I think the Plus is hands down the way to go this year.

That was exactly my thought process. Went from s22 ultra to s24 plus for 350$ after trade in. A no brainer.

1. Titanium 2. Screen glare 3. Scratch resistance 4. Camera 5. Screen size 6. S Pen 7. Battery life

The Ultra is worth it if you have a device that gets a $600 credit as a trade in. I finally managed to order the 1TB version S24 Ultra at $791 with the trade in of my Note 20 Ultra 5G (now over 3 years old) and a $41 military discount. If I can get the best version at $800, I say go for it. Life is short so don't settle. I plan to keep the new phone for 3 years or more so its worth it for me.

You are missing several things Gorilla glass armor is only on the ultra not plus. Ultra has a titanium frame, it also has WiFi 7 the plus is WiFi 6e. The ultra screen glass also has an anti reflective coating and is 4x more scratch resistant. Everyone also seems to forget that the ultra has laser assisted auto focusing the plus does not. Ultra has the spen, 5x camera and slightly larger battery. From reports iv read of users testing the phones the speaker quality is better on the s24 ultra and camera quality is also better on ultra version. Are all these things worth $300 more not sure it does make it more difficult to justify the ultra because the plus is close but if you want the best you still have to go ultra.

Missing a few things, but it's already been mentioned in the comments. I was going to get the plus until I went to Best Buy and played with them both. The Ultras camera compared to the plus was the difference for me. Plus, i got a good deal for my trade in. Appreciate all your info! Keep up the great work!!°

I've been rocking the Ultra for the past couple years. This time around I pre-ordered the Plus Variant

The biggest improvement for me on the s24u is the flat display. Hate curved display and love the boxy design. Don't like rounded corners as much.

I listened to this video on the way to Best Buy before trying them both and totally agreed. Then, I took a picture of some balloons from across the store.. The difference in picture quality, sharpness and clarity, of the Ultra, blew my mind. It was a 30x zoom and it looked as clear as a 5x on my iPhone 15 Pro. I am blown away.

Nice video. Thank you ! Just ordered the 24+. Can't believe I bought a purple phone. If you mentioned it I missed it, but the display on S24 variants has a big jump in brightness up to 2600 nits from 1700 something for the S23+. I get there are diminishing returns, but I expect better outdoor performance over the max 1,300 nits of my S20 Ultra that I traded in. When I bought the Ultra I convinced myself that I had to have the best variant available with a bigger screen and battery, better cameras, etc. I had to check myself this go around. I don't take that many photos or videos anymore, the battery is nearly the same now, and I doubt I'd use the S Pen. In other areas, the S24 Plus is so close to the Ultra, that for me I'd rather pocket the $300. It's subjective, but I like the look of the rounded edges of the 24 and 24+.

"Great review, but there are a couple of aspects that need clarification. Firstly, the Galaxy S24+ does not feature Corning Gorilla Glass ARMOR; that's exclusive to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Instead, the S24+ comes with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Secondly, it's essential to note that the S24+ is available in two versions. The USA/CANADA/CHINA variant is equipped with the Qualcomm SM8650-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU and Adreno 750 GPU (1 GHz). On the other hand, the international version boasts the Exynos 2400 CPU and Xclipse 940 GPU. Including this information will provide viewers with a more comprehensive understanding of the Galaxy S24+ variants. Keep up the good work on your reviews!"

Save the $300 go with the S24+ and grab a Samsung Watch to go with it! Most folks have no use for the Ultra camera the S24+ with 12GB RAM will sing all day!

S24 plus looks promising.Watched a gaming test and the Exynos chip held its own

If you are coming from the S23 series or maybe even the S22 series, no need to upgrade. But anything before that, You can't go wrong with either the S24+ or S24 Ultra

I'm upgrading from S10+, i think i deserve the best upgrade they have to offer after waiting so many years.

Great video...I think you persuaded me to get the Plus!

S24 Ultra is for me, traded in my S22 Ultra for a good deal! Loving the sleek look of the Ultra it's aesthetically pleasing. The rounded design on the S24 Plus and S24 reminds me of iPhones lol

Thank you. Thank you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I'm getting the Plus with the 512 gb. It's just so much bang for your buck. Also, it had the 6 .7 inch screen

I have the s23 plus and it's my favorite Android device. Noticable improvement over my s20fe which bad terirble batrery life. 8 gen 2 was a big improvement as well. I prefer the form factor aa well and it's the perfect size.

