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, and largely unchanged from the S23+. Competent but the line's weak point.

• The S24+ and S24 share the exact same rear camera specs and chipset, so DXOMARK results are identical to the S24.
• Three-camera system: 50MP 24mm main, 10MP 67mm 3x telephoto and 12MP 13mm ultrawide, plus a 12MP selfie.
• A solid all-rounder with a premium design and great screen, but the camera setup in particular needs some TLC.
• The cameras are preferred over the iPhone's by this owner, but still feel like smartphone cameras — soft on fine detail with a lesser telephoto.
• Cameras are very good but didn't surprise — for higher quality you need to step up to the Ultra series.
• iPhone takes it on video recording, but the S24+ is still super great with strong overall quality and a nice 12MP selfie.

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 4,900mAh battery (+200mAh vs S23+) with 45W wired and 15W wireless. All-day life is consistent; charging is unremarkable by 2026 standards.

• 4,900mAh battery — 200mAh more than the S23+ — added without increasing the phone's weight.
• Around 10 hours of screen-on-time is achievable for some owners on the S24+.
• Typically 3–4 hours of screen time with 30% left by bedtime, and at least 15% on heavier days.
• 45W fast charging still feels good, though it's no longer a standout against 2026 fast-charging rivals.
• Screen-on-time landed around 6–7 hours after the One UI 8 update (down slightly from 7–8 before), with no display or green-line issues.

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 $999 (256GB), the S24+ is widely framed as the best-value S24 and an exceptional used buy in 2026.

• PhoneArena's verdict is explicit: 'Skip the Ultra, buy the Plus.'
• Titled outright as 'A Good Phone and the Best S24 for Most People.'
• It was the most interesting S24 upgrade — more RAM, higher-resolution display and bigger battery at the same $1,000 starting price.
• Two years on at around $350–$400 used, nothing beats the S24 on price-to-performance — SD 8 Gen 3, big battery, good cameras and 5 more years of updates.
• After 2 months it's 'the one to get this year from Samsung' for most buyers.
• As a $1,000 flagship it deserves better speakers than it ships with.
