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 donât 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
6.7â QHD+ display
.1â larger than last yearâs 6.6â S23+
Better than the FHD 6.2â on regular
Technically better pixel density than the 6.8â 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 doesnât 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 dea

Thanks for checking out the s24 plus and not just the Ultra
-
Finally someone checking out the s24 plus and not just the ultra
-
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.
-
7 years of software and security updates, is crazy good!
-
The + versions are my fave versions. I'd never use an S Pen, but the + versions gets so overlooked đŽ
-
Ultra specs minus s pen and Ultra camera. Ultra camera is overkill for most folks and the 12GB RAM in the S24+ is clutch! â
-
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.
-
Upgrading from s10e to s24+. Huge upgrade imo
-
I miss the pearl colors from the S10. They really need to bring those back.
-
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, Iâm definitely going with this
-
Finally someone reviewing s24 plus
-
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.
-
best thing is that the S23 line-up got cheaper đ
-
One of my biggest complaint with the s24+ vs the s24 ultra is the lack of snapdragon in europe :(
-
So tired of everyone covering only the ultra. Thanks for showing us all 3!
-
Have been thinking about the S24+ -and you've answered all my questions! Great video! Thanks! đ
-
Prior to this year there was always a couple of substantial reasons to upgrade to get the Ultra over the Plus but Samsung have almost made the S24+ 'too good' to the point that it's actually the better phone IMO.
-
The plus never gets enough love each year . So stoked that it got QHD+
-
Of all the three choices, this is the one I'll go with once I decide if I'm going to finally trade in my S21 Ultra. I seldom, if ever, use the S-Pen anyway. The S24 Plus is actually closer to the Ultra variant than the vanilla one for a change, but for $300 less.