Unpopular move I trade-in my S23U for S24 plus. Rarely used the spen, occasionally used the 10x and almost never used 200MP. Got tired of the form factor and the boxy design.

Good morning, Very good summary, but for us Europeans there is a big unknown called Exynos 2400, and that for me without having seen the tests is a big problem, I'm afraid there is still a big difference between 8 GEN 3 and exynos 2400. Thank you for all your videos, because for me I think you are very objective.

great vid. Very informative 🇬🇧

Even though the ultra has a flat screen now and the better camera again, I just don't like the form factor, I don't need the pen, so I'd go with the S24 Plus. But I've bought the S23 Plus last year and I am super happy! Ah, and in Europe only the ultra gets Snapdragon. Shame.

My Samsung S9 Plus is still serving me well ? No need for an upgrade ? I think I will just wait on the S25 Plus 🙂

How about the chipset? In the UK, S24 plus got the Exynos 2400. This is the only reason I'm not pre-ordering anything yet.

Went for the plus. It suited my use case more for the price. I already have a Galaxy tab for notes so I didn't really need the spen. Camera wasn't that important to me, as I hardly take photos (the regular 24 takes good enough pics). Storage also wasn't that big of a deal as I can barely fill up my 4yr old phone with more than 120gb; the 512gb in the plus is more than enough.

I LOVE IT when you do these comparative videos!! You are far smarter than I so it really makes my decision that much easier. Thank you!

I love the squared of design of the of the ultra and the slightly better cameras. Can't wait for my s24 ultra to get here. Got the violet one .

Going from my S21 Ultra to the S24+ as I finally feel the upgrade is worth it

Great info, even happier now that I decided on the S24+ yesterday. And surprisingly, got a $1000 credit trade in on my Note 9 to boot.

I never order a phone without hearing your thoughts on it. Thank you, another great video. Thank You

CPUs are different in UK.

I was just about to order the S24 ultra to replace my NOTE 8 and all the accessories are virtually sold out !!

if i want to keep my new phone for next 7 years.....i m going with the best one.....no if and buts.....simple logic......also for 300 extra bigger screen, camera module, titanium frame, s pen, writable screen, bigger battery and most of all flagships get better future tech support and better resale value.

Nah. It’s Ultra or nothing. Titanium grey and that beautiful design is just so much nicer.

SAMSUNG wants to become like apple so bad, I will buy Iphone 16 pro next then... no need to buy wannabe Iphone anymore . Battery life is terrible, they removed charging block , headphones, SD card slot... Also apps are so terrible and not optimized. I am tired of this BS brand

I pre-ordered the S24 Ultra. upgrading from my Galaxy S8.

"No 8 gigs of RAM anymore. That's a big plus." Nice pun there, intended or not.

Different panel though. Ultra has the GG Armor with the anti glare, plus does not. Fyi

I have to admit through bestbuy I can upgrade my 23 ultra to a s24+!for $150. Very tempted for the reasons you stated and my own ai adventures on my s23 ultra would be faster.. The pictures I take would look good on both and honestly using more voice to text then spen. I keep wondering next year the deal might not be as good so might as well upgrade

Can you make a battery test please, maybe compare with last gens, please!

I ordered the S24+ in cobalt violet from u.s. cellular. I got the 512gb for $999. But I dont need that much. Only used 71gb of my 256gb on my S22 ultra.

Every thing you saying is right I was so thinking of the s24+. Except if you live in the UK, I went into a Samsung store yesterday and asked them because in the UK we the exynos chip. They had no comparisons on the chip stats, and even the people in store, said GEN 3 was designed more for AI. Because in the UK the ultra, you also get the better chip along with its other features.

Went with the s24 plus with the 512 bump. Got 800.00 trade in for an old A51 that I had lying around. It's a no brainer. The extra camera hardware and the S pen is not a big deal for me I'm coming from an S20 FE.

The s24+ redeems itself from the embarrassing releases of the 21 22 and 23. The 20+ was the best of the series until they ruined it by removing the microSD card, led notification light and making it smaller with worse resolution. The s24+ is the baby ultra minus a few camera downgrades and anti glare coating. This is the one to get if you don't like a big ass bathroom tile in your pocket.

Just preordered the plus to replace my wife's 22+. Shes not techie. She use to rock a note9 and she hardly used the spen. Actually she lost the pen twice. She doesnt even game on her phone....mostly uses it to watch her dramas. I think she will appreciate the speed of the 120hz while not knowing what that means. She also wont know the difference in the camera department. She usually asks me anyways to take the pictures with my phone (currently pixel 8 pro). S24+ it is for her.

