Galaxy S24+

And for what it's worth, not to be /that/ guy, but I've had a Samsung Galaxy S24+ going on 2 years now and it's the only phone I've ever had in my life that I haven't had any issues at all. It just seems to keep up with everything without issues. Downside is the lack of security though.

What I like about the S24+ is its perfect size and weight AND it now has a QHD+ screen resolution option just like in Ultra compared to S23+. [...] I find my phone too big and heavy now. I might switch back to Flip or get the S24+.

I have a S24+ and Anubis often runs poorly for me and fails. I tend to frequent tech related sites so browsing on my phone has been miserable the last couple months. I checked the value of navigator.hardwareConcurrency on my phone and it returns 9... [...] It looks like setting light performance mode in device optimisations (I don't game on my phone) turns off the S24s sole Cortex-X4.

I'm generally annoyed with the amount of processing going on in modern phone cameras, they often take pictures that "look fine" on the screen, until you zoom in to native resolution and discovered most of it is some fever-dream of approximations, it's amazing that we (people) are accepting this.. Lots of fine memories degraded by cheating cameras.. It's annoying especially because at a glance, the pictures taken by my S24+ look just fine, and it sometimes makes me not pull out the aging DSLR.. but then when I get the pictures onto my PC and want to actually look at them.. [...]

I just this weekend """upgraded""" from an S9+ to an S24+, losing the 3.5mm jack, but not without the exact sentiment of the author. I looked at every possible option to retain my jack, but ultimately found myself forced into either a new Samsung or Pixel due to their commitment to an actually reasonable-ish update lifetime promise of 7-ish years. [...] I upgraded ONLY because I'm uncomfortable not having security updates/patches. [...] Upon quick tests, I think I even prefer the camera on my S9+. I absolutely, passionately hate Bluetooth. [...] I hate the pain in the ass of pairing. [...] The manufactures know this, but know it pales in comparison to the profit of some new bluetooth headphones. [...]

It's finally here, One UI 7.0 for Galaxy S24 Plus and I'm glad. Been using my S24 Plus & Pixel 8 Pro on and off and I do enjoy both, there are a few things that I prefer with Sammie. I'm going back to my S24 Plus with the new update and see what has improved. [...]

[...] Good battery efficiency, doesn't heat up like my S21 Ultra did, and does the full day easily if you are a regular user. Cameras are amazing, it's fast, and when it reaches 3/4 years of use i will just get a battery replacement and carry on with it because the 7y of OS updates will keep it alive for a long time

I have the 22 ultra and I'm switching to the 24+ mainly because of size and the fact that I have never used my s-pen. It's a bonus that I'll be saving some money. Very very glad that the s24+ will have QHD+ with adaptive display as well

I have the s24 plus. [...] It is fast, decent/good batterylife, beautiful screen, good brightness, feels good in the hand also, sound is good. Selfie camera is good, maybe not the nr 1 in it but for me good enough. [...] Maybe 65/80 watt charging and 5x zoom camera, now it is 3x. [...] The exynos is no problem by the s24 plus.

Hey NL, i took your advice with the snapdragon and emulation needs for me and got the s24 ultra, and i can confidently say that it does pretty good with emulation although i havnt done alot since im waiting for my cooler to arrive which then il be able to run at a smooth frame rate without any thermal throttling. Battery life has been pretty good as well as connection it gets 5g majority of the times with decent signal. [...]

Been using since Feb 2024 Battery sucks if not using wifi. [...] With Wifi u get 6 hours. [...]

I walked in to Best Buy looking to buy the S24 Ultra and came out in love with the S24 Plus instead 😂 the flat edges and rounded corners feel so confortable in the hand. [...] One more thing I would add is that the battery capacity is almost the same. Being a smaller display maybe you get better battery life on the plus series? [...]

I just bought this on ebay 4 weeks ago and i think i hit the jackpot cause on FHD i get around 10 hours of screen on time and on QHD i get over 9 hours hours of screen on time. The phone is amazing considering i upgraded from my S21ultra

Moved from the S22 Ultra to this one cause the battery on the Ultra got worse over the years but I was surprised on how good it is on this exynos version. I get over 8 hours of screen time with still some juice left. Really happy using the S24+ & now I don't have to worry about upgrading any time soon.

