Samsung Galaxy S24+

The Galaxy S24+ launched in India in January 2024 at Rs 99,999 for 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. Like the base model, it used the Exynos 2400 in India. It is the phone for people who want a big screen and big battery but have no use for the Ultra's S Pen, 200 MP sensor or premium price.

This year the Plus received a meaningful display upgrade to 1440 x 3120 resolution on a 6.7-inch LTPO panel, matching the Ultra's sharpness on a flat screen with rounded corners. The flat aluminium frame and 196 g weight make it far easier to hold than the Ultra. Performance is strong across apps and games, with more RAM than the base S24.

Cameras mirror the S24, with a 50 MP main, 12 MP ultrawide and 10 MP 3x telephoto. The 4900 mAh battery and 45W charging give it better endurance and faster top-ups than its smaller sibling. Its awkward middle position was the main criticism: the OnePlus 12 cost far less, and the Ultra was only a step away for buyers already spending close to a lakh.