Informative video. It will be the S24+ for me. Thank for your clear & very informative explanation of the differences between the phones. Great video 👍🏾

Also, I believe you forgot to mention (at least at the end, I FF through some of the video), that the Ultra's front is Gorilla Glass Armor, which gives the screen phenomenal brightness in the sun, and it has a titanium frame, which is much more durable, whereas the Plus' front is only Gorilla Glass Victus 2; the screen is much dimmer in sunlight, and it has an aluminum frame, which isn't as sturdy as titanium. *All of my facts are taken from other RU-vidr's comparison videos, including drop-test ones.

😎 awesome Review as always! 👏

I just traded my s23 Ultra for the s24 Plus. It cost me $247. A lighter phone with rounded corners suits me better, and I love the bezels on the s24 Plus. If Samsung solves the form factor, hinge and crease issues with its Z Fold6, I'll probably try a fold phone next. I really enjoy switching up phones.

I know. Was just putting it out there for people who are form the rest of the world. I always watch you. And I'm from the UK .Think you're the best tech person . Because you tell us the truth .

I have an S21 Ultra and I am trying to decide between the 24+ and the S24 Ultra. I really never was interested in the Note lineup and now that the Ultra is the note that kind turns me off to it. I'm leaning more towards the S24+ considering the added features of the Ultra are really not as much of a jump as they were in the past

They are sneaky with the trade in. The trade in comes off the full price (1,419) of the 512 not the 1,299 of the 256. How is that a “free” upgrade? It’s not.

Just me trying to justify my purchase to myself lol

Do you think there would be a big difference between the s 23 plus versus the s 24 plus? Maybe a price difference when the new ones arrive? Enjoy your videos, keep up the great work 👍

If I lived in America I would buy the plus model but in the UK where I live it has the exynos chip, so I will be going for the Ultra.

Sir, I appreciate your on-point and money-saving tip. Thank you so much. God bless you!

For me I went with the s24 ultra. Simply because of the spen. It helps as a RU-vidr (trying to be a RU-vidr) when it comes to video editing.

I'm excited for August to see what the next flip phone brings. I want one so bad, but I wanted my P8 Pro first. I'll have this for like 5 yrs, almost 7. I'll either get the Z Fold 5 on sale or the new one.

Im Holding on my Galaxy s23 ultra ❤❤❤

I traded my S23+ for the S24+. Got good trade in value on it. So this year I feel less ripped off with the 24+

Even 24 is good. I am sick with phones big and heavy like tv.

What is a good upgrade for S20? Still have that and wondering what s24 I should get. Looking at the S24 plus but wouldn't mind S24 ultra

I have the s20 ultra and verizon gave me $1,000 credit for it and extra $120 for idk maybe preorder so $1,120 total so my s24+ is free and definitely sounds like the win this year. Couldn't be happier. Can't wait to receive it.

Thanks for the info. I pre ordered the plus because I have the note 20 ultra and I never use the pen. Getting the plus saved me $700 difference from the ultra. I'm happy with the order and you backed up my choice. Thank you

The S24 and S24 Plus also have WIFI 7 disabled due to the Exynos 2400 limitations. This includes the Snapdragon models via software limitation. The Ultra has WIFI 7, however.

recap of this video Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: Boxier appearance, similar to the previous Ultra Series. Features the S Pen for stylus input. Larger 200-megapixel camera and a 5x telephoto zoom. Slightly larger screen (6.8 inches). Higher price tag ($1,299). Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus: Rounded and more traditional design, similar to the Plus series. No S Pen included. 50-megapixel camera and a 3x telephoto zoom. Slightly smaller screen (6.7 inches). More affordable price ($999). Shared Features: Both phones have the Snapdragon 8 Generation 3 chipset and 12GB of RAM. Improved battery capacity, with the S24 Plus having a 4,900mAh battery. Similar screen technology, both supporting a 1Hz to 120Hz refresh rate. Both phones have 45W fast charging and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. Identical software support with seven years of software updates and security patches. Considerations: The S24 Plus is seen as a more affordable alternative, offering many features similar to the Ultra model. The Ultra model justifies its higher price with the S Pen, a larger camera, and additional telephoto zoom capabilities.

