If you're looking for a budget-friendly option with a headphone jack and a larger screen, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ is suitable, but its camera, display quality, and performance are outclassed by the newer and typically much more expensive Samsung Galaxy S24. The S24 features a higher refresh rate for smoother visuals, superior camera capabilities with more advanced features for both photos and videos, and more modern internals like a newer processor and 5G connectivity, which could result in better future-proofing. However, its screen is slightly smaller and it lacks a headphone jack. Decide based on whether price, camera capabilities, and cutting-edge features outweigh the need for a larger screen and a headphone jack. Give Feedback
