<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSamsung Galaxy S24 Ultra specs:<\/strong> Processor:<\/strong> Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 | Display size: <\/strong>6.8 inches | Storage options:<\/strong> Up to 1TB | Rear cameras: <\/strong>200MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 50MP telephoto (5x), 10MP telephoto (3x) | Front camera: <\/strong>12MP | Battery: <\/strong>5,000mAh<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe S24 Ultra is the most expensive phone available, and Samsung is the first to fully embrace AI with its recently launched Galaxy S24 series. Numerous generative capabilities are brought to the device by the new Galaxy AI model embedded in it. These include real-time translations of phone calls, the ability to perform image-based Google searches by circling an object on the screen, AI-assisted transcription and photo editing, and a Chat Assist feature that can determine the appropriate tone for a message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The S24 Ultra, like its predecessor the S23 Ultra, comes equipped with a sturdy 5,000mAh battery and a big 6.8-inch AMOLED display. Despite costing $100 more than the S23 Ultra, the phone’s improvements make the $1,299 price increase worthwhile: Unlike last year’s aluminum frame, the S24 Ultra is composed of a lightweight yet sturdy titanium frame and is equipped with Corning’s latest Gorilla Armor technology. It is notably more durable, feels lighter in the hand, and has increased grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its internal components include a 12GB RAM bump from last year’s 8GB, an enhanced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset for better graphics and AI features, and 2,600 nits of brightness, which is a significant gain over 1,750 nits last year. The 50MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom added to the four-camera setup improved the clarity of photographs of far-off objects and made images crisper and easier to see in low light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus specs:<\/strong> Processor:<\/strong> Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 | Display size:<\/strong> 6.7 inches | Storage options: <\/strong>Up to 512GB | Rear cameras: <\/strong>50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP telephoto (3x) | Front camera: <\/strong>12MP | Battery:<\/strong> 4,900mAh<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Galaxy S24 Plus may not be as flashy as its S24 Ultra sibling, but it remains a formidable pick-up for shoppers eyeing a meaningful upgrade. The core experience of the Ultra model is present on the Plus, including Samsung’s new Galaxy AI model and all of the useful features it brings (like real-time phone call translations and the ability to circle an object on screen to perform an image-based Google search), the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, 256GB of base storage, and the flexible camera system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many people, the Plus-sized Galaxy S24 is the best option. Its 6.7-inch display is a great size for both casual consumers and power users. The S24 Plus also has several noticeable upgrades over the S23 Plus, including a brighter screen, larger battery, and better cameras. What sets it apart this year is its display resolution: For the first time, Samsung has equipped the Plus variant with a QHD, 1440 x 3088 resolution display, putting it in the same tier as the Ultra. As I noted in my hands-on review, that’s a major upgrade if you watch movies and videos on your phone, edit photos and videos, or read pages of text like this because everything looks sharper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another big factor is the price: The Galaxy S24 Plus starts at $999, the same as its predecessor — even with all of the hardware and software upgrades. On top of that, Samsung is now promising up to seven years of operating system updates for all Galaxy S24 models.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 tech <\/strong>specs: <\/strong>Processor:<\/strong> Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 | Main display:<\/strong> 7.6 inches | Cover display:<\/strong> 6.2 inches | RAM\/Storage:<\/strong> 12GB RAM with 256GB\/512GB\/1TB internal options | Cameras:<\/strong> 12MP ultrawide, 50MP wide angle, 10MP 3x telephoto, 10MP cover screen, 4MP under main display | Battery:<\/strong> 4,400mAh <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe 2020\u00a0Galaxy Z Fold 2\u00a0set the bar for foldable devices that also serve as mini tablets. The\u00a0Z Fold 3\u00a0improved on that phone with two of the most highly requested features from Fold users (S Pen support and IPX8 water resistance), while the\u00a0Z Fold 4\u00a0improved the rear cameras and form factor of the phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And now, with the Z Fold 5, you’ll get an upgraded processor in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which should improve the phone’s overall performance, from battery efficiency to camera capture. This year’s model is also notably thinner than the last, and thanks to the no-gap hinge mechanism, ZDNET’s Jason Hiner said in his review that “the Fold 5 feels like the way foldables always should have been.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also Read : The Clash Between Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra & iPhone 15 Pro Max!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Android 13 software found in the Z Fold 5 gives the phone some serious productivity upgrades, especially in terms of multi-app usage thanks to the improved Taskbar and wider support for gesture navigations that ease the transition from multiple active windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the Z Fold 4, the Fold 5’s cameras are not quite as good as the S23 Ultra’s suite, but the hardware is clearly superior to any foldable predecessor, and\u00a0the competition. And it certainly helps that the Z Fold 5 is not as heavy and bulky as its predecessors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\npros & cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\npros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- An innovative gapless folding design<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5<\/strong> tech specs: <\/strong>Processor:<\/strong> Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 | Main display:<\/strong> 6.7 inches | Cover display:<\/strong> 3.4 inches | RAM\/Storage:<\/strong> 8GB RAM with 256GB\/512GB internal options | Cameras:<\/strong> Two rear 12MP, 10MP selfie | Battery:<\/strong> 3,700mAh <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile the Z Fold 5 is the best Samsung foldable, it’s the new Z Flip 5 that will likely sell the most and appeal to the masses. Not only is the clamshell handset less expensive than the Z Fold, but it’s more compact and portable and has a more user-friendly learning curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shape-shifting displays aside, the Z Flip 5 is very similar to the standard Samsung Galaxy S-series flagship, with a large 6.7-inch AMOLED panel that’s crisp and bright, up to 512GB of RAM for those high-resolution pictures and videos, and a healthy 3,700mAh cell powering it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I tested the flip phone for weeks and was left impressed by how many refinements Samsung had made when compared to the last-gen Z Flip. Thanks to the new 3.4-inch outer display, the gapless hinge design, and improved durability, I noted in my full review that “unless Samsung unveils some form of XR headset later this year, the Z Flip 5 is without question the company’s most ambitious product of 2023.