There's no comparison; the A24 takes the win in display brightness and color accuracy. The SoC is superior with double the GPU performance, a better user interface, enhanced sound quality and loudness, as well as a superior main and selfie camera. It even features a newer Bluetooth version. The only issue is that the charger isn’t included in the box.
