Samsung Discontinues Galaxy S24 Plus Amid S25 Launch

In a surprising turn of events, Samsung appears to have discontinued the Galaxy S24 Plus, shortly after the introduction of the Galaxy S25 series. With the Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra seemingly out of stock on Samsung's official U.S. website, the focus shifts towards Samsung's latest offerings. This article explores the implications of the S24 Plus discontinuation and what it means for consumers.

Samsung's Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra availability has come under scrutiny after the "vanilla" S24 received a permanent price cut last month. Expectations ran high, but reality has struck, as both larger devices are now effectively unavailable.

Following the apparent discontinuation of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the slightly lesser-known Galaxy S24 Plus has been reported as out of stock in all its variants on Samsung's official website, giving little hope for a return to shelves for last year's 6.7-inch Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 device.

The End of the S24 Plus: A Transition to the S25 Plus

In keeping with the pattern seen with the S24 Ultra, Samsung has not yet made an official statement confirming the Galaxy S24 Plus is permanently discontinued. However, the tech giant has not addressed the S24 series since launching the new Galaxy S25 lineup, leading to observations about the last-minute price cut on the 6.2-inch model.

After monitoring Samsung's e-store for changes regarding S24+ stock, it has become increasingly clear that the device is likely retired. As the S24 Ultra departs from listings, Samsung's focus shifts firmly to the new S25 series.

The S24 Plus's potential revival seems pointless, especially with the Galaxy S25 Plus being superior and priced identically at $999.99 for the base 256GB model. Fans can currently snag a reduced price of $849.99 for both the 256GB and 512GB versions, boosting its appeal.

Given the current promotions, the Galaxy S24 Plus is no longer a competitive option in the market, which diminishes its relevance at the limited third-party retailers that still have stock.

Is the Base Galaxy S24 Next in Line?

While expectations suggest that the 6.2-inch Galaxy S24 may remain available for now, uncertainty looms. Despite it being dubbed the best Samsung phone recently, there are indications that its future might also be precarious.

The non-Plus, non-Ultra Galaxy S24 has not experienced any price drops, as the focus shifts towards the recently improved 6.2-inch Galaxy S25, which is currently discounted to as low as $674.99.

The possibility of S24 achieving low-cost flagship status at around $600 remains uncertain, especially since both the S24 and S24 Plus are now marked "sold out" on Samsung's shared product page.

For the moment, this remains speculation, but be assured any updates on S24 stock or pricing changes will be reported. Meanwhile, considering a purchase of the Galaxy S25 while it's offered at its lowest price might be a wise choice.
