The newest Galaxy phone, the S24 is here, but does it warrant an upgrade from the S23? Here’s the breakdown.
Samsung has unveiled its three new flagship phones at this year’s Galaxy Unpacked event, and as expected, every phone in the new Galaxy S24 line is a top-tier device. The new lineup packs a ton of features, including one of the best cameras on the market, a barrage of AI innovations, and one of the brightest screens we’ve ever seen.
But just how much of an upgrade over the S23, is it? Of course, purely on paper, the Galaxy S24 has the better specs and is objectively the better phone. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right phone for everyone. If you’re trying to decide between the Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S24, read on to learn the differences.

Like the S23 Ultra, the S24 Ultra is going to have one of the best cameras ever seen in a smartphone. And at least when it comes to hardware, the S24 won’t be a huge upgrade. The stunning 200 MP main lens is staying around, as is the 12 MP ultra-wide lens. But the S23’s pair of 10 MP telephoto lenses are being replaced with a 10 MP and a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens.
With a 3x and 10x optical zoom plus the highly-touted « Space Zoom » that boasted a 100x magnification, the S23 had an absolutely incredible zoom feature.
