Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy S24
Our Verdict: The Galaxy S24 is two years newer than the Galaxy S22 Plus, and it shows in the specs. There's more battery in the S22+ 5G, 4500mAh to 4000mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the S22+ 5G has the bigger screen at 6.6" against 6.2", while the S24 has the sharper one at 416 PPI. The S24 is the lighter phone at 167g against 195g. The S24 is the better phone; upgrade from the S22+ 5G if you want the newer hardware, or hold on if yours still does the job.
Buying outright, the S22+ 5G starts at £185 SIM-free.
