Since the Galaxy S20+, all the Galaxy S Plus flagships came with an FHD+ resolution. But that changed with the Samsung Galaxy S24+. It’s the first Galaxy S Plus phone to come with a QHD+ resolution. And this is one of the biggest upgrades for the phone among all the other improvements.
But the thing is, the display of the Samsung Galaxy S24+ doesn’t run on QHD+ by default. Users will need to change the display resolution from FHD+ manually to enjoy more detail-rich and crisp images on the panel. However, the good part is that you don’t need to go through any intricate steps to change the resolution.
How to Change the Display Resolution of the Samsung Galaxy S24+
While the Samsung Galaxy S24+ display doesn’t run QHD+ by default, it’s easy to switch it from FHD+. All you need to do is get to the Settings app, head over to “Display,” and tap on the Screen Resolution option. From the options presented, choose the “QHD+ 3120 x 1440” option and hit apply.

Now, let’s talk about why Samsung Galaxy S24+ runs FHD+ by default. The thing is, QHD+ resolution makes the device render more pixels than the FHD+. This higher pixel count requires more processing power, which eventually means more power requirement.
In other words, on the QHD+ resolution, the battery of the Galaxy S24+ will drain faster than the FHD+. So, does this mean you will get significantly less battery life if you switch from FHD+? The battery life hit will depend on how you use the app. For example, if you tend to play games often, the QHD+ battery hit will be relatively big.
On the other hand, if you run nothing but regular apps, such as social media apps, the battery hit will not be that noticeable. Also, you can always switch back to the FHD+ resolution on the Samsung Galaxy S24+ when you notice a poor battery life.
