphones are also great for the planet. By choosing a refurbished device, you extend the life of tech that would otherwise end up in landfills as e-waste. Did you know that 80% of a smartphone's total CO2 emissions come from its production? Choosing a refurbished smartphone helps fight climate change by reducing the demand for new manufacturing, which means significantly less CO2 is released into the atmosphere. The choice is obvious. Shop smart – buy refurbished.
