NEW Galaxy S24+ (Why I'm Most Excited About Samsung's S24 Plus)

The new Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus offers nearly identical specs to the Ultra but at a significantly lower price. It is refined this year to be boxier and if you don't care for the s-pen or 100x zoom, this is the phone to buy!

Additional review notes:

This is the brand new Samsung Galaxy S24+ and phone you would buy if you wanted the very best from Samsung but don’t care for an S-Pen or photos zoomed in 100x. There is a lot to like about this phone.

Boxier design!!!

Onyx Black, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet and Amber Yellow

Samsung finally gave all three phones flat displays this year
6.7” QHD+ display
.1” larger than last year’s 6.6” S23+
Better than the FHD 6.2” on regular
Technically better pixel density than the 6.8” ultra

Much like the Ultra, this comes in 4 colors Onyx Black, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet and Amber Yellow
But slightly different colors vs the ultra… weirdly

CAMERAS
Same specs as last year and as the S24 regular

12MP selfie, 12MP ultrawide, 50MP primary, 10MP 3x tele

AI Features
Samsung baked AI features into the phone, with 4 main ones that stood out to me
There is an AI button throughout the UI now

i) Circle to search
ii) Chat enhancement (translate, change tone, check spelling/grammar)
ii) Translation in calls, text, voice recordings, etc. For example, Voice recorder transcribes, separates by speaker, and adds to notes - easily translated to other languages
iii) AI summarizer, (also auto format, spell checker, and translation in Notes)

Internals
Battery is larger -4900 vs 4700 mAh but screen is larger too, so I will test
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
12GB RAM & 256/512GB
45W wired charging is slower than ultra but same as last year
Same fast wireless charging 2.0 as the ultra
Wireless power share like ultra


7 years of OS updates and 7 years of security updates

Weirdly has wifi 6E instead of wifi 7 as ultra has

Still bluetooth 5.3, IP68

This will be amazing for anyone who doesn’t care about an S-pen but still wants the best from samsung. Really no major compromises compared to the ultra other than the s-pen and the telephoto lens… which is kind of a big deal

Thanks for checking out the s24 plus and not just the Ultra

[NoshikiYT]

Finally someone checking out the s24 plus and not just the ultra

[tek]

These upgrades on the s24+ were exactly what I wanted. Instant preorder for me. So glad I don't need to buy ultra just for 1440p display.

[omarking]

7 years of software and security updates, is crazy good!

[joseph__morton]

The + versions are my fave versions. I'd never use an S Pen, but the + versions gets so overlooked 😮

[shawn.credit]

Ultra specs minus s pen and Ultra camera. Ultra camera is overkill for most folks and the 12GB RAM in the S24+ is clutch! ✊

[starblissgames]

I love how this years plus model looks, the thinner bezels and smaller front facing camera makes it look very elegant. The resolution and base 12gb ram is also really nice.

[slater]

Upgrading from s10e to s24+. Huge upgrade imo

[paullewis]

Really appreciate you focusing on the S24 plus instead of the ultra, the internet is buzzing with ultra news but this years S24 plus model seems to have the most updates compared to last years S23 model, I’m definitely going with this

[mengyuanxian]

I didn't buy a S23+ last year because I don't like its screen resolution which is the same as S23. Samsung finally upgrades the screen resolution for S24+ this year, which makes my one-year waiting worthwhile.

[KhushwinderSingh-kxjd]

The plus never gets enough love each year . So stoked that it got QHD+

[jkmorbo]

So tired of everyone covering only the ultra. Thanks for showing us all 3!

[upevr]

I miss the pearl colors from the S10. They really need to bring those back.

[jnch]

One of my biggest complaint with the s24+ vs the s24 ultra is the lack of snapdragon in europe :(

[shawnvegavelez]

The S24 Ultra is what I'd get if the price didn't matter. Since it does I'm going for the S24+.

[nrxhoqd]

The major and key emhancement of s24 plus is new qhd+ display like ultras. Now this phone is indeed flagship, not "under"-flagship. And can be recomended to buy.

[debojitchowdhury]

best thing is that the S23 line-up got cheaper 😁

[Blyatuber]

Grey or purple, that's the biggest dilemma I'm currently facing right now, these two colours are the best ones imo.
Wanting to upgrade to S24+ from A50 btw.

[TheMark_em]

Finally! Someone remembered there were other models revealed. Thank you, Mike!

[markbc]

Have been thinking about the S24+ -and you've answered all my questions! Great video! Thanks! 👍
