The Galaxy Z Fold5 was released in August 2023 and is the latest phone in the Galaxy Z series. The standout feature of the Galaxy Z Fold5 lies in its expansive 7.6” Infinity Flex Display. It uniquely blends a tablet-like experience within the confines of a smartphone and boasts an impressive vertical folding form.

Both devices come loaded with the latest Samsung camera software, offering advanced features like Nightography and Camera AI.

Samsung Galaxy A54 5G vs S24+: What’s the difference?

The Galaxy A series is Samsung's mid-range of smartphones that combine innovative features with an affordable price tag. The Galaxy A54 5G is the newest smartphone in the A series and was released in March 2023.

The Galaxy A54 5G and Galaxy S24+ have a similar design, with a flat display and three individual camera lenses on the rear. However, the Galaxy S24+ has a more premium feel thanks to its enhanced Armour Aluminium frame and Gorilla Glass Victus2 display. When it comes to performance, the Galaxy S24+ ups the ante with a super powerful processor; the Exynos 2400. The powerful processor takes gaming to another level with mind-blowing graphics and smooth, responsive gameplay. The A54 5G has a less powerful processor; the Exynos 1380, which can handle most tasks but may struggle with graphic intensive gaming apps.

Whilst they are also almost the same weight, the Galaxy S24+ has a larger screen at 6.7 inches vs. 6.4 inches for the Galaxy A54 5G. The real difference comes in the display technology where the Galaxy S24+ benefits from impressive QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2x and Adaptive Vision Booster. The high resolution of the Galaxy S24+ (3120 x 1440 vs. 2340 x 1080 pixels) paired with an incredible 2600 nits of brightness means that all the content you see looks vibrant, even when you’re outside. In fact, phones in the Galaxy S24 series boast Samsung’s brightest screens yet so you’ll see everything in perfect detail wherever life takes you.

Unlike the A54 5G, the Galaxy S24+ is also packed with powerful AI tech that are designed to save you time and effort, while allowing you to do a whole lot more with your phone. For example, Chat Assist provides content suggestions, whether you’re messaging a mate or writing a post on social media. For pictures that really pop, enhanced AI Nightography captures every shade and texture even in the dark, and when it comes to photo editing Photo Assist gives you recommendations and automatic improvements.
