After a phone upgrade on a tight budget? Giffgaff has just dropped an unbelievable deal that’s a big money saver.
If ever there was proof that it’s worth looking at last year’s phones whenever it comes time to upgrade, the latest Galaxy S24 offer fits the bill quite well. As you may know, the phone originally came with a price tag of £799, but now it’s available for much less.
Head on over to Giffgaff right now and you can pick up a refurbished Samsung Galaxy S24 for as little as £319, which is quite a bit cheaper than mid-range phones like the Pixel 9a and even the Galaxy A56.

Get the Galaxy S24 whilst it’s cheap
The Samsung Galaxy S24 is now just a fraction of its original price, letting you upgrade to this modern phone on the cheap.

While it might be tempting to opt for the cheapest price possible, I recommend getting a ‘like new’ refurbished unit instead at £429. Not only is that the best grade possible from Giffgaff’s options (and worth the expense), but it also comes with a two-year warranty as standard for added peace of mind.
It’s also worth pointing out that in order to nab the offer at any grade, you need to add a Giffgaff SIM to your purchase, but if you pick up one of the rolling 30-day SIMs then you can cancel it right away and avoid any further costs beyond the first month.
Even though it’s since been replaced by the newer Samsung Galaxy S25, the S24 is no slouch in the current line-up of Android phones, partially down to just how incremental Samsung’s updates tend to be nowadays.
You’ve got all the key features you could ask for, including a bright yet pocketable 6.2-inch AMOLED display, three rear-facing cameras that can handle pretty much any scenario you throw at them, and a powerful chipset that can take on everyday tasks with ease.
Where the S24 really shines is in its Galaxy AI features. In his review for the phone, Editor Max Parker wrote: “I love how Galaxy AI has been built into the Notes app, allowing it to transcribe meetings accurately and quickly. It can easily tell the difference between speakers too, and in my tests, the results were just as good as the Pixel’s excellent Recorder app.”
That’s just one example of how Samsung’s AI comes into play, but it can be found in nearly every aspect of the device, including photo editing and translation services. Plus, the Galaxy S24 was promised seven years of software updates from the point of launch, so the phone still has plenty of life ahead of it, providing even better value for money.
