Are you an Android fanatic with little to no interest in the latest Pixel 9 series? Don't worry, Samsung's excellent Galaxy S24+ is a fantastic choice, provided you're willing to pay a premium price for a top-of-the-line flagship. Normally, the 512GB configuration costs nearly $1,120, but with Amazon's generous deal, you'll save $201 on the Onyx Black model.
The GalaxyS24+ may not be as AI-powered as the latest Google Pixel phones, but it's still one of the best Android phones (for some, maybe even the best). It has a superb 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 1-120Hz refresh rates and improved peak brightness levels, and offers impressive performance thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
Although it lacks the zoom photo quality of its big brother, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, this amazing device is also one of the best camera phones. The photos taken with its camera have natural colors, good exposure and great details. If you choose the S24+, you can easily become the family photographer at large gatherings.
Are there competitors that you should take a closer look at before buying? It's interesting that you ask, because there are some.
The vanilla model is just as good
If you prefer pocket-sized devices over larger screens and batteries, or simply don't want to spend more than $900 on your new phone, consider the Galaxy S24 instead. This device is significantly cheaper than the 512GB S24+ and is currently $80 off on Amazon in all available colors.
As we already mentioned in our Galaxy S24 vs Galaxy S24 Plus Comparison: The standard model offers two major advantages over its Plus sibling. The first is size, as this baby has a smaller 6.17-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with the same 1-120Hz refresh rate. The second obvious advantage is price.
While the 512GB GalaxyS24+ now costs just under $920 with its $200 discount, while the larger storage configuration of the non-Plus model can be had for under $780. Granted, it has a 4,000mAh battery instead of a 4,900mAh battery, but it still has decent battery life.
Ultimately, it depends on your preferences: a bigger screen and battery or a more compact phone at a cheaper price.
