The Galaxy S24+ may not be as AI-enhanced as the latest Google Pixel phones, but it’s still one of the best Android phones (possibly even the best for some). It has a splendid 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 1-120Hz refresh rates and improved peak brightness levels and offers awe-inspiring performance, thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
While it lacks the zoom photo quality of its bigger sibling, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, this bad boy is also among the best camera phones. Photos taken with its cameras have natural colors, proper exposure, and great detail. If you decide to go for the S24+, you can easily become the family photographer at major gatherings.
Are there any competitors worth checking out before pulling the trigger? Funny you should ask, because there are.
The vanilla model is just as good
If you prefer pocketable devices over larger screens and bigger batteries or simply don’t want to spend more than $900 on your new phone, consider the Galaxy S24 instead. Considerably more affordable than the 512GB S24+, this fella is currently $80 off on Amazon across all available colors.
As we’ve pointed out in our Galaxy S24 vs Galaxy S24 Plus review, the vanilla model holds two main advantages over its Plus sibling. The first one is size, as this puppy has a smaller 6.17-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with the same 1-120Hz refresh rates. The second obvious advantage is the price.
While the 512GB Galaxy S24+ now costs just under $920 with its $200 discount, the larger storage configuration of the non-Plus model sells for under $780. Granted, it has a 4,000mAh battery instead of a 4,900mAh one, but it still has a decent battery life. Ultimately, it all comes down to your preferences: a bigger screen and a larger battery, or a more compact phone with a more bearable price tag.
