Samsunghas announced theSamsung GalaxyS24 and Galaxy S24 Plus (S24+) models during its firstGalaxy Unpacked eventof 2024, and each offers a swathe of upgrades that should make them among thebest Android phonesaround.
Each of the handsets also features a larger display, in comparison with their respective predecessors. That’s thanks to a slimmer bezel this time around and means the Samsung Galaxy S24 now comes with a 6.2-inch FHD+ AMOLED display. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus ups that to 6.7-inches.
Both now also sport dynamic refresh rates up to 120Hz, so should run applications and games as smoothly as possible.

That’s enhanced through custom Exynos 2400 processing, plus 8GB of RAM on the standard S24, 12GB on the S24 Plus. The smaller of the two has the wider storage options, with 128GB, 256GB and 512GB variants available. The Plus doesn’t come in 128GB, but does offer the other sizes.
Around the back, you can find a three camera system on each device, with the same specifications – 50-megapixel wide lens, 12-megapixel ultra-wide, and 10-megapixel telephoto (with 3x optical zoom).
The front-facing camera is hidden behind a hole-punch cutout at the top-middle of the display. It can take 12-megapixel snaps.

The battery on the standard Samsung Galaxy S24 is 4,000mAh, while the S24 Plus has a larger 4,900mAh alternative. The S24 is limited to 25W fast charging, while the Plus gets 45W.
Both handsets are IP68 certified for water and dust resistance.
Samsung Galaxy S24 AI features
The entire Samsung Galaxy S24 series, including theSamsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, feature a suite of AI tools that sit under the same banner – Galaxy AI.
This includes some interesting new photography features, such as Generative Edit, which allows you to take an object in a photo, resize and/or move it, and then ask the AI to fill in the cutout that’s left behind. The same feature can also be used to automatically straighten a picture, with the AI filling in the edges to make it look as good as if it was taken that way.
There is now a Live Translate feature, too, which uses AI to interpret a call between two different languages in real time. Each listener can then hear the conversation in their native tongue.
There are several other new tools too, which will be fun to find out more about when we get the phones into T3’s test labs in the near future.
