We’ve finally had the opportunity to try out the new Galaxy S24+ and have brought it straight in for review.
Samsung includes just a USB-C cable with its Galaxy phones, but some retailers may offer Samsung’s new, rather small 25W adapter. Not everyone offers this deal, but Samsung does give you a free upgrade from 256GB to 512GB during the pre-order period, as well as trade-in bonuses and discounts on Samsung services.
Unboxing the Galaxy S24+
The Galaxy S24+ feels like a brand new device, which we wouldn’t have expected just a few weeks ago. For one, it is entirely matte on all sides. Additionally, the frame is now flatter and not as glossy, though it is nicely contoured and very comfortable to the touch.
We chose the Cobalt Violet color and have to say it looks more purple in photos than in real life. It’s a subtle color – let’s call it elegant.
The feel of the phone alone contributes perhaps 60% of the ‘brand new device feel’, with the remaining 40% coming from what’s inside. The display has a higher resolution at 1440x3120px, and is finally an LTPO panel.
Another upgrade is the battery, which is now 200mAh larger at 4,900mAh – nearly as large as the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s.
The Galaxy S24 shares the look of the Galaxy S24+ but has a lower-resolution display. It is still an LTPO panel. That’s all we have right now, but we’ll bring you more Galaxy S24 content next week!
