The verified listing for this page is the Galaxy S24 Plus. The variant is Onyx Black, 512 GB.
The Galaxy S24+ is the large 2024 flagship, not the S25, not the Ultra, and not a case that borrowed the camera island. Two Black Fridays later it is still a specific phone people search for, usually because they want the bigger screen and the larger battery without stepping up to this year’s compact S25 or to an Ultra. The danger in 2026 is a listing that says S24+ in the keyword and S25, S23, or “Plus style” in the title. Read the model year before you read the discount.
Samsung’s S24+ is a 6.7-inch phone with a QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel and an adaptive refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz. The US version uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy and 12GB of RAM. Storage on this model starts at 256GB, with a 512GB step. There is no microSD slot. The frame is armored aluminum, not the titanium frame Samsung reserved for the Ultra that year. The glass and the seals carry an IP68 rating. That is splash and dust resistance with test conditions, not a license to swim.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus Black Friday Deals 2026: the phone you mean
The camera block is a 50-megapixel main, a 12-megapixel ultrawide, and a 10-megapixel 3x telephoto, plus a 12-megapixel front camera. The 3x optical camera is the reason to confirm you are not looking at an A-series or FE phone that crops a single sensor and calls it zoom. Video tools and Samsung’s processing are part of the phone. A title that only says “50MP” has not proved the telephoto is there.
Battery capacity is 4,900 mAh, which is the practical reason people pick the Plus over the smaller S24. Wired charging is specified up to 45W, and a 45W charger is often sold separately. Wireless charging is about 15W. Do not assume a brick is in the box because a lifestyle photo shows one. The contents line has to name it. A Black Friday “fast charge bundle” is only worth adding if you do not already own a charger that meets the rate.
Galaxy AI on this generation includes Circle to Search, Live Translate on supported calls through Samsung’s phone app, Note Assist for Samsung Notes, and Generative Edit for photos. Several of those need a Samsung account and a network connection. They are features of the phone, not a weekend bonus that disappears in December. They also are not a reason to skip checking that the unit is actually an S24+ rather than an S23 with a software skin. Circle to Search arrived on more recent Samsung phones, so the gesture alone does not identify the model.
Colors were sold under names such as Cobalt Violet, Marble Gray, and Onyx Black, and retailers shorten them. Match the color word in the title to the photo. The US unlocked model family is SM-S926U. An international S926B or a dual-SIM import can be a working phone and a warranty problem. If the listing hides the model code, you are guessing the region. Carrier-locked S24+ units are still in the market as paid-off phones and as renewed stock. Unlocked is the cleaner object unless you want that carrier’s band set on purpose.
The S24+ does not become an S25 because the calendar says 2026. The newer compact S25 is a 6.2-inch phone with a newer chip. The S25+ is the closer successor and a different model code. Buy the S24+ when you want this body, this battery, and this year’s-ago price pattern. Buy the S25 line when you want the newer chip and you have confirmed the size. Mixing them because both say Plus is how the wrong phone shows up.
Condition and carrier offers
New, renewed, and “on us” carrier deals are three purchases. A new unlocked phone has a simple return story. A renewed phone can be sensible if battery health and cosmetic grade are written down. Carrier offers that advertise a very small monthly price usually assume a trade-in, a new line, and bill credits spread over many months. Leaving the line early often kills the remaining credits. Add only the credits you will actually collect.
Trade-in value has to match the phone you can send. A cracked screen or a swollen battery drops the quote after the order, not before. If the S24+ only looks attractive once that credit is perfect, and your old phone is not perfect, redo the math. Cases for the S24+ do not fit the S24, the S25, or the Ultra. A bundle that says “case included” without the model is how the wrong case arrives.
Black Friday buying advice
Write the cart down before you compare anything: Galaxy S24+, US unlocked SM-S926 class if you need US warranty support, storage, color, new or renewed. A 512GB renewed phone is not the same offer as a 256GB new phone. Decide which difference you care about, then look at prices. Use the live page. A number printed in a guide cannot follow storage and color through a weekend.
Prefer a seller you can return to. Amazon as the seller, Samsung, or a known retailer is easier than a holiday storefront with a message form for support. When the phone arrives, open settings and read the model code before you peel every film. Check the display, both cameras, the charging port, and activation on your line. Do it inside the return window, which gets slower after Black Friday weekend.
Skip listings that are only a case, a screen protector, or an “S24 Plus style” skin. Skip any title that swaps in Ultra camera claims, such as a 200-megapixel sensor or an S Pen. The S24 Ultra has the pen. The Plus does not. If the pen is the feature you wanted, you are on the wrong page, and a discount will not add a slot that was never in this body.
Delivery dates move when one color sells through. Read the date on the configuration in your cart, not the date on a different finish. A phone that arrives after a trip is a different purchase.
The Galaxy S24+ remains a 6.7-inch QHD flagship with a 4,900 mAh battery, a real 3x telephoto, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy in the US, and 256GB to start. Black Friday 2026 is a reasonable time to buy that exact phone. Match the year, the Plus, the region, the storage, and the condition. Then check the live price and leave the S25, the Ultra, and the cases in their own tabs.