The ultra is great either way ull be happy

@NLT can you please make a benchmark comparison of s23 + vs s24+. It will help for decision making either go for s Exeynos 2400 s24+ or go for Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 S23+

Hate to disagree. But I'm coming from the S9+ so I went with the s24 ultra Galactus Maximus 512 green titanium. With all the promotional pre-order/upgrade credit and cracked screen S9 Plus trade in with tax comes out to 1300ish. Open a new credit card $300 bonus. That'll bring it down to 1000ish. Not too shabby

Great content. You didn't mention the titanium frame on the s24 ultra. Does the s24+ have 8k? Also the s24 ultra still has rounded side frame like the s23 ultra. Butcim still keeping my s23 ultra.

I usually always go the ultra but went for the plus, also in my Australia, the preorder gets you the latest watch and buds 2 pro for free which is crazy good value, got the 512gb too in grey

POV: Me who's still sitting on a dying S21 Ultra I don't particularly want another Samsung phone, because if my expensive af "flagship" phone that I've treated like a first-born son, is dying when it's not even been in my hands for 3 years yet. I'm looking at the Xperia line, I wish the 5 V was made for the US, I've heard you can flash the 1 V US modem files on to it, but that's a bit risky considering I've only modified old game consoles and not modern phones. So seems like the 1 V might be my Obi-Wan Phone, unless the 1 IV is released before I upgrade. I kinda want to wait to see if the 5 VI will get a US release, but I also know that it's pointless to wait another half year or more for a phone that may not happen, especially when one's current device is starting to malfunction as it is (referring to my dying star of a phone)

I got s24+ in yellow for the Mrs 👍

After some weeks of testing and comparing the S24 plus with exynos to the s23 ultra camera all the zoom alternatives on the s24 plus is Bad realy bad compared to the s23 ultra, but the just point and shoot photos looks better on the s24 plus.

I want the ultra features (camera& pen) but it's just too big. So only staying with plus for the rounded corners and less weight.

i ordered a 24+. my pixel 8pro has been irritating me as of late, so i ordered a s24+ to take in its place. gonna miss some pixel things, but samsung has pretty much their own version of the pixel features now

They are both Titanium? Awesome

I think the s24 and s24+ looks like an iPhone now lol. But I actually like the feel of it.

I was going to buy the plus but when I saw the ultra in person i felt in love. I dont know what it is but i got to have the ultra. Probably the display.

I couldn't pass up the trade-in deal for the S24+ (especially being in the USA). My first time pre-purchasing a phone :D Hoping it'll be a good experience for me

If you don't have them in hand, why would you make a comparison video about it?

I’m getting the s24 plus this year love the look

Finally a good and honest review ❤

Also, as an OG Note user I can’t really go without having the pen. 24+ is basically just an iPhone 15 without the pen.

How about comparing the plus to the pixel 8 pro? Ive had the 8 pro for 1 month and the temperature sensor lens already fell off. Never dropped the phone but now I'm worried about durability

How do we find out if it has the macro?

Would you buy the Samsung S24+ or the Pixel 8 Pro? I like Pixel's software better, however, looking at both deals on Samsung and Google, the Samsung's deal is far better. Right now I have the Pixel 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. I can't believe how crappy the trade in amounts are on Google. I could actually get the S24 Ultra now and pay about $35 less than getting the Google because of trade-in amounts. I just hate the boxy design of the Ultra.

Thanks for the video I went with the Grey S21 + I'll get it on the 31st

Where's the phones??

I got s24+ because i like the look and dont need spen. Saved $300 and coming from s20fe with broken screen

Just pre-ordered the S24 Plus

S24+ is a no no here in Europe because it got the exynos so it's better to get the Ultra

Coming from an s23 ultra, i pre-order the s24 plus. The headset speaker on the s23 ultra is too low. Going back to what I know, the Plus

I have the samsung galaxy S24+ (256 gb) and i'm really happy with it and i have no regret that i don't have the Ultra because i hate the sharp corners and i mostly use my phone 1 handed 😎😎

Idk if I had my mind set on the plus I would just get the Pixel 8 Pro instead, unless you want the Snapdragon instead of the tensor.

I am SO CONFLICTED. I have 7 days left to return my iPhone 15 Pro after years on Android. I cannot decide if I want the Plus or the Ultra. I HATE the boxy corners. I HATE the S-pen. But I want the "high specs". It's a $8 difference/ month for my carrier. I'm just... confused. My favorite phone ever was the S21u. Pretty sure the Plus is that...

I'm thinking of trade-in my Z Flip 5 for S24+. What do you think?
