Best Buy is offering some incredible new Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra discounts (with a catch)

Who wants to save big on one of the best Android phones money can buy right now? Everybody? That's great, because Best Buy just so happens to be outdoing itself, as well as Amazon, Samsung, and everyone else, as far as Galaxy S23 series discounts are concerned today.

Yes, the S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra powerhouses are all cheaper than ever before with no device trade-in required. But since we're still a couple of months away from Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales, these hot new Best Buy deals do come with one important string attached.

Specifically, you'll have to opt for upfront carrier activation on Verizon or AT&T to slash $250, $350, and $450 off the regular prices of the aforementioned Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra respectively. While the smallest and cheapest member of the family can only be had at a towering $250 discount in an entry-level 128GB storage configuration, its big brothers are available at new record low prices with both 256 and 512 gigs of local digital hoarding room.

The "vanilla" S23 model therefore starts at a measly $549.99, with the S23+ and S23 Ultra fetching as little as $649.99 and $749.99 respectively in their own base 256GB variants, while twice as much internal storage space will set you back $769.99 and $929.99.

Those are some extremely reasonable prices for what these current-gen Samsung high-enders offer, which includes beautiful screens, outstanding cameras, and stellar software support across the board. Of course, the Galaxy S23 Ultra rises above the pack with a 200MP primary shooter on its back and a handy S Pen included as standard in its (reduced) price, but if you like your phones small (by 2023 standards), the "regular" Galaxy S23 is definitely worth taking into consideration.

Then you have the Galaxy S23 Plus, which is in the awkward middle child position, failing to stand out in any meaningful way when compared to its siblings while delivering excellent value of its own at these latest discounts. And no, that fact is not changed by the imminence of the Galaxy S24 roster... or the recent iPhone 15 series launch.
