The Galaxy S24+ uses more organizer space in a bag or backpack; the iPhone 16e leaves more room beside cases and chargers, and the Galaxy S24+ adds more listed mass to a packed carry.

Choose the Galaxy S24+ if thinner 7.7 mm profile (vs 7.8 mm) matter most to you, even though it also has higher listed weight (196g vs 167g), wider 75.9 mm body (vs 71.5 mm), taller 158.5 mm frame (vs 146.7 mm), and larger overall footprint (75.9 × 158.5 mm vs 71.5 × 146.7 mm) compared with the iPhone 16e.

Choose the iPhone 16e if lighter listed weight (167g vs 196g), narrower 71.5 mm width (vs 75.9 mm), shorter 146.7 mm height (vs 158.5 mm), and smaller width × height footprint (71.5 × 146.7 mm vs 75.9 × 158.5 mm) matter most to you, even though it also has thicker 7.8 mm edge (vs 7.7 mm) compared with the Galaxy S24+.

Overall, the iPhone 16e is the more compact pick on listed size, and the Galaxy S24+ is the larger option for buyers who want more physical presence from the official dimensions alone.
