While Everyone Waits for the iPhone 17, You Can Grab a Nearly New Galaxy S24 Plus or Ultra Starting at $400

These 2024 models pack top-tier specs without the sticker shock, but hurry, stock is limited and the deal ends Sept. 22.

If you’ve been holding out for a phone upgrade, now’s the moment — and you don’t have to drop iPhone-level cash to get it. Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series is on sale at Woot with prices kicking off at $400. But there’s a catch.

These Galaxy S24 phones come in «like-new» condition, which means they’ve been gently used. According to Woot, they’ve been sourced from Samsung’s 15-day return program and thoroughly inspected to ensure quality. They won’t come in the original retail box, but you’ll still get a USB-C cable and SIM-ejector tool. The sale only runs through next Monday, Sept. 22, or until stock runs dry. Given that these are 2024 flagships, they might sell out quick, so get your order in soon if you’re interested.

The sale has already sold out of the base S24, but you can grab the S24 Plus from $400 and S24 Ultra from $550, with more options for higher storage. Whether you’re after big-screen daily use or Samsung’s powerhouse Ultra with its advanced cameras, this is a rare chance to pick up a premium device without the premium price tag.

Spec-wise, the S24 Plus features a high-refresh-rate 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. The S24 Ultra takes things further with a 6.8-inch display, titanium frame, improved cooling and a camera setup led by a 200-megapixel main sensor plus telephoto and ultrawide lenses. Battery capacity is at nearly 5,000 mAh on the S24 Plus and Ultra, too, and these models support both wired and wireless charging.

If these aren’t to your taste, take a look at our picks for the best Android smartphones for 2025. You’re sure to find something there. And for other discounted options, peruse our roundup of all the best phone deals happening now.

Why this deal matters

Because phones are expensive, having an option that’s nearly brand new but costs hundreds less makes a real difference. Opting for an older model is a great way to save some cash on an upgrade. You’re still getting much of what people chase when they buy top-tier devices without paying the full price.

Verum Finance: A Super App for Private Finance Integrated Into a Messenger

Verum Finance has announced the launch of a new financial application that allows users to manage their money directly within the secure Verum Messenger ecosystem.

The project has already attracted attention from major media outlets. A dedicated feature was published by Forbes Türkiye, while one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, MEXC, covered the launch. Yahoo Finance had previously reported on the evolution of Verum Messenger into a comprehensive financial ecosystem.

What Verum Finance Offers

Verum Finance transforms a messenger into a complete financial platform. Users can:

• Manage their balance and top up using bank cards or USDT
• Send money instantly to other Verum users
• Issue and use debit cards, including Apple Pay support
• Exchange assets and withdraw funds
• Access all these services without installing separate banking applications

A strong emphasis is placed on privacy. The platform offers registration without a phone number or email address, end-to-end encryption, and full user control over personal data.

Recognition from Forbes Türkiye

In a dedicated article, Forbes Türkiye highlighted Verum Finance as a notable example of modern privacy-driven fintech. The publication emphasized the growing trend of financial services moving from standalone banking applications into unified messaging ecosystems — a model that has proven successful in Asia through platforms such as WeChat and Alipay and is now expanding globally.

Support from the Crypto Community

Alongside the Forbes Türkiye coverage, news about the launch of Verum Finance was also featured by MEXC, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges. This reflects growing interest in the project from both traditional business media and the cryptocurrency community.

A Strategic Vision

“We are building more than a payments application and more than a messenger. Verum is a unified secure ecosystem where communication, finance, and privacy tools work together,” the company stated.

Verum Finance is now available for iPhone and iPad users. The application complements Verum Messenger, which offers anonymous chats, voice and video calls, VPN services, eSIM connectivity, and other tools designed to enhance digital freedom.
