How do I check the image counter of my Samsung Galaxy S24+?

Install Expert RAW from the Galaxy Store, take a photo in RAW mode, transfer the DNG file to a computer via USB-C, then drop it into shuttercount.app. Alternatively, use the stock Camera app Pro mode with RAW output enabled.

What chipset does the Samsung Galaxy S24+ use?

In the US, Canada, and South Korea, the Galaxy S24+ uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. In most other regions (Europe, Asia Pacific), it uses the Samsung Exynos 2400. Both chipsets produce identical DNG files with the same image counter mechanism.

What is the difference between the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra?

The S24+ has a 6.7-inch QHD+ display (vs 6.2-inch FHD+ on base S24), a larger battery (4,900 mAh vs 4,000 mAh), and a brighter peak brightness of 2,600 nits. The S24 Ultra adds a 200 MP main sensor, integrated S Pen, 5× periscope zoom, and titanium frame. All share the same Expert RAW DNG image counter mechanism.

Can the image counter on a Galaxy S24+ be reset?

No. The image counter is a persistent hardware counter. It cannot be reset by a factory reset, OS reinstall, or any user action, making it a reliable measure of total device usage history.

How to Check Image Counter

Q: Does the Samsung Galaxy S24+ have a mechanical shutter?

No. The Samsung Galaxy S24+ uses CMOS electronic readout only across all three cameras — main (50 MP, f/1.8), ultrawide (12 MP), and telephoto (10 MP 3×). There is no mechanical focal-plane shutter. The DNG image counter embedded in Expert RAW files records total electronic captures.

The Samsung Galaxy S24+ (2024) shoots in DNG RAW via Expert RAW and has no mechanical shutter — the image counter stored in each DNG file records total electronic captures across all cameras. Drop an Expert RAW DNG file to read it instantly.

Galaxy S24+ — Triple Camera, 6.7-Inch QHD+, Electronic Shutter Only

The Samsung Galaxy S24+ is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy (US/Korea) or Exynos 2400 (other regions) and features a 50 MP main camera (f/1.8, 23 mm equiv, PDAF, OIS), a 12 MP ultrawide (f/2.2, 120°), and a 10 MP 3× telephoto (f/2.4, 69 mm equiv, OIS). The 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display offers 120 Hz with up to 2,600 nits peak brightness.

Like all Galaxy S smartphones, the S24+ uses CMOS electronic readout only. There is no mechanical focal-plane shutter. Every photo increments the persistent image counter embedded in Expert RAW DNG files.

Model	Release	Main Sensor	Shutter Type	RAW Format
Galaxy S24+	2024	50 MP (f/1.8, OIS)	Electronic only	DNG (Expert RAW)
Galaxy S24	2024	50 MP (f/1.8, OIS)	Electronic only	DNG (Expert RAW)
Galaxy S24 Ultra	2024	200 MP (f/1.7, OIS)	Electronic only	DNG (Expert RAW)
Galaxy S25+	2025	50 MP (f/1.7, OIS)	Electronic only	DNG (Expert RAW)

No mechanical shutter — no shutter wear: The Galaxy S24+ has no focal-plane shutter mechanism. The counter in the Expert RAW DNG file reflects total electronic captures and has no bearing on hardware wear or remaining service life.

How to Check the Samsung Galaxy S24+ Image Counter

Install Expert RAW: Open the Galaxy Store and install Expert RAW (free). Expert RAW provides multi-frame RAW fusion and saves full-resolution DNG files to your gallery.
Take a RAW photo: Open Expert RAW and capture any photo. The DNG is saved to DCIM/ExpertRAW. Alternatively, use Pro mode in the stock Camera app with RAW output enabled.
Transfer the DNG to a computer: Connect via USB-C, select “File transfer” mode, and copy the .dng file to your computer.
Drop into shuttercount.app: Drag the DNG onto shuttercount.app. The image counter is read from the DNG metadata and displayed immediately — no upload.
Alternative — ExifTool: Run exiftool -ImageNumber yourfile.dng to read the counter directly.

    Note on chipset variants: Both the Snapdragon (US/Korea) and Exynos (global) S24+ produce identical DNG files with the same image counter format. The counter reading works the same way on both variants.
  

What to Check When Buying a Used Samsung Galaxy S24+

What to Check	How
Battery health	Settings → Battery → Battery status. Aim for >80% capacity.
QHD+ display	Inspect the 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X for burn-in, dead pixels, and corner delamination.
Camera lenses	Test all three cameras in good lighting; check autofocus and telephoto optical zoom.
Armor Aluminum frame	Check for dents at USB-C port, corners, and button area.
Image counter	High count (>40,000) indicates intensive use — useful context, not hardware wear.

    Chipset matters for resale: Exynos 2400 variants (common in Europe) historically have slightly different performance profiles vs Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Check the box or Settings → About Phone to confirm chipset before buying used.
