S24 Plus: zoom in less

The Samsung S24 Plus has 3 camera lenses on the back. With this telephoto lens, you can zoom in up to 3 times without losing quality. That's a lot less than the S24 Ultra allows.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 has the same type of camera lenses as the Samsung S24 Plus. Still, there's a small difference between the 2 devices.

Design, size, and screen

Design S24 Ultra comparison

S24 Ultra: large, razor-sharp screen, and an S Pen

The large S24 Ultra has a razor-sharp 6.8-inch Quad HD screen. It allows you to see all te details in your movies and series. In addition, you can see everything that happens in your games on this large screen. The large and heavy device is difficult to control with 1 hand.

And the sturdy titanium casing isn't susceptible to scratches and dents.

Design S24+

S24 Plus: less heavy, but no S Pen

The screen of the Samsung S24 Plus is just as sharp as that of the S24 Ultra. The 6.7-inch Quad HD screen is a bit smaller. In addition, the device is less thick and heavy. This smartphone is still difficult to control with 1 hand. The S24 Plus isn't compatible with the S Pen stylus. As a result, you can't control this device as accurately as the Samsung S24 Ultra. This means that it's not as easy to edit your photos. And the aluminum casing is more susceptible to scratches.

Size S24, S24 Plus, or S24 Ultra

S24: small smartphone, less sharp screen

The Samsung S24 is a small smartphone you can easily control with 1 hand. The device easily fits in your pocket as well, unlike the S24 Plus and Ultra. The 6.2-inch Full HD screen is less sharp. This mean that you can see less detail in your movies, series, and games. The Samsung S24 also isn't compatible with the Galaxy S Pen. And just like the Samsung S24 Plus, the S24 has an aluminum housing. So it's more susceptible to scratches and dents.

You can choose from models with either 256 or 512GB of storage. There's no 1TB version, so you have less space to store your large files, movies, and series.

Samsung S24 storage

S24: small battery, slower charging, and up to 256GB of storage

Because the extremely fast Samsung S24 is small, the device can only fit a small 4000mAh battery. With average use, you'll have to charge it several times during the day. In addition, it charges more slowly with the 25W charger. Within 30 minutes, you can charge the battery between 51 and 60%. You can choose either 128 or 256GB of storage capacity. This means that you regularly have to clean up your photos, apps, and files.

Conclusion: S24 vs S24 Plus vs S24 Ultra

The Samsung S24 is the starter model from this series. The device is small, but has a short battery life, the least sharp screen, and less storage capacity. The larger S24 Plus has a longer battery life and a sharper Quad HD screen that allows you to see all of the details. With the S24 Ultra, you get the most complete smartphone. Thanks to the double telephoto lens, you can take the best photos and videos with this device. In addition, you can control the S24 Ultra more accurately with the included S Pen stylus.
