The phone that stands out the most in the Galaxy S series is still the Ultra, but the plus model is also gaining popularity, especially for those looking to upgrade from an older model, as indicated in
last week’s poll.
Galaxy S24 • Galaxy S24+ • Galaxy S24 Ultra
As for the
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra,
it is a moderate improvement over the S23 Ultra, which was not a significant upgrade over the S22 Ultra. Around 15% of people are sticking with their current Galaxy S phone, while the same number are considering other flagship alternatives. The main reason for not getting the S24 Ultra is its high cost, as it is more expensive than the 2023 version in almost all markets. However, it does feature a flat display and the new Gorilla Glass Armor, which has been well-received. Additionally, sticking with Snapdragon exclusively was probably a good decision, although the Exynos is expected to be impressive this year.
The
Samsung Galaxy S24+
has seen an increase in price in some regions, so its cost is a concern for many. However, the savings by choosing the plus version over the Ultra are quite significant. Aside from the cameras and S Pen, this model is closer to the Ultra than any S Plus model has been since the S20 generation. Some consumers are not fully convinced until they see the reviews, with particular interest in the Exynos 2400. On the other hand, people with older S+ models see it as a great upgrade option.
Similarly, the
Samsung Galaxy S24
is not considered a worthwhile upgrade from an older vanilla S phone, despite offering seven years of support and an LTPO display. The basic model has decreased in price in most places, but the 8/128GB configuration feels a bit tight. Additionally, it has not received an upgrade to 12GB of RAM, which affects its longevity.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series is already a popular choice in
South Korea
and
India.
One Korean carrier confirmed that 60% of pre-orders are for the S24 Ultra, indicating that the plus model won’t surpass the Ultra just yet.
