The release of the Galaxy S24 series has pushed Samsung to the front of the 2024 smartphone race. However, it has left me with a question that has plagued me since Galaxy Unpacked: what is the point of the Galaxy S24 Plus, or the Plus versions of Galaxy phones in general?
The concept behind the Plus phones is relatively simple, it's about making a middle ground for customers. The idea is to have a phone with some differences from the base Galaxy model but is not as large a difference as the Ultra model. This usually takes the form of more storage, RAM and a larger screen. However, the issue is that the breadth of changes seems to have lessened and, what with the lack of any major hardware changes, makes the Plus model seem pointless. This wasn't always the case, in fact, the first plus model was quite different from its contemporary.
