@@Strawberryknight was I supposed to mention all that shit? I could name 10 flaws/downgrades D with the phone, without mentioning any of the APPS you mentioned.. 🤷♀️
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).
does the instagram template thing for stories work on the s24? i'm thinking about upgrading to the s24 from my s22 which doesn't support that feature and it's bugging me so much 🥲
I agree with everything you just said but this part "integration with Instagram and Snapchat (now you can use this phone just like an iPhone in socials)" is the most important thing for the users and this is this reason why people are gonna buy this phone. Sad but true.
This is just pure cope from S23 owners and I have no idea how your comment is getting upvotes, because that is definitely NOT the case. Display, brightness, processor, low light camera, and charging times are all improved in the S24. Nice try bud.
Another great video, I've been using Xperia 5s for a while now, but they always seem to let me down, so I've ordered this model S24, due to its compact size and features. I hope it doesn't disappoint.
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.
As far as value goes, it's definitely the best model. But I just returned mine due to weight and size, and chose to import a Snapdragon S24 from the US at the same price, losing a lot of value overall. Coming from an S10e and the S24+ simply feels huge and heavy.
@@dennisjames9091 Yeah I hear you. I went from the S10e to S23 and I've never used big phones beyond 6.1 inches. The base S24 is what I originally wanted it's still a beast so I'm sure you'll be happy with it. There's always pros and cons but long-term a smaller phone is better for everyday activities. Not sure if I'll get used to a 6.7 phone still waiting to get it shipped out. I only got the plus because of the upgrades. You made the right choice getting the Snapdragon version that's an added bonus in performance and battery.
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.
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
S24 is actually cheaper if you buy it now. In my country, There's so many deals and bundling. And s23 price is stagnant..maybe because it has SD processor, so sellers think it's valid excuse to sell a year old phones at the same price with current model :(.
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.
Have a look at this test from techno hi testet the S24 exynos 2400 against the S24 with SD 8 gen 3 before and arter that update his test is more reliabile then this standard test . In this test you can see that the 8 gen 3 on S24 does alot better in both camera and batterylife .
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.
@@rindershow212 I've gotten lots of use out of it, and it's still works! I'll be able to get more use out of an S24 if anything because of its 7 years of software updates.
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 used to always get the newest phones when they came out but the contracts got ridiculous so I switched to prepaid and started with a galaxy a53 and honestly for what I use the phone for the galaxy a53 was no different than any of the flagship phones. The flagship phones have more options but those options are really ones I dont use. The a53 has fast charging, battery life is great, it has an excellent camera, it's fairly fast and the best thing about it Is I got the phone for $100 and unlimited talk, text amd data for $50 a month through boost mobile. This year I got the galaxy a54 and the phone is good but I actually liked the a53 a little better. I've been using the lower end phones for a couple years now and have been very happy with them but I just found a Great deal for $60 a month and that includes a new galaxy s24 and and an unlimited plan so I really couldn't pass that up. When I get that phone and use it for a little while I'll really be able to see if I really need a flagship phone. I really hope the speakers are loud because every phone I've had it always seems like the speakers kinda sucked whether it was the cheap phone or the expensive ones. Great review
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
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🤔🤔
Go into 'my device' on the bottom, scroll to 'performance range' and here you can choose which benchmark score to display (eg Your best score, XXXXX, is better than XX% of results for this model)
Great review! Would you be willing to do an S24 (regular) vs. iPhone 15 Pro (non-max) camera comparison video? I am going to buy one of these two phones and I would appreciate it so much!
@@petermikus2363 Because of feature parity. The S24 Regular has the same hardware features (120Hz screen, 3X zoom lens, 8GB RAM, etc.) as the iPhone 15 Pro, not the regular iPhone 15, and for a much cheaper price.
@@manu-singh Dont know if Germany exlusive, but it was the following: first: There was a code for a free Watch 6 if you buy a S24. Then there was the Samsung Members Code 5% and the "broken smartphone" trade in. You can send your broken smartphone in and you will get 200€ off the price. Also i got 1 year Samsung care+ and a case for free. For just 650€ and my broken Huawei P8lite. No brainer.
