The right reflex

When a seller offers you a Galaxy S24, ask for the exact model name, the storage and the IMEI number. The names in this family are Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+ ("plus"), Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S24 FE. Written as one word ("S24ultra"), it is indeed the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

7 years of updates: until when?

The whole S24 series is supported for 7 years from launch: until about January 2031 for the S24, S24+ and S24 Ultra, October 2031 for the S24 FE.

The S24 series is the first for which Samsung promised 7 years of Android and security updates. That is more than the S23 series (5 years of security).

In 2026, is a Galaxy S24 still a good buy?

Yes, especially the S24 Ultra: you keep titanium, the S Pen and 7 years of updates for less than a recent Ultra.

The Galaxy S24 models have very good strengths: a 120 Hz screen, Galaxy AI and support until 2031. What you give up against the S25 and then the S26: a newer chip. To compare the following generations, read our guides Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S26. For an older model, read Galaxy S23.

SIM or eSIM: check before you buy

The version you receive may vary depending on its country of origin. Ask your adviser which version is delivered (nano-SIM and eSIM), then check with your network (MTN, Orange or Camtel) that eSIM is available if needed.

Before you buy: three checks

For a phone of this value, check three points: the phone is brand new, its IMEI is clean and the warranty is clear.

  1. Brand new and sealed. A genuine new Galaxy arrives in a sealed box. Our guide on how to buy a phone safely lists the points to check.
  2. Clean IMEI. Our guide on checking the IMEI shows how to do it in a few minutes.
  3. Clear warranty. Find our terms on the warranty and returns page and the delivery page.

You then order on WhatsApp, without creating an account. Your adviser replies in under 5 minutes and confirms the colour, the storage and payment by Orange Money or MTN MoMo.
