If you’ve been holding off on getting a Samsung Galaxy S24, your patience might just pay off big time. The prices of Samsung’s flagship series have taken a nosedive, making this end-month the perfect moment to snag one — if you don’t mind jumping on a rapidly depreciating bandwagon, that is.
Over at Phone Place Kenya, you can now grab the Galaxy S24 for just Kshs 94,000 for the 8/256GB model. Yes, you read that right — a brand-new S24 for under 100K. If you’re looking for something a bit more powerful, the S24+ is holding steady at Kshs 105,000 for the 12/256GB model. But the real star of the show is the S24 Ultra, which has dropped to Kshs 128,000 for the 256GB variant, Kshs 144,000 for the 512GB model, and Kshs 178,000 for the 1TB version.
On the other side of the retail spectrum, Samsung Brandcart is offering the Galaxy S24 for Kshs 100,000 for the 8/256GB model. The S24+ matches Phone Place Kenya’s pricing at Kshs 105,000 for the 12/256GB model. If you’re eyeing the S24 Ultra, it’s now available for Kshs 138,000 for the 256GB model or Kshs 150,000 for the 512GB variant.
Why the big drop?
You might be wondering why the prices of Samsung’s flagship phones are plummeting faster than the Nairobi stock market on a bad day. Well, it could be a couple of things. Retailers might be looking to clear out stock they eagerly picked up earlier in the year, expecting customers to flock to their doors. Unfortunately for them, it seems many of us were content to window-shop and wait for a better deal. For others, tough economic times carried the day.
Or perhaps Samsung is playing the long game, pushing hard to move units before their shelves are filled with the shiny new Galaxy S25 series. And let’s not forget, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 are the new darlings of the tech world, stealing the spotlight from the S24 series. Samsung might just be giving a little nudge to ensure these devices find homes before they’re overshadowed by the next big thing.
Warranty or no warranty?
If you’re shopping at Phone Place Kenya, you’ve got a choice between the more affordable Dubai/UAE models — which come without a local warranty — and the East Africa models, which might cost a bit more but come with a reassuring 2-year warranty. It’s a classic case of choosing between a bigger discount or a little peace of mind.
If you’ve been eyeing the Galaxy S24 series, this could be your moment to shine. With prices this low, you might even consider upgrading to the Ultra for all those extra bells and whistles.
