Samsung Galaxy S24+ Review

The Samsung Galaxy S24+ is the Goldilocks phone in Samsung’s 2024 lineup of premium Android smartphones. It’s considerably more affordable than the S24 Ultra we reviewed, yet you still get a big 6.7” QHD AMOLED 120Hz 2600 nit display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (in the US, Exynos in some other regions) and Samsung’s new AI features. The display size and battery capacity are up from last year, the phone comes with 7 years of OS updates and 5G is standard.

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. Watching from Somalia

What didn't you like about the Pixel 8?

[@ramatgan1]

@@charlesdale1428 It felt cheap and the display was crap. The S24+ feels a bit cheap too I must say compared to my 14 Pro. I think the metals Apple uses is much better but the display of the S24+ is great and I had a good deal. free 512GB upgrade and a free Samsung Watch 6 too when I bought the phone.

Lisa... As always, great reviews, following from years now. Thanks again.

[@pauldt]

First time that I've seen one of your reviews. Nicely done. I returned the S24U yesterday. The S24U was uncomfortable when compared to the S24+. Although similar in size, the S24+ just feels better, IMO, and I have large hands. The unresolved display issues with the S24U, (my S10's display was considerably better than the S24U's), along with the return window closing, I dumped the Ultra and would never go back, but that's just me. Ordered the S24+ 512 gig but it's backordered until the end of the month. Should be a nice upgrade from my S10!

I just ordered an S24+, I've been living with a S8+ forever, with a horribly cracked screen. It is finally time to upgrade! Thanks for the video!

[@dr.fitprofessor4363]

Over the last few years, I really feel that the plus models have been underpowered but, not this year. In fact, Samsung has given them some much needed upgrades in the form of quad HD display, 12 g of ram, larger battery capacity and a much nicer build. It comes much closer to being worth the $1,000 price tag that Samsung is asking. Once more, if you don't care about an s pen or some gimmicky titanium it may be a better choice than the ultra.

[@TomUK7]

This phone is very tempting with the upgraded screen and ram/storage on base model but I think I'll hang on to my s21fe for awhile longer. The cameras don't appear significantly better to warrant an upgrade. The speedier processor would be great but not essential.

[@utkua.8474]

I own the S24+, had it for two weeks now and the color issue I do have but I'm not complaining because there is a bigger issue being grainy display which no big youtuber seems to be talking about. Thousands of people are having this issue where they can see obvious fixed grainy paper-like texture. This seems to be a hardware defect according to people with optical microscopes and it's horrible. I will be getting a replacement once the software update doesn't fix it.

[@baladi921]

This appears to be an Ultra issue. My S24+ is just fine

If you don’t need the stylus and anti-glare display, you can go with the S24 Plus since it now supports QHD+ and an increased battery (from 4700 to 4900 mAh).

[@sharkfintech5893]

​@Gurenn83 You also lose the Ultra's "Space" zoom lens/sensor (and its accompanying Nightography) with the S24+.

[@sharkfintech5893]
