Where to Buy Samsung S24 Ultra

[_Cathy_]

I badly need to replace my Samsung Note 9 which I bought in 2018. I always buy flagship since I don't replace my phone until it dies. I feel like my phone doesn't have long since the battery lasts only 4 hrs and it gets hot when I charge it.

I will be travelling on May and I don't feel comfortable with a phone that dies in 4 hrs. My problem is I don't have the funds to buy a new phone so I figured to get the S24 instead so I could save a bit of money? Is that okay?

Below are the prices

Samsung.com offers 36 mos at 0% interest but it's so much more expensive:

s25 ultra 512GB ₱2,610.83/mo. or ₱93,990.00
s24 ultra 256 gb ₱1,860.83/mo. or ₱66,990.00

Lazada Samsung official only offers 12 mos 0% interest

s25 ultra 512 gb P78,890
s24 ultra 256 gb ₱48,500

I think I will just go for the S24 but my issue is why such large price difference and if it is safe to buy online? I prefer to buy sa physical store. Also, even if Lazada is cheaper, mabigat sakin P4k per month since I don't know when I will have income again so I need to stretch my money as long as I can.

I don't need a powerful phone since I only use it for normal apps and taking photos.

EDIT I CANNOT buy from Lazada installment because it needs a BDO card
