Samsung has upgraded the Galaxy S24 series displays in more than one way, but of the three flagship variants, the Galaxy S24+ variant makes the furthest on-generation leap by far.
Across the entire series, the new Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays — featuring LTPO / HOP backplanes — offer faster touch response times and maximum brightness levels of 2,600 nits.
The new Samsung flagships for 2024 also boast improved Vision Booster technology and a brand-new feature called Adaptive Color Tone. And for the first time, the base and Plus models get an adaptive refresh rate of 1-120Hz, up from 48-120Hz.
However, while the Galaxy S24 and S24 Ultra display resolutions remain nearly the same, the Galaxy S24+ is this year's model to benefit from the biggest resolution upgrade.
Galaxy S24+ now matches the Ultra's display resolution
The base Galaxy S24 has the same display resolution of 2340 x 1080 as the Galaxy S23. And thanks to thinner bezels and a slight change in aspect ratio, the Galaxy S24 Ultra display offers a marginally higher pixel count than the Galaxy S23 Ultra, clocking in at 3120 x 1440 pixels instead of 3088 x 1440.
But the Galaxy S24+ gets the real upgrade here. The 2024 model now boasts a resolution of 3120 x 1440, matching the S24 Ultra and leaving the Galaxy S23+ in the dust. The 2023 model has an FHD+ resolution of 2340 x 1080, but the latest flagship embraces QHD.
Furthermore, the Galaxy S24+ has a slightly larger 6.7-inch display than the 6.6-inch panel on the Galaxy S23+.
Galaxy S24+ display is technically crisper
Here's an interesting side-effect of this upgrade. The higher resolution of the Galaxy S24+ means it offers a crisper image quality even compared to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The Galaxy S24+ must cram all those pixels in a smaller display area of 6.7 inches compared to the Ultra's 6.8 inches. And because the Plus matches the Ultra's resolution, its panel has the highest pixel density.
The S24+ screen tops 516 pixels per inch, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra has 505ppi. It's not a huge difference, and you probably won't notice it with the naked eye. Nevertheless, technically speaking, the Dynamic AMOLEd 2X display of the Galaxy S24+ is the crispest.
You can pre-order the Galaxy S24 series now, ahead of the official January 31 release date, and benefit from free memory upgrades and other bonuses (market-dependent).
