2/12: Both the S23+ and S23 Ultra are back in stock. If you want one, place your order soon.
Samsung’s latest flagship phone, the Samsung Galaxy S23, launched this February. This year’s best deal is not from Samsung directly, but from Google Fi. The current offer gives you an instant $500 off the S23 or S23+, or $600 off the S23 Ultra, plus a free storage upgrade to the next tier.
- S23: $299.99 (256 GB)
- S23+: $499.99 (512 GB)
- S23 Ultra: $599.99 (512 GB) — currently out of stock, but it does get restocked from time to time
Offer Requirements
- Go to the Google Fi Store (our affiliate link; new users can get $20), sign up, and purchase an eligible S23 phone. The listed price already reflects the discount.
- Wait for the phone to arrive.
- Activate Fi within 30 days of the phone shipment date. If you are a new Fi customer, you must port in a number from another carrier (the carrier must support data, voice, and text). Existing Fi customers do not need to port in.
- Keep the service active for 120 days. Important: the Fi SIM card absolutely cannot be used in another phone, but using another SIM card in the S23 is fine.
Each account is limited to one discounted phone. If you are on a Fi family plan, each Google account can receive the discount on one phone.
Port-in
Based on current data points, Google Fi’s promotion has been working fine with numbers from Google Voice or NumberBarn. However, the terms do not actually allow those numbers, so to be safe, we recommend buying a number from Ting or Boost Mobile to port in instead.
Inventory
Demand for the S23 Ultra is very high right now, so it is often out of stock. If you need one, keep checking back, since inventory does show up from time to time.
Summary
For Samsung’s 2023 flagship phones, this Google Fi discount is currently the best available deal. For the S23, one of today’s flagship Android phones, this price is very attractive. If you are interested, don’t miss it.
