What Will Be The Must-Have Phone Of 2024?

The definition of the must-have phone for 2024 will change depending on whom you ask. iPhone users who want all the bells and whistles of the fanciest camera and fastest chip will want the iPhone 15 Pro, while Android users wanting the same will go for the Samsung Galaxy S24.

But, if it’s innovative screen technology you care about, then the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 will be the star of the show because of its large, folding screen that blurs the line between phones and tablets.

“There really is something for everyone now,” says John Wong, The Good Guys – Mobiles and Plans. “There are small, light, stylish folding phones, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and affordable gems from Motorola, as well as some of the most advanced mobile chips on the market in the iPhone range.”

With the latest advances in phones, you can expect to see 5G more broadly across even the most budget ranges, faster chips for gaming, and even better cameras in the race for mobile photography supremacy.

When Does The new iPhone Come Out?

While you would need a crystal ball to be sure, Apple’s iPhone is usually released in September during an event at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, USA. The iPhone will come in four variants: the iPhone 16 regular and Pro models, each with a regular and big screen size to choose from.

When Does The New Samsung Galaxy Smartphone Come Out?

Wonderful news for all Samsung enthusiasts eager for an upgrade! Brace yourselves for the Galaxy S24 Series, already making waves with the introduction of Galaxy AI. This series, featuring the S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra, is a showcase of the latest and greatest innovations, all packed with brand-new AI features.

If you're keeping an eye on your wallet, the more budget-friendly A Series is worth exploring. Typically making its debut in March, this series strikes a perfect balance between affordability and impressive features.

And for those with a taste for the extraordinary, dive into the world of the Galaxy Z Folding Range – a foldable smartphone that redefine the boundaries of innovation.

What Are The Must-Have Phones Available Now?

John Wong says the best time to buy a phone is when you need one. “With technology, it can be tempting to wait for the next big release, but there’s always going to be another one around the corner. If you really want a new phone now, and one of the current models is catching your eye, it’s always best to get what you need when you need it,” he says.
