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 clock is ticking on a superb deal that could get you the Samsung Galaxy S24 for less than £180. Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone is one of our favourite handsets of the year, and you can currently buy it directly from the manufacturer for £599, which is already a £200 reduction on the £799 RRP of the 128GB device.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 was already at its record-low price, but Black Friday has triggered a second discount, with the phone now $140 off.

The Pixel 8a is a compact option with a plastic back, while the Galaxy S24 FE has a glass panel. The latter is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both sides. On the Pixel 8a, you have a slightly less durable Gorilla Glass 3 protection on the front.

Samsung is rolling out the most compelling promotions of the year for Black Friday and the Galaxy S24 Ultra is at the center of it all. On the official store, if you purchase the 512GB version of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, you will only pay the price of the 256GB model ( “double the storage on us”) and this alone saves you $120.

Samsung is usually among the first device makers to update its flagship devices to the latest monthly security patch. It rolled out the November 2024 update for the Galaxy S24 series right at the beginning of the month.
