Is the Galaxy S24+ worth it over the base S24?

The S24+ gives you a larger QHD+ screen, a bigger battery and more RAM than the S24. If you want a bigger display and longer endurance, it is the better pick; the S24 suits people who prefer a compact phone.

How does the S24+ compare with the S24 Ultra?

The Ultra adds a 5x periscope zoom, an S Pen and a titanium frame. The S24+ is lighter and simpler, with the same core chip and software support, but its zoom stops at 3x.

Does the 512GB model have expandable storage?

No. The Galaxy S24+ has no microSD slot, so the 512GB built-in capacity is fixed. That capacity is ample for most photo, video and game libraries.

Samsung ships the phone with a USB-C cable and a SIM ejector tool. There is no charger or case in the box, so plan for a USB-C power adapter separately.

How long will it get software updates?

Samsung promises seven years of OS upgrades and security patches for the S24 series. That covers Android version updates through roughly 2031.

Is the Snapdragon version better than the Exynos one?
