Samsung just launched the new Galaxy S24 series of flagship smartphones, and here is our comparison of all three models, and their key specifications!
Samsung Galaxy S24 Series : 3 Different Models!
Samsung just launched the new Galaxy S24 series, and there are three models with different specifications:
- Galaxy S24 Ultra, with a large 6.8-inch display, and five cameras,
- Galaxy S24 Plus (S24+), which is almost as large at 6.7-inch, but with only four cameras, and
- Galaxy S24, which has a 6.2-inch display, and four cameras too.
Here is a quick summary of their key features, and how they stack up against each other.
Flagship-Class Performance
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is exclusively powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy in all regions of the world. It comes with a slightly overclocked prime core, but with other cores slightly underclocked.
However, that cannot be said for the two smaller Galaxy S24 models. Depending on region, the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus (S24+) are either powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, or Samsung’s own Exynos 2400 mobile SoC.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is an 8-core mobile SoC, while the Exynos 2400 has 10 CPU cores. Here’s a quick comparison:
| Specifications | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy |
Exynos 2400 |
| CPU Clusters | 4 | 4 |
| CPU Cores | 1 x Cortex-X4 (3.39 GHz) 3 x Cortex-A720 (up to 3.1 GHz) 2 x Cortex-A720 (up to 2.9 GHz) 2 x Cortex-A520 (up to 2.2 GHz) |
1 x Cortex-X4 (3.2 GHz) 2 x Cortex-A720 (up to 2.9 GHz) 3 x Cortex-A720 (up to 2.6 GHz) 4 x Cortex-A520 (up to 1.95 GHz) |
| GPU | Qualcomm Adreno 750 | Samsung Xclipse 940 |
Improved Cooling
To ensure that the processor remains cool, the Galaxy S24 smartphones sport larger vapour chambers:
- Galaxy S24 Ultra : 90% larger than Galaxy S23 Ultra
- Galaxy S24+ : 60% larger than Galaxy S23+
- Galaxy S24 : 50% larger than Galaxy S23
As a result, the Galaxy S24 series smartphones sold have better sustained performance during intense gaming sessions or AI photo or video editing,

Slight Changes To Cameras
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra sports the same 200 MP Adaptive Pixel camera from last year, but introduces a new 50 MP telephoto camera, with 5X optical zoom. This camera allows for better night photography through the use of 60% larger pixels (when combined), and the wider f/3.4 aperture.
The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ models though retained the same rear cameras from last year. All three models also retain the same 12 MP front camera as well.
However, Samsung said that its deep-learning AI algorithms now allow for much better quality digital zoom. The faster processor also allows for better quality video zooming through Video Super Resolution.
Titanium Frame
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is the first Samsung smartphone to feature a titanium frame, which is not only tougher, but also allows for a thinner chassis. It is also protected in the front by Corning Gorilla Armour glass, which is not only tougher against scratches, it also reduces reflection by up to 75%.
The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+, on the other hand, retains the Armour Aluminium frame, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
