The Phone I'd Buy Instead of the S24 Ultra

  • There's no denying the Galaxy S24 Ultra is a stunning phone. But, there is a phone in Samsung's Galaxy S24 lineup that hits a lot of the same flagship sweet spots, without sacrificing anything important, and charges you less for it. Plus, it's lighter, smaller, and more comfortable to use. It's the unsung hero of the range: the Galaxy S24+. Join me as I talk through why it's the Goldilocks phone for Samsung this year.

    Got the regular s24. Best phone I've ever had. Perfect size to put inside a pocket , easy handling. Most people will use the S-pen for a short while and ditch it very fast. Don't waste your money. The s24 does everything you need. Be wise.

For me is not bc i'm a verry heavy user,doing most of my schoolwork on my phone,gaming,consuming media and 6 hrs videocalls with a friend so it's still pretty good and if i can always charge it while doing some homework or using my pc and if i need the phone to last,i can easly bc of how good the stand by is on it and it looks like the battery on s24 is even better(especialy the sd version)

      I traded in my S23fe for S24+. Hated the S23fe from the start. It has good camera and snappy performance but I hated the ergonomics. 6.4 display, heavy, poor finger print scanner. I went from S20fe to S23fe and it felt like a downgrade to comfort.

    My next device will be a 'S20 something + device' , i prefer the rounded corners and to be honest wouldn't totally miss the S Pen especially since the 6.1 update took away Live Messages.

    • @destertew

      Exactly. While few regions get the snapdragon version of s24 and s24+, the fact is samsung knows that its main sales isn't in the regions where the snapdragon version except ultra are being sold, so they strategized to selling exynos only to top selling markets to maximize sales and profit in those rehions as well as show increased sales figures in exynos versions since the people who can't differentiate between processors and/or have enough funds to buy the ultra model.
      I have seen many many reviews of the s24 and s24+ exynos versions to conclude that they aren't worth buying.
      Instead one can go for MI 14 ultra if they want a super powerful phone or just go with some other phone which is a flagship spec one.
      Also, Camera processing is shit in exynos versions

      ​@@destertewbro, you have no idea of what Exynos 2400 is capable of then. I'm using the S24+ for about a week now and regarding camera processing, I find it way more natural than the S24U. Unless people like oversharpened pics, but that's up to them. Also, being a new chip and all it's going to get way more optimized in the future. Don't get me wrong, I always preferred SD phones but this one feels just as good, no overheating and stuff like that like we used to have in the 990 or previous Exynos.

    Before I bought the S24, I went to best buy and looked at the 24 & 24+ side by side. I went with the 24 because I couldn't see the difference in resolution and the 24 has the same body size as the P30 it replaces. If you like bigger screen, then go with the 24+. But, if you prefer smaller screen, you can't go wrong with the regular 24.

    Once I got S22U I became fully satisfied with performance and available functions and design and others. Then I stopped watching unboxing, reviews, comparisons and other smartphone videos. I opened this video only because I'm eating right now 😊 and wanted to watch something. I think one day I'll need to buy new phone. And if I'll have enough money It'll definitely be Ultra. The biggest and most expensive model is always better than cheaper models.
    I understood that when I had N10+ and used it simultaneously with brother's S21+.

Even the camera system on the s24+ is worse , with oversaturated and unrealistic colors, bad night mode and bad zoom. S24+ also overheats faster and throttles itself to oblivion as it can't keep up playing anything heavy as compared to the OnePlus with its monstrous 16gb of ram and large vapor chamber. OnePlus 12 has an extra gaming chip to boos frame rates and provide sharper textures. OnePlus clearly beats the s24+ and is better than the s24 ultra too.

    The Note 10 6.3" was the best Samsung phone for me in terms of size, weight and screen aspect ratio. I love curved screens and it had a very decent camera set.
    Tried the plus today - the Ultras are too big and heavy for me - but I don't like the hand feel with the flat edges. I really dig one ui though, Dex and Wallet and Pass. However I'm going to see if I can port one ui to another brand of phone because the (not so) new Samsung design doesn't appeal to me... And that's fine - it's made for the masses.

