The Galaxy S24 remains a capable compact phone, with strong performance, wireless charging, water and dust protection, and a dedicated 3x zoom camera.
The value question is different in 2026: refurbished units cost about $350, while better-condition or certified models can exceed $400.

I got back from MWC Barcelona Thursday, and this coming Friday I’m off to Austin for SXSW. I’m returning to that talkfest after a year off because for the first time since 2019, I’ll be contributing to the banter on the program–I’m moderating a panel about, of all things, video-game culture.
3/3/2026: Android Gets Location-Tracking Features That iOS Users Have Had for Ages, PCMag
This was the only post I had a client publish this week that I easily could have written from home.

3/4/2026: Slow Tech Uprising, Back Market
I moderated this panel about disposable tech at an event hosted by Back Market that also featured a screening of Dandora: A Fast Tech Story, a short film produced by that refurbished-gadgets marketplace.

3/4/2026: At MWC, SpaceX execs tout Starlink V2 – and a key carrier partner for it, Light Reading
My telecom trade-pub client asked me to cover SpaceX’s portion of this keynote Monday.

3/4/2026: AST SpaceMobile Has Big Cellular Satellite Plans for 2026. Can It Deliver?, PCMag
My last appointment on the show floor Tuesday was with AST president and chief strategy officer Scott Wisniewski, who talked about that satellite startup’s plans to bring a direct-to-cell service to market this year for carriers including AT&T and Verizon. For that to happen, both AST and its launch providers will need to step up their pace dramatically.
