Both the Samsung Galaxy S24 and Samsung Galaxy S24+ are made with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and have an aluminium frame. 

These make the phones lightweight and less prone to scratches. 

The phones also have rounded edges that provide a better grip.

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is covered with Gorilla Armor glass and a titanium frame. 

This makes it more resistant to scratches and damage compared to the Samsung Galaxy S24 and Samsung Galaxy S24+

Its flat design with angular edges also helps to reduce light reflections. 

All 3 phones have an IP68 waterproof rating, meaning they can survive underwater depths of up to 1.5 metres for approximately 30 minutes.

They also come with an FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and the ability to support Dual-SIM, eSIMs and Nano-SIMS.

Wondering how these compare to the Galaxy S23 series?
