Making phone calls, sending messages, surfing the internet - for most people, everyday life without a smartphone is almost unthinkable. This makes it all the more important to be able to rely on the devices. Which model is the test winner? Which has the best mobile camera or the most powerful battery?...

Samsung has hit the bull's eye with the Galaxy S24+. It is more compact than the Ultra and offers almost as much. However, the small scope of delivery is disappointing.

After a long period of fine-tuning the camera, processor and other features, Samsung's AI offensive is finally bringing more movement back to the smart phone market: because all three devices are premium through and through. The brilliant displays are very bright, the performance is sufficient for the most complex mobile apps and the battery life of the Galaxy 24 Ultra is just under the best value...

The Galaxy S24 Plus lacks some of the highlights of the Ultra: no S Pen, no second phone, the Exynos processor is slightly slower than the Snapdragon in the Ultra. That's why power users often turn away. Wrongly so: in the core disciplines such as battery life, brightness and photos without zoom, it is only slightly worse. UWB wireless is also on board here.