S24+ is my first galaxy without S pen for last 12 years or smth. It's amazing, battery is amazing, weight and size is much more comfortable, camera is amazing. I barely notice the difference in casual photo shoot and don't even remember what S pen is

I just bought my S24+ w/ Exynos 2400 set at FHD+, standard performance, adaptive motion (120 Hz refresh rate), 5G on, Bluetooth on, and after using for 5 days, I usually have around 5-6 hours of SOT that uses 80%-90% battery, mostly for social media browsing, Spotify and online shopping, without gaming. My fully charged battery usually lasts only around 20-21 hours before fully discharged. For me this is quite disappointing since all new phones I bought in the past had batteries that could last over a day with similar usage. [...] But all the YouTube reviews seems to be praising the battery life of S24+ w/ Exynos 2400 and demo battery drain tests which mine could not replicate.

[...] Top reason: trade-in credit and killer deal I got on 23+ purchase made the upgrade worthy of serious consideration. Other reasons: Display is 30% sharper and 50% brighter than the Galaxy S23+ Finally now, the more compact cousin of the pokey/bloaty S24 Ultra has legit battery and display(higher PPI, even!) swagger. Battery runtime is awesome (2 days easily on an 80% charge that has 25-30% remaining on day 3) Double the storage 50% more RAM 7 years of software updates may be a bit of a stretch though with SD 3 and 12 GB of RAM, it might hum along nicely for a while beyond OnePlus' 4 years.

I bought the S24+ instead of the Ultra simply because I don’t need the S-Pen, it’s much closer to the Ultra than the base model in terms of specs (compared to previous years, when it was just a larger base model), $1300 is too high (I could barely stomach $1200 for previous Ultra models), and I prefer this form factor over the Ultra’s. I got the anti-reflective screen protector for free on preorder, slapped it right on and bam! My S24+ has the same anti-reflective screen as the Ultra.

Got My S24+ after 10 long years with iPhone. The display at QHUD is amazing better than iPhone 15 Pro and the camera is great too. [...] Battery is huge. I got the Pixel 8 Pro but I didn't like it (bad display quality) but this S24+ will be my phone from now on. [...]

I got the S24 Plus 512GB and i think the plus has the best value this year it has now a QHD+ (3120x1440) wich gives it the highest ppi 513 in the s24 series. It has a 6.7 inch display and a 4900mah battery so for me its the best value of all the models S24 Ultra included!

And for all those reasons you've mentioned as unimportant (except for the stylus which I use but not every hour of every day), I decided to switch back from iPhone to S24 Ultra. Especially the cameras - love, love, love them and they smash anything I had on my iPhones - 12 pro max, 13 pro and 14 pro as well as my previous Samsungs with + (up till 20+). Moon shot from hand - lovely, the battery - 2 days no problem, shape - who cares - I'm a woman with small hands so I still hold it differently... Cameras are the must for me which neither 24 nor 24+ have.

I bought a nice looking fold cover for my trusty galaxy s24 ultra, and now I can't draw near the edge of the screen because it has a magnetic clasp there ☹️ seems obvious in retrospect, but also obvious enough to not put the magnet there on a cover for a phone with a stylus 🤷

im so torn over last months because i dont know which plus should i get it i want to go with S24+but im afraid of performance in next years and the heat in summer how its gonna be with this phone while in otherside and most likely i will go for it is s23+ such a massive phone but -1 year of update OS so what you think ?!!!

I use both (but the standard version), got a few likes & dislikes compared to iphone. When it comes to recording stuff, I always go with my iphone (video + sound quality just better) but when it comes to work chats & youtube, I will always go with my android. It probably just me but to this day I haven’t found out how to make youtube screen small while I access other apps, usually it just got thrown into the island and it sucks

I have been using mine for just over a week as well! [...] The battery life so far has been great, the display is crisp and beautiful had no issues seeing it outside in bright daylight. The only things that dissapoint me is the camera in low light is grainy i have tried different ways to improve this nothing is helping and the speakers are just ok they're not on the iphone 15 pro level however everything else about the phone is great. If anyone has any camera tips i'd be grateful i've tried changing some settings but had no luck. [...]

I just gave my S24 + cobalt violet 512g back to Vodafone couple of hours ago. The photos were worse than the S23 regular I had last year. So was the battery! The exynos was absolute tripe under stress and others couldn't hear me properly on Bluetooth at times and when I had the phones loudspeaker on. [...] I spoke with Samsung and they said they are aware of the screen issue and will be sending an update. A week later they're telling me there will be no update for the screen as it's there new natural look screen. [...] The pictures and videos are much better quality on my older S105g from 2019 which is simply scandalous. [...] Apart from the S24 plus screen but even my S105g quad hd screen looked better than the S24 plus screen. [...]

