I traded in my iPhone 15 for this phone. I'll never go back to Apple. Iphones feel so outdated and boring since I've been using the s24

I've been using S24 for over a week and I'm very happy. Display is crisp, photos are great, sound playback is very nice. Feels very solid.

Just upgraded from my galaxy a8 (2018) and got the S24 today and it was so worth it. Best phone I've bought

[insid]

The reason I want an s24 is because of one thing: its size. A smaller phone is more comfortable, easier to forget about, and just looks cooler

The only thing S24 upgraded was software updates, AI things, and integration with Instagram and Snapchat (now you can use this phone just like an iPhone in socials).

I bought S24 (256gb) yesterday instead of iPhone 15 and I liked it. The camera and display is superb. I should've bought the Plus variant but it's too big and wide. No regrets

Anyone purchased samsungS24 today and watching the video like me🤩

Please make a dedicated camera comparison between exynos and snapdragon s24s.

Any thoughts on Vivid mode not working? Settings-->Display-->Screen Mode-->Vivid isn't doing anything. It's just Natural (even when vivid is selected), and most people switch from Natural when they get their Samsung phone.

That 7 years update support was a great value🙂

Serious issues on Samsung S24 with internet connection. No matter if you use wifi, 5G or 4G. After every 5-50 minutes connection is lost. Flight mode on and off will return the connection for a while but this is not how a new phone should work. Also the AI features were draining the battery very rapidly. After switching off all the unnecessary assisting features the battery life got 2-3 times longer.

I think the S24+ is the best model overall. Coming from the S23 128gb, Samsung's trade in program and their pre order promotions were too good to pass up on. I got the S24+ with the 12 gb ram, 512gb option. I'll miss the S23's compact design however.

This channel never disappoints. Great video

What this battery test does not test is the browsing over 4/5G. It's tested over wifi, which exynos handles good. The problem is the inefficient Exynos modem over 4/5G, despite a larger battery in the S24 the battery lasts 11% worse than S23! In this test you already get a good indication of this in the "calls" area of the battery test which is measured over 4G, S24=23:26h S23=30:52h. If you don't connect to wifi a lot that's a serious problem.

As an S23 owner since preorder last year, I don't see any reason to upgrade to S24. Even if there was 8 gen 3 in eu, the changes are so small that it doesn't make sense. Trade-in program is not nearly as appealing as in other countries, I would have to pay 400 dollars for S24. And I really don't want exynos. Even 8 gen 3 seems a bit more power-hungry than 8 gen 2. The battery life of S23 is amazing.

[kbjvuse]

Does the s23 and s24 still have the camera blurred issue?

[GFourGadget]

The best "compact" smartphone in 2024 for sure, but there's barely any upgrade from the S23, which is another great option at a cheaper price!

[IzendarToday]

How to get results in the 3DMark WildLife (non-Extreme)? Wherever i run the test on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or smth more powerful, I just get «Maxed Out» message🤔🤔

[bloodstone]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 is it worth upgrading to the s24?

[josapathlapiz]

Finna grab the S24+. My phone of 5 years has 64gb storage and cannot keep up with my tasks anymore. Will probably wait til' they go on sale next year. Hope my current phone holds up til' then
