Following the release of the Samsung Galaxy S24, tech fans can get its slightly older version at a major discount, but only for today.

Shoppers who take the plunge before the end of Thursday, January 25, could get the Samsung Galaxy S23 for as little as £149. As the smartphone originally retailed for £849 when it first hit shelves, it can be said that this is a major bargain, which is only available for a short time.

The S23 has been reduced to £699 due to the release of the new Galaxy S24, making for £150 savings - but this price can go even lower for those who act fast. Anyone who buys the phone from Samsung before tonight as they can claim an additional £100 cashback, reports the Express.

So how is that shoppers can nab this deal? This is due to to a special promotion currently running on Samsung's website - with a free pair of Galaxy Buds and a yearly subscription to Disney+ thrown in too.

Samsung's new price and the bonus £100 discount together and things then fall to £599. But what if you want even more money off that price?

Luckily, Samsung is still running its trade-in deals which make buying the S23 cheaper if you have a device you don't mind getting rid of. If you claim the maximum trade-in value of £450 you'll get the S23 for just £149 which is an incredible bargain.

Here are some of the trade-in prices available right now from Samsung.

This is a mighty deal but, as we mentioned earlier, the S23 is no longer the top dog in Samsung's lineup. That accolade now goes to the Galaxy S24 which was announced last week.

The main changes coming to the new Galaxy S24 include the introduction of impressive Galaxy AI features. These include translating calls in real-time, editing photos with just one tap and let you search for things online by simply highlighting something in a photo.

These new call makers also get faster processors, new colours and are a little more durable. If those upgrades don't bother you then check out the Galaxy S23, it's a great phone that's now at a bargain price.