    I went with the 24U and it's a great phone. But the screen is weird. Constantly covered in smudges and fingerprints. I was always having to clean it. Nothing I had experienced before, so I assume it has something to do with the special, non-reflective coating? So, I put a screen protector on it. Also something I never do. This took care of the smudging issue but now the fingerprint reader barely works, even after turning on touch sensitivity and re-learning the fingerprints with the protector on.

    Just to add another option to the mix of phones that offer (near) premium specs at a more affordable price, I just got a Nubia RedMagic 9 Pro (USA). [It replaces my 5-yr-old RedMagic 3, which still works perfectly, but will not run updated financial apps requiring OS 10 or above - mine has OS 9. New one is Android14]
    So, first the caveats/CONS: It has no IP rating (not water or dust proof), owing to the cooling fan --it is a GAMING phone. I am not a gamer, but I bought this for the specs that a gaming phone requires.
    Cameras; Selfie (under display) is rather poor by today's standards, but I don't really do selfies. Main camera is pretty good, but not on a par with the best available. I really like the photos, but if you want the best, this will not be for you.
    The PROS (Snowfall model, USA): 16GB RAM, 512 storage . Dual SIM card slot.120 Hz refresh. Cooling fan (for gamers), dedicate gaming mode with ridiculous settings options.
    6500MAh battery, 80W charging (charging brick and cable included in package, as well as a basic case). Very near stock Android (few company OS mods).
    DTS speakers (2 facing), plus 2 more (one at each end), 3.5mm earphone jack!!, iR blaster, z-smart cast (to a smart TV), NFC.
    So, How much? $799 (US) on redmagic's site. I bought mine from Walmart at $775 (with free shipping-- got it in 3 days). [Amazon wanted $849 after discount.]
    Also available (List $649) with 12GB RAM/ 256 storage (Sleet model, USA).
    I've had it for four days now and LOVE IT! It is big, it is bright, and it is FAST!
    [I am in no way being compensated for this review. I just want to let everyone know about an alternative to the big guys' offerings.]

    The Samsung Galaxy s24 plus is a fine device. However, it still costs $1,000. My favorite device of the year is the OnePlus 12. Frankly, it has far better specifications than the s24 plus and it's a much better value. Best of all, it's not a flat slab that utilizes a non ergonomic flat screen. Curved glass is far more ergonomic and has a much more premium look.

    Interesting video, but I chose the S23FE and I'll tell you WHY! First is the price I got mine factory UNLOCKED for $509 for 256Gb last November. The cameras are PLENTY for me as I do NOT take "professional" photos or videos so I have NO need for an "ULTRA" model. Next, the S-Pen having had NOTE series phones for a long time I never really used the Pen and really does not "enhance" my daily experience at all. The S23FE runs ONE UI 6.1 with 90+% of the features offered on the "ULTRA" model that even then I use ONCE in a blue moon so, why PAY for all these features that I'll never use?? OK the S23FE has the Snapdragon GEN 1 which is NOT really a game changer as far as battery life goes vs. the Snapdragon Gen 3. So apps load milliseconds slower than the "ULTRA" that matters how much in day to day usage? The S23FE can handle about ANYTHING you throw at it except video editing which I NEVER do in the first place so, WHY pay $1300+ for something I'll NEVER use? It ALL comes down to WHAT you use your phone for and MOST people will own a phone for less than TWO years before upgrading and that is a HUGE money hit at $1300+.
    The other JOKE is updates for 7years as ANYONE serious about a phone will NEVER have a phone for that long in the first place! Even the S23FE!
    If you are a professional that does picture and video editing for a living than YES an ULTRA is right for you but the majority needs NONE of these features or the horsepower to do it! Everything the S-pen offers can be done without with a little extra when needed and little effort.

And the form factor, again my opinion, is just overall nicer. Samsungs AMOLED also a step ahead. So no, OP12 is not better everywhere.
