Motorola Razr+ 2024 vs Samsung Galaxy S24

Motorola Razr+ 2024

A dual 50MP system (wide + 2x telephoto, no ultrawide). It's competent and improved over the 2023 model, but the consensus weak point for a $1,000 phone — only 'good', not flagship-class.

• Motorola improved camera performance versus the Razr+ 2023 — the first area cited as better in the generation-over-generation comparison.
• Motorola dropped the ultrawide in favor of a telephoto — reviewers question whether losing the wide-angle was the right move.
• Even fans concede the camera is only 'just good' — the area where it falls short of Pixel/Samsung/Apple.
• 100+ photo and video samples were captured in New York City comparing it directly to the Pixel 8 Pro — a direct flagship-camera benchmark.

Samsung Galaxy S24

A 50MP main, 10MP 3x telephoto and 12MP ultrawide (identical to the S24+). Competent and consistent, but not the line's strength.

• Triple camera: 50MP main, 10MP 3x optical telephoto, 12MP ultrawide and a 12MP selfie, with strong portrait shots.
• The main camera captures fantastic detail and accurate colours; pro mode produces shots that look from a much more expensive camera.
• Run through DXOMARK's full camera suite for photo, video and zoom quality (Exynos variant).
• A Samsung owner notes the camera is the one clear downside versus a Pixel.
• Featured among the best camera smartphones of 2024 for its hardware-plus-software point-and-shoot results.

Motorola Razr+ 2024

Battery life is very good for a flip foldable and improved over the Razr 40 Ultra (more capacity + a more efficient chipset), with a fast 45W charger included — but it's still weaker than conventional slab phones at the price.

• Battery life is very good — helped by ~200mAh more capacity than the Razr 40 Ultra and a more efficient chipset.
• Motorola includes a rapid charging brick in the box that refuels at the phone's max 45W (and can supply 68W to other hardware).
• Battery life improved, but is still significantly weaker than conventional (non-folding) phones in this price range.

Samsung Galaxy S24

A 4,000mAh cell (up from the S23's 3,900) with markedly better endurance — but charging is still capped at an unchanged 25W.

• Battery grew from 3,900mAh to 4,000mAh; video playback hit 17:46h (~4h more than the S23 and beating the Pixel 8), browsing 9:46h, gaming 7:34h.
• Charging remains 25W wired / 15W wireless / 4.5W reverse with no UWB — unchanged from the S23.
• In a multi-phone endurance test the Snapdragon S24 outlasted a Pixel 8 that has a 22%-bigger battery — Tensor G3 is clearly less efficient than the Exynos 2400.
• After a year of charging, gaming and streaming the battery still measured 100% health at 302 cycles (Samsung's hidden diagnostics).
• The Exynos S24 ran hotter (43°C even on Wi-Fi) and was the first to die in the multi-phone drain test.

Motorola Razr+ 2024

At ~$1,000 it's the premium flip flagship. Reviewers' favorite flip of 2024 and a Forbes foldable standout — but the value argument hinges on prizing the cover screen and design over camera and raw performance.

• A reviewer who spent two months with it called it 'my favorite flip foldable phone of the year'.
• Named among Forbes' 2024 standout smartphones in the foldable category.
• Owners call it 'the best flip phone out there' — though Motorola's slower updates are the main reservation.
• The skeptical counterpoint: inferior cameras and software make non-Pixel/Samsung/Apple phones hard to justify unless significantly cheaper.
• Android Authority's framing — 'Motorola Razr Plus review: Should you buy it?' — captures that the answer depends on whether the cover screen and design outweigh the compromises.

Samsung Galaxy S24

Launched at $799 (128GB) — $50 cheaper than the S23 — and now an exceptional sub-$400 used buy. The recurring criticism is the 256GB upcharge.

• 'The best small Android smartphone gets cheaper but not better' — $799 for 128GB, $50 less than its predecessor.
• It's safe to assume the S24 is still worth buying in 2026, much as an iPhone 15 is worth owning after the iPhone 17.
• After serious testing, USA Today's Reviewed recommends the Samsung Galaxy S24 to most people.
• At around $400 used in 2026 it's an excellent device that still feels like a flagship — just expect some battery degradation.
• At $800 the fingerprint sensor, GPS and Bluetooth modules should be better, and the 256GB-over-128GB upcharge is 'theft.'
