The next major difference that could shift buying decisions is the battery size. The Galaxy S24+ comes equipped with a bigger 4,900 mAh battery that is said to last up to 31 hours and 92 hours of video and audio playback sessions, respectively. The standard Galaxy S24 is armed with a 4,000mAh battery that delivers an expected lower 29 hours of video playback time and 78 hours of audio playback. It’s also worth noting here that the battery drain on Galaxy S24 will also be quicker at demanding tasks such as gaming or recording high-resolution videos.
But it’s not just the battery size that should factor in your buying decision. The Samsung Galaxy S24+ supports 45W wired charging, meaning an empty tank can reach 65% in just 30 minutes. On the Galaxy S24, wired charging output peaks at 25W, which can only fill the smaller battery up to the halfway mark in half an hour. Wireless charging, as well as reverse power share, are available on both phones, but once again, the power drain on the Galaxy S24+ will be less taxing due to the larger battery while juicing up another device.
