[@tonymarenno9568]

I also like that there's no price bump from last year's model. The price hike on the Ultra felt really unwarranted

[@alexandruciordas4941]

I fee like they should made s24, 24+ models and s24 pro, s24 pro+ models with the same casing. Ditching the ultra and keeping the costa more even.

[@Konvinced89]

Yes, and the excuse that it was to defray the cost of provisioning servers for the AI features feels empty. All of the phones have AI, so why did only S24U buyers get stuck with the bill? The marketing was misleading as well, as only a few of the AI features are processed on the hardware.

[@rzawistowski33]

Its cuz they upped the base memory

Yeah, glad I traded in my 23 ultra for it. Much more easy to handle. Don’t miss the SPen, extra cameras or sharp corners and weight off it. Way more manageable, especially in pockets.

Watch android authority's video. Techmo also did a video on exynos s24 vs snapdragon s24 but his exynos s24 was defective. How do we know that? His exynos s24 lasted less than s23 while everyone else's exynos s24(GSMarena's for example) lasted more than s23. Techmo's unit also scored a lot lower than usual at benchmarks. Also his unit got upto 52 degrees celsius while no one else managed to get it beyond 47 degrees

[@BiscuitNgravy13]

It's really the best phone in the lineup based on value. Most people don't need the Ultra, S Pen goes unused and zoom not used, etc. But people mainly buy it for status or, maybe someday I'll use the S Pen or zoom. Never do.

Thank you for sharing all your information I really appreciate it. It helped in making my decision. Got it on release date so I was able to get the violet and free upgrade. Just paid for charger and case since I traded old phone 👍

[@TYASUMMERS]

Thank you for this video, and for providing more visibility on the S24+! I plan on keeping my S23 Ultra (because besides my Note 9, it's the GOAT). However, I traded my zFlip 5 for the S24+ in cobalt violet to use as a backup, and it's such an awesome phone!

[@MuhammadO19]

I got S23 Ultra last year, and then I regretted not getting the plus model, mostly because of the weight, it took me a while to get used to the Ultra weight especially with 60 grams case (later switched to a 30 gram lighter case). With S24+, Samsung did a good job for US customers, but outside US, they are using Exynos which is not as good as SD (performance, heat, and battery)

[@madcapper6]

Had the S22+ from Amazon Renewed. Wasn't planning on upgrading but with all the improvements to the S24+ along with the pre-order deal ($1120 phone for $449 after the trade in) it was too good to pass up. The S22+ still had 95% battery health but the difference in battery life on the S24+ is unbelievable. Thermals are much better as well. Qualcomm really did a good job optimizing the Snapdragon Gen 3 over the Gen 1. There are so many more reasons to upgrade, even from the S23+. Besides the optimized chipset, there's the QHD+ screen, the AI, and the 7 years of OS and security updates. And last I checked they are still offering some sweet deals on the S24 lineup past the pre-order period. As for the S23+, from what I've been hearing, on this channel and others, the Snapdragon Gen 2 was significantly more optimized than the Gen 1 too so maybe going from the Gen 2 to the Gen 3 alone probably wouldn't be worth the upgrade. But the other reasons already mentioned might be.

[@polamidget1926]

I have the ultra 5 days and i hate the weight and size of it. .im returning it. It doesnt fit with my life falls out of pockets, i run around with kids all day and it a great phone but i cant see myself keeping this phone.

Truthfully, I chose the OnePlus 12 over this but, I really love what Samsung did with the plus this year. They finally gave it the upgrades that it needed to warrant the $1,000 price tag. In fact, quad hd. 12 gigabytes of ram, a larger battery and nicer build quality is everything. In past years this model just didn't warrant the price tag.

I have had this phone a month now. My first Samsung (but all my phones have been Androids), and it's amazing.

I traded my S23 Ultra for S24 Plus. No regrets. Same size as my iPhone 15 and more manageable. I'm looking forward to your review. Safe travels.

[@edubfromktown]

S24+ is the right thing for my needs. The pre-order of 512 GB for the price of 256 GB, decent trade-in value for prior Samsung models and $150 credit for accessories was a solid deal. Other than paying for a phone over a contract term instead of outright for unlocked, it really comes down to data usage. I rarely exceed 5 GB of data in a month so having to purchase a triple or higher monthly cost carrier plan that is eligible for a "free" 24+ mobile was not worth it. I get 10 GB of data per month for $15 total and purchased an unlocked SD3 24+

[@JohnJohnson-jm8ku]

My wife has S23+. It is still a great phone. I’d never use the sharpest possible resolution anyway. Refresh rate is more important and 120hz is a perfect compromise. Of course S24+ is better, but S23+ is still a great purchase.
