Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus gets Rs 47,000 discount, but read this before considering it
Back in the day, when models like the Galaxy S6 Edge, S8, or S9 ruled the Android space, their "Plus" counterparts commanded as much attention as the standard versions. They offered bigger displays, larger batteries, and often a slightly more premium experience. However, since the introduction of the Ultra series with the Galaxy S20 lineup, the "Plus" models have found themselves stuck in the middle — not as compact and accessible as the standard variant, nor as feature-packed as the Ultra. Still, that middle ground has its appeal, especially for those who want something bigger without going all out.advertisementTake the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus, for example. This was Samsung's top-tier offering just a few months ago, and now, it's available for Rs 52,999 — a massive Rs 47,000 discount from its original launch price of Rs 99,999. For context, the recently launched Galaxy S25 Plus starts at that very same Rs 99,999 mark. While the S25 Plus does come with its own improvements, at this price, the S24 Plus becomes an incredibly compelling option. Here's why it still holds strong in 2025.What makes the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus special?First, let's talk about the display. The Galaxy S24 Plus features a 6.7-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED panel with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,600 nits. That's the kind of display you'd typically find on much more expensive phones, including Samsung's own Ultra models. It's sharp, vibrant, and one of the best screens you can get at this price.advertisement
Under the hood, the phone runs on Samsung's in-house Exynos 2400 chip, paired with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. In day-to-day use, this hardware delivers smooth performance, whether you're gaming, multitasking, or streaming. Benchmark numbers aside, the real-world experience is fluid — and for most users, that's what matters. Notably, this was also the model where Samsung made 12GB RAM standard on the Plus and Ultra variants.Battery life is another strong suit. The 4,900mAh battery easily lasts a full day with mixed usage, and while it supports 45W fast charging, you'll need a compatible charger for optimal speeds. Wireless charging is supported too, though capped at 15W. It's not the fastest in its class, but it's reliable — and that counts for a lot.Build quality, as expected, is premium. The phone uses an aluminium frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both sides. It feels sturdy yet sleek in hand, and the design — while similar to the S23 and S25 series — is clean, minimal, and durable. You also get IP68 water and dust resistance, which is always a welcome addition.Camera performance is solid, too. The setup includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. While it doesn't match the versatility of the Ultra's camera system, it still captures detailed, well-balanced shots in most lighting conditions. How do I know? Well, I've personally used the Galaxy S24 extensively in 2024, and both the standard and Plus models share the same camera hardware. Low-light performance is decent, and videos come out stable and crisp. Even the 12-megapixel front camera holds its own for selfies and video calls.advertisementSoftware is another area where Samsung shines. The Galaxy S24 Plus launched with Android 14 and One UI 6.1, and Samsung has promised seven years of software and security updates — a rarity in the Android world. You also get a suite of Galaxy AI features, including Live Translate and Note Assist. These aren't just gimmicks; they genuinely enhance the user experience in meaningful ways.Of course, there are alternatives worth considering. But none of them quite match the all-round balance of the Galaxy S24 Plus at this discounted price.And that's where this deal stands out. You're getting a flagship-grade experience with top-tier display, solid performance, premium build, and long-term software support — all for nearly half the launch price. If you're someone who wants a big phone with flagship-level features but without the Ultra price tag, the Galaxy S24 Plus at Rs 52,999 is a smart, well-rounded choice in 2025.

This could lead to a further spike in crude oil prices, and we could witness volatile trading sessions this week. Investors need to brace themselves for increased volatility, while at the same time, stay Nifty has been in a consolidation mode, for the past few weeks, with strong support seen around the 24,400-24,600 zone whereas immediate resistance on the upside is seen around the 25,200-25,400 zone.

Hence, an ideal mix of a Tier1 & a Tier2 stock can be looked at from a long-term investment the financial sector has performed exceedingly well in the current quarter, and with the recent RBI rate cut of 50 basis points and a 100-basis cut in CRR, spread over 4 tranches starting September till November, is likely to infuse Rs.2.5 trillion into the banking system by year this clearly indicates, that going forward, that credit growth shall be a key theme. Given such optimism in this sector, it is very likely that FIIs have begun buying into the sector, and this sector could see solid double digit growth in coming years. As far as the energy sector is concerned, there are too many variables at play, both in the domestic and global scenario, hence it would be advisable to adopt a cautious renewables space is something that can be looked at from a long-term and smallcaps have indeed delivered superior returns over the past month, as compared to large caps, on the back of the expectations that many stocks in these categories are likely to report better financial numbers in the coming quarters.
