Samsung introduced the Galaxy S24 in India in a new configuration. The 128GB variant is the base model and replaces the 8GB + 256GB that was announced at launch. The smartphone is also offered in 8GB + 512GB option. With the newly launched offering, interested consumers now get the option to choose between three variants depending on their needs. Read on to know if the Samsung Galaxy S24 base variant is worth considering and makes sense. 

Samsung Galaxy S23 128GB price and availability

Galaxy S24 128GB

The newly announced variant of the Samsung Galaxy S24 has the same 8GB RAM as the other two models. However, the internal storage has been reduced to 128GB from the earlier base version of 256 GB.

With this, the phone now starts at a lower price tag of Rs 74,999 compared to 256GB’s Rs 79,999 price tag. Whereas, the 512GB model is priced at Rs 89,999. 

The 128GB variant is available for purchase from the Samsung e-store. The phone is offered in Amber Yellow, Cobalt Violet, Onyx Black, and Marble Grey colours.

1. Samsung Galaxy S23 128GB variant offers

Samsung is offering a flat Rs 5,000 instant discount on HDFC Bank credit and debit card transactions. This makes the Galaxy S23 available for Rs 69,999.

If you cannot avail of the bank offer, there is an instant exchange bonus worth up to Rs 10,000 on old smartphones.

2. Is the base configuration worth considering?

With bank offer or exchange value on older smartphones, the base 128GB variant can be purchased at a lower price of under Rs 70,000. It seems like an ideal option for those who don’t want a higher storage variant.

This is because 128GB is often more than enough for normal users. Galaxy S24’s competitors, Pixel 8 and iPhone 15, also start at 128GB. 

However, if you download a lot of movies and TV shows on OTT apps for offline viewing or intensive games, it’s a prudent choice to go for the 256GB variant. This will avoid any troubles of less storage space in the future.

Additionally, the price difference between the 128GB and 256GB is only Rs 5,000 before any discounts. 

3. Samsung Galaxy S24 core specifications

As for the core specifications, the Samsung Galaxy S24 features a 6.2-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate and a 2,600 nits peak brightness. For protection against accidental damages and scratches, the screen is layered with Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

The smartphone has a triple-rear camera setup headlined by a 50MP OIS main sensor. The Galaxy S24 is equipped with an Exynos 2400 SoC coupled with 8GB RAM and up to 512GB storage.

A 4,000mAh battery fitted inside keeps the phone running with support for 25W wired, 15W wireless, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging.