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Folks who thrive in social media and content creation especially will love the Z Flip 5’s ability to switch between shooting styles like\u00a0camcorder mode and flex mode, much like its predecessor, the Z Flip 4. The camera system on this is not on the level of Samsung’s Ultra and Plus phones, but it’s reliable enough for everyday captures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\npros & cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\npros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- High-quality materials, fit, and finish<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Best Samsung phone under $450<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n

Samsung Galaxy A54 5G tech <\/strong>specs: <\/strong>Processor:<\/strong> Samsung Exynos 1380 | Display:<\/strong> 6.4 inches| RAM\/Storage:<\/strong> 6GB\/128GB | Cameras:<\/strong> 50MP wide, 12MP ultrawide, 5MP macro, and 32MP front-facing camera | Battery:<\/strong> 5,000mAh<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile the flagship Galaxy S and Z fold series provide compelling options, they are flagship phones priced in the $900 and higher range. To offer customers another alternative, Samsung created the Galaxy A series, led by none other than the A54 5G.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are three key reasons why you should buy the Galaxy A54 5G over any other sub-$500 phone: For $449, you get a fantastic 6.4-inch AMOLED display that ramps up to 120Hz refresh rate, a triple-camera setup that includes a 50MP main sensor, and a beefy 5,000mAh battery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clearly, Samsung knows what features users value the most, and if you have preferences beyond that list, then there are plenty of other picks above and below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The A-series of smartphones also fall under Samsung’s\u00a0five-year commitment\u00a0to software and security updates, which is rare for devices in this price range. As I put it in my review of the device, “This $450 phone absolutely nails the essentials — things like a large display that feels as smooth as it looks, battery life that lasts, and software stability that similarly-priced phones simply can’t match.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\npros & cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\npros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Price is more than reasonable<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A ‘jack of all trades, master of none’ smartphone<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Reliable 5,000mAh battery<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Up to five years of software and security updates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Low-band 5G support<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Plasticky build quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Samsung Galaxy A14 5G tech <\/strong>specs: <\/strong>Processor:<\/strong> Mediatek Dimensity 700 | Display:<\/strong> 6.6 inches| RAM\/Storage:<\/strong> 4GB\/64GB | Cameras:<\/strong> 50MP wide, 2MP macro, 2MP depth sensor, and 13MP front-facing camera | Battery:<\/strong> 5,000mAh <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe flashiest of smartphone features tend to exist only on flagships, but many will find appeal in Samsung’s humble Galaxy A14 5G, which boasts 5G connectivity, a massive 5,000mAh battery, and a budget-friendly $200 price tag. That’s a compelling new package at a time when consumers are\u00a0cutting down on spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And don’t let the lower cost fool you; the Galaxy A14 5G has all the specs you’d want for a feasible mobile companion, from the relatively large 6.6-inch 90Hz display — a rarity in this price range — to the expandable storage (up to 1TB) to Samsung’s four-year commitment to security patches. Oh, and the front-facing camera is higher resolution than ever for the selfie-lover in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I spent time with the A15 5G just a week ago as my partner was upgrading to the Z Flip 5 mentioned above. The phone won’t feel like a million dollars, but it was surprisingly sturdy to hold — devices in this price range tend to feel more hollow and toy-like — and the 90Hz display looked great for app browsing and navigating around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\npros & cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\npros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Affordably priced and available unlocked<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Large 6.6-inch display with all-day battery life<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Extensive software support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Plastic build is not for all<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Macro and depth cameras are unreliable<\/li>\n\n\n\n

As I put it in my review of the device, “This $450 phone absolutely nails the essentials — things like a large display that feels as smooth as it looks, battery life that lasts, and software stability that similarly-priced phones simply can’t match.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n pros & cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Best cheap Samsung phone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Samsung Galaxy A14 5G tech <\/strong>specs: <\/strong>Processor:<\/strong> Mediatek Dimensity 700 | Display:<\/strong> 6.6 inches| RAM\/Storage:<\/strong> 4GB\/64GB | Cameras:<\/strong> 50MP wide, 2MP macro, 2MP depth sensor, and 13MP front-facing camera | Battery:<\/strong> 5,000mAh <\/p>\n\n\n\n The flashiest of smartphone features tend to exist only on flagships, but many will find appeal in Samsung’s humble Galaxy A14 5G, which boasts 5G connectivity, a massive 5,000mAh battery, and a budget-friendly $200 price tag. That’s a compelling new package at a time when consumers are\u00a0cutting down on spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And don’t let the lower cost fool you; the Galaxy A14 5G has all the specs you’d want for a feasible mobile companion, from the relatively large 6.6-inch 90Hz display — a rarity in this price range — to the expandable storage (up to 1TB) to Samsung’s four-year commitment to security patches. Oh, and the front-facing camera is higher resolution than ever for the selfie-lover in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I spent time with the A15 5G just a week ago as my partner was upgrading to the Z Flip 5 mentioned above. The phone won’t feel like a million dollars, but it was surprisingly sturdy to hold — devices in this price range tend to feel more hollow and toy-like — and the 90Hz display looked great for app browsing and navigating around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n pros & cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
