Samsung Galaxy S24+ Review: A Big Flagship Without Ultra Bulk

Verdict

The Galaxy S24+ remains an excellent large-screen Samsung flagship. Its display, battery, software support and 3x camera are all strong, though the camera hardware and charging speeds are conservative compared with newer Chinese rivals.

The Galaxy S24+ is the practical large-screen member of Samsung’s 2024 flagship family. Its 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display runs at up to 120Hz and remains one of the strongest reasons to choose it over cheaper Galaxy models.

The 4,900mAh battery gives the Plus better endurance than the smaller S24, while 45W wired charging is faster than Samsung’s base flagship. Wireless charging remains much slower than the fastest competitors.

Samsung’s camera system uses a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide and 10MP 3x telephoto. It is versatile and reliable, but the hardware is conservative beside rivals that use larger sensors or higher-resolution telephotos. Performance also varies by region because Samsung shipped different chipsets in different markets; the PhonicSpecs regional record should be checked before purchase.

Software support is a major strength. Samsung launched the S24 generation with a seven-year support commitment, giving the phone unusual longevity. At discounted pricing, the S24+ remains one of the safer big-screen Android purchases.

Buying advice

Buy the S24+ if you want a large premium Galaxy without the S Pen or Ultra weight. It is particularly attractive when discounted, but compare pricing with the S24 Ultra because the older Ultra can offer more camera hardware.