I don't know about your Exynos version of the S24 Plus. I'm using the regular S24 Snapdragon and the camera is better than my S24 Ultra Snapdragon. I initially bought the S24 Ultra but because of the size I decided to buy the regular S24 and I got it on the Facebook marketplace. It took away the S24 Ultra from my pocket. If you are shooting in very strong sunlight the pictures from the S24 Ultra make greener while the S24 keeps the pictures exactly as it is. And don't forget the S24 and the S24 Plus have the same camera. If I stand at my house and take pictures of the buildings nearby, the green tint is cast on all the pictures taken from the S24 Ultra but the S24 keeps the pictures the nearest to their colors.

Going from an s22 ultra to the s24+. I’m a digital artist and I thought I’d enjoy the sPen but it’s so uncomfortable to draw for long periods of time because of how small it is so I rarely used it at all. And the 100x zoom was nice but I only ever used it to zoom in on restaurant overhead menus 😂

[...] However i don't use s pen, i don't use camera that much, i like YouTube, emulators, music, maps, texting and calling, and not much after that. I just like the build of the s24 ultra it looks really nice and premium. But if the s24 plus is the exact same ill get it

I accidentally ordered the S24+ and it arrived today. [...] My brain might beat me up every time I get to a low battery that I'd have 100 more mah and maybe I miss a zoom shot that realistically nobody will see until someone tries to sort through the millions of photos I've taken before my funeral, but I think I will keep the S24+ and let my spirit be at peace.

I'm so relieved I bought the S24+ and not the Ultra based on all of the reasons you stated especially the camera. Nobody needs the best camera and the square edges of the ultra would be uncomfortable. However, the option of having s-pen would have been nice even though most of us wouldn't use.

Thanks to your detailed videos 😅 I bought the S24+ at around $700 Very happy with it, it's been more than 6 months now. [...] Also I'm not a huge camera guy. S24+ cameras are very much sufficient for my usage patterns.

Had this for almost 2 years, this phone is what I waited for since my a20+ knowing the next few were downgrades

[...] Battery drains extremely fast, it's laggy, the colors are washed out, and connectivity issues. [...]

I have the S24+ (exynos) afther 1 year and 6 months and the battery is really good and the charging speed is also really good :) (my screen resolution is FHD+)

Ive had this one for a year and I can't help but HATE the phone. The camera is really bad...

Have had my s22 for 2 years now and never had a scratch on it.

[...] Performance wasn't the issue; rather, after two years, the motherboard failed. [...] One thing is certain: in terms of software experience, technology, and innovation, no one can beat Samsung. [...]

Watching this on my S24+ Cobalt Violet. Got it in December of last year.

Coming from the standard S21 to the S24 Plus, set to arrive tomorrow, I have to say, is a huge leap for me! I'm looking forward to checking out all the cool features & battery life!

The camera for me it's amazing :) (i have also the S24+ exynos version for 1 year and 6 months)

finally got to upgrade my phone after 6-7 years. going from an s10+ to a s24+. [...]

I also want to add on that I really appreciate the benchmarks. When I was working with RAG llama.cpp through RN early last year I had pretty acceptable tok/sec results up through 7-8b quantized models (on phones like the S24+ and iPhone 15pro). MLC was definitely higher tok/sec but it is really tough to beat the community support and availability in the gguf ecosystem.

Maybe premium Android smartphones do? My Galaxy S24+ seems to have one. Edit: at least the excellent Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite gives me a barometer signal indicating 102570 Pa right now.

I jumped ship after they stopped using Qualcomm chips and the battery life went way down. The S24+ has been a much better phone.

I love my S24 Plus, its bigger than the base and I love having a heavier phone, esp with the otter box defender pro. It just feels better.

😂🎉YES MY S23 PLUS ONLY HAD 8GB RAM WITH 256GB BUT AFTER THE STUFF UP VODAFONE TRADE IN ON MY S24 PLUS NOW 12GB AND 512GB STORAGE I LOVE IT WITH MY GOOGLE MAPS LOCATION 2 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS AND 254,100 PHOTO VIEWS SO I AM ON A ROLL!!!😅😊😊😊

Got myself a S23+ last year instead of the Ultra, and I have literally no complaints! It's such a great phone overall, and so underrated - same goes to the S24+. Nice of you guys to share about this.

I upgraded to the Samsung s24 plus 2 years ago from a Samsung s21 it's a great phone 7 years of updates if might upgrade to the Samsung s27 ultra I only have 3 more payments to go then I'll see what they experience with the Samsung s27 ultra

I fucking hate what Google is doing to Android I just got my mom's old Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (love this phone) and I'm so fucking afraid to switch my iPhone to this phone All because if I do, I may or may not be able to "DOWNLOAD" APKs to "MY PHONE" Here's the Rant www.tumblr.com/limitedediti...
