The Galaxy A24's retail price is 396,000 KRW. With additional retailer subsidies of up to 15% of the official subsidy, LG Uplus customers can purchase the phone for as low as 22,250 KRW depending on the plan. This amounts to approximately a 94% discount. However, receiving a 24-month contract fee discount of 25% is cheaper than the official subsidy.

It supports 25W wired charging and is equipped with a large 5,000mAh battery. It has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. A 1TB microSD card can be added. Samsung Pay is also supported. It allows easy online and offline payments based on Near Field Communication (NFC) and Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) technologies.
