The return of Exynos, 5x is the new 10x, AI all the things! Samsun’s Galaxy S24 series is here and it marks the most imporant announcement of the year so.
Samsun’s Galaxy S24 series is here and it marks the most imporant announcement of the year so far. Samsung purposefully pushed the series‘ announcement two weeks earlier than the S23’s and they’ll ship nearly a month earlier than their predecessors. That gives Samsung plenty of time to establish some market dominance and give Apple’s iPhone 15 series a proper fight.
The Galaxy S series has become somewhat of a tame affair in these last few years but that’s the norm when you have a mature market. Still, there are some noteworthy aspects of the Galaxy S24 series – this is our hot take.This is the most sense the Plus model has made since the S20 Ultra arrived
Without a doubt, this is the most sense the Galaxy S Plus model has made since Samsung added an Ultra to the lineup. That’s the last time we had a 1440p display on the Plus.
Now, the Galaxy S24+ brings back the higher 1440x3120px resolution and it’s an LTPO panel for the first time in the model’s history. It means it can gradually adjust between 1Hz and 120Hz refresh rate.
The Plus also got a 200mAh bump (to 4,900mAh), essentially matching the Galaxy S24 Ultra. And while we’re on that train of thought, the Galaxy S24+ has 12GB of RAM – just like the Ultra.But the vanilla S24 is hardly looking attractive
Yes, the Plus is finally a worthwhile option on its own, but it’s now getting closer to the Ultra in price. Well, closer, not close per se – a 12/512GB Galaxy S24 Ultra is still €300 more than an equivalent S24+. Many people might just find the price difference is well worth for the better camera setup alone.
We’re not sure how many people would get the Galaxy S24. It adds 0.1-inch to the display, which is an LTPO panel for the first time, adds another 100mAh to the battery and that’s about it. We can’t imagine many S23 owners would upgrade and it’s clear not many people want a smaller phone these days. Yes, we know small phone fans are out there but sales figures don’t lie.
We could easily imagine a world where one of the non-Ultra phones is gone (or perhaps replaced by a smaller Ultra).
