Samsung Galaxy S24+ 512GB/256GB
The S24+, Sleek and Powerful

I have been using my new Samsung S24+ for close to 3 weeks now, and so far I have been very impressed.
Starting with the unboxing experience, the phone comes in an understated black cardboard box, but as soon as you get inside the phone itself looks very sleek. After much deliberation I went for the Oynx Black and I'm really happy with how it looks in the satin finish.
The S24+ feels great in the hand - substantial, but not bulky. I opted to purchase one of the cases Samsung offered as I am exceptionally clumsy, and it still remains comfy to hold.
Be warned, the S24 series phones do not come with a power brick, just a USB-C cable as part of a plan to reduce e-waste. Thankfully you wont need to charge it often as the battery life it gets is massive; I am currently sat at 58% battery, despite having last charged my phone a good 34 hours ago. The wireless charging in my car, something my previous device lacked, is also fantastically useful. No more arriving after a long drive to see that android auto has wiped out half my battery life!
The screen truly does look glorious! The 6.7" display is, to me, the perfect size to fit in the hand without compromising the ability to "one hand" the phone. With the massive 3120 x 1440 resolution it uses, the pixel density makes sure everything looks incredibly sharp. Colours are vibrant with deep blacks and a sensibly set screen brightness out of the box, even moving into intense sunlight the screen remains really easy to read. I have briefly tried watching HDR content and this only serves to take things to another level.
The fingerprint sensor on the S24+ is embedded in this screen and not only recognised my fingerprint every time, but its exceptionally quick too, bordering on instant.
I've only had limited opportunities to use the camera but the few photos and videos I have taken have been crystal clear, I have included one from a recent London day out, with the camera focussing extremely quickly and shots looking very natural, even in lower light environments.
Lastly the AI features, I wasn't sure how useful I would find these, but the circle to search feature is surprisingly helpful. Seen an obscure image and wondered what it was? Just circle it and you'll likely know seconds later. The photo editing magic of just removing things is neat, but potentially needs a little extra polishing to be perfect.
Overall, very happy customer, and the S24 is well worth considering if you are looking for a new phone.
