Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs Galaxy S24: Which One Should You Get?

With a difference of over Rs 30,000 separating the two phones, we would recommend the Galaxy S24 Plus for most users as it offers a full-fledged flagship experience with few compromises. However, the Galaxy S24 Ultra brings quite a few upgrades over its 'Plus' counterpart, particularly in the camera department. For photography enthusiasts, the Galaxy S24 Ultra should be the obvious choice.

But beyond photography, the Snapdragon chip on the S24 Ultra delivers better gaming and AI performance over its Exynos counterpart. The Galaxy S24+ is suitable for 90% of users, although if you are looking for a versatile camera for niche photography scenarios, then the S24 Ultra is worth the extra price, not only for its cameras but for all the other upgrades combined.
