To me, the S24+ has the most practical upgrade in the series - with a higher resolution display with higher brightness, more RAM, and a larger battery capacity. This makes it the best buy in S24 lineup 💯

I'm still rocking my S21ultra and still a badass phone. 💯 facts

just picked this phone up a few days ago and watching 8k video's on YouTube is incredible

I thank you for the written review and the analytical video on the S24+ !

This middle child still needs some love from Samsung. That 3X optical zoom camera should have been a periscope camera.

Great review.

Slight correction however. There was no Exynos variant for s23, s23+ and s23 Ultra. All had a Snapdragon chipset.

(Maybe that's why s24+ is not performing in battery test like s23+)

Keep up the good work.

Great Video I just upgraded my galaxy s3 to the S 23 and its so much better . I finally saved enought for it

Samsung has finally returned to 2020's standards! A 1440p screen and 12 GB of RAM just like my S20+

Isnt LTPO display means you can go down to 1fps? Because my s23+ goes to 24fps

Last year's S23 series all had snapdragon SOCs, so you're wrong in saying that "just as last year samsung is using a different chipset depending on the region".

Thanks for your review!! I just bought my new S24 plus . For years I had Pixel phones (that I still love) but I want to try Samsung phones now 😊 (I always been using only Samsung tablets and google phones)

GSMArena, could you please tell me what is the 5G modem in the S24+ Exynos 2400 model ??? I thank you very much.

Purchased mine today - I can't wait! 👍🇦🇺

Got the ultra model just hrs ago. loving it!

Has anyone else noticed a slight static noise coming from the earpiece/top speaker during calls? I'm using an S24 Plus, and I've already replaced my phone once, but the issue persists.

Got My S24+ today after 10 long years with iPhone.
The display at QHUD is amazing and the camera is great too.
I got the Pixel 8 but I didn't like it but this S24+ will be my phone from now on.

Got this phone through signing up mobile data plan. Never did any research about this phone and i used it for awhile and i liked it. I dont know why Exynos makes everyone against it and i think it was ok ?

[JonaHanz-uhix]

I am viewing this episode with my new S24 Plus. The display is insanely good. I installed a glass anti-glare (yes, it is glass), and it is very clear even in sunlight. This is now my daily driver, replacing my OnePlus 11 and Pixel 7.

[warrenbraswell]

Upgraded to this from my S21 Ultra and have no complaints. I avoided previous upgrades because I did not want an S Pen but the other plus models didn't move the needle enough.
