Samsung’s flagship phone, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, has suddenly stopped being sold in US stores without warning. The device is no longer available for purchase unlocked or through carriers. Only a few storage and color configurations remain in stock, leaving many customers out of luck.
However, Samsung still offers hope for those affected by the shortage. The company’s Certified Re-Newed program allows buyers to purchase refurbished phones from previous model years, such as the Galaxy S21 and S22 series. It is possible that 2024 models may join this program soon.
For Galaxy S25 buyers, the Galaxy S24 lineup offers attractive trade-in values, with Samsung offering up to $1,200 for some models. This means customers can potentially upgrade to a newer phone while still getting some money back for their old one. Although the Galaxy S24 Ultra is no longer available at its original price, fans should keep an eye on the Certified Re-Newed program for any future changes.
