Which cellphone is the shining star of the Galaxy S collection? Final week’s ballot reveals that it’s nonetheless the Extremely, however plus mannequin is gaining floor – particularly relating to folks trying to improve from an older mannequin.
Galaxy S24 • Galaxy S24+ • Galaxy S24 Extremely
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Extremely is a average improve over the S23 Extremely, itself not an enormous enchancment over the S22 Extremely. So, relating to the S24 Extremely (and the vanilla S24, which we are going to take a look at in a minute), round 15% are sticking with their present Galaxy S cellphone. Round as many are taking a look at different flagships as an alternative.
Why? An enormous motive to not get the S24 Extremely is simply how costly it’s – the bottom mannequin prices greater than the 2023 model in nearly all markets and that one was expensive already.
Samsung obtained some issues proper, just like the flat show. The brand new Gorilla Glass Armor is nicely obtained too. And sticking with Snapdragon solely was in all probability a good suggestion, although the Exynos appears to be like like it can impress this 12 months.
The Samsung Galaxy S24+ went up in worth in some areas too, so the associated fee remains to be a priority for a lot of. Although the financial savings of going for plus as an alternative of Extremely are fairly notable. Apart from the cameras and S Pen, that is nearer to the Extremely than any S Plus mannequin has been for the reason that S20 technology. Some gained’t be satisfied till they see the opinions – that Exynos 2400 being of specific curiosity. That mentioned, folks with older S+ fashions see this as an important improve path.
Like we talked about above, the Samsung Galaxy S24 isn’t seen as a worthwhile improve from an older vanilla S cellphone. Seven years of help and an LTPO show certain are good, however at this level you might as nicely stick it out and get the S25 or S26. The vanilla mannequin went down in worth in most locations, however the 8/128GB base configuration actually looks like Samsung is nickel-and-diming you – how are seven years of updates, apps and recordsdata supposed to slot in 128GB? And whereas the plus obtained an improve to 12GB of RAM, this one didn’t, which once more hurts its longevity.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 collection is already a scorching commodity in South Korea and India (and possibly different markets, however we should wait to see that stats). One Korean provider confirmed {that a} whopping 60% of pre-orders are for the S24 Extremely, so the plus gained’t usurp the throne simply but.