I trade in my S22 for the S24 (which normally I keep my phones for 4-6 years) and I could definitely tell some improvements. For example, the battery is bigger and can lasts me almost a whole day. Even when heavy use, it lasts much longer than the S22.
So happy to read this.. waiting for my new S24 to arrive :) I have S22 for 2 years now, love it, but the battery is killing me, so your comment was so useful 😊
Hope you are less disappointed than i was..... holy hell this thing sucks.... worst samsung to date. it cant even properly utilize its impressive specs. it also constantly crashes and closes apps by itself. the driver support is also shit. gaming on this thing is infuriating. All this power and no way to utilize more than maybe 45% of it. and thats if it doesnt randomly decide to close on you. apps will close while you are in the middle of using them, but especially if you switch to another window. changing settings to make it stop does NOT work. ive tried like 4 or 5 different things that were supposed to make it stop and none of them had ANY effect whatsoever. its still the most infuriating phone to ever exist. i absolutely hate samsung. never again. every day i spend hours just trying to get things to work as intended. i have 3 kids younger than 6..... i simply dont have time for this shit. hopefully i save someone some trouble by posting this. get another phone. preferably one that doesnt have the snapdragon 8 gen 3.
Nah it is. S22 snapdragon or exynos, is very shitty when it comes to battery. for heavy user, s22 battery is just terrible. S23 and s24 are very battery efficient. Battery alone is a big deal of an upgrade
@@nilskiemle9556 even s23 and s24 has a difference of 7 hours when it comes to video playing. I think it is worth the price if you are hanging out on social media a lot.
Are you kidding me? The iPhone 13 maxes out at 12MP photos, while the S24 does 50MP. Also, the iPhone 13 always makes blue skies look artificially blue (I know, I have one), while the S24 doesn't do this. Finally, the iPhone 13 does not show vivid colors accurately in photos (like the reds in roses), but the S24 looks like it may be among the first smartphones to do reds properly. What exactly are you talking about when you say the S24's camera is disappointing you? I'm planning to buy one unless there's some hidden flaw I'm unaware of.
Everybody likes what they like > I too prefer the cameras on some I phone models in certain situations. Overall I think Samsung gives you the most bang for your buck over any I phone. But it comes down to what users like.
It's not. After a while your eyes get used to and it's not enough. That's my only grip with my S23. But well, considering it's not worth to change of phone only for this, I will wait a bit - I don't use IA features at all.
"Exynos might rub some people the wrong way" is putting it mildly. Its like taking sandpaper to your iris.... Thats how much people hate Exynos.Myself included... from personal experience....
7 years for updates seems great. I do like that they have an option for 256 gigs of storage,as opposed to the S21 having only 128 gigs on hand. This is one of the phones that I am looking at purchasing soon. Photos and videos from my S21 are pretty good,but the photos and videos you take using the S24 look pretty good too. The S23 would be a good option too I think.
Upgrading from my S8 to this one S24, compact size is everything, I hope images will be as perfect as was on S8, S24+ and S24 U were too big for me, I do not want a brick in my hand, really no. Fingers crossed for this baby, tomorrow it will arrive to me.
Which phone would u recommend me buying that does not over heat while gaming has really good fps rate and cameras are as good as Samsung s24 or iphone level thank you
Look for the upcoming S series by Samsung and the new iphone lineup to be thinner phones,lighter weight. The S series will feature all over screen fingerprint sensor,a different camera layout almost bezel less. Both lineups will NOT have an sd card slot ,nor a dim card slot. All be be esim only.
I'm thinking about buying this phone since my current phone is finally giving out and one of the first things that went out awhile ago was my main mic I use for private calls and I do think it's from me recording concerts so I'm wondering if anyone knows any good and small type of mic equipment I can plug into a phone to use at a show so my new phone mic doesn't break so soon this time around
LTPO technology allows high refresh rates with better efficiency. However, the differences are not very high but it probably translates in better battery life which is always welcome.
@@void020 they have all become so good these days that the differences are minor. I have had some battery issues with Exynos before, so that's what's keeping me from jumping at the S24.. Got the S23U with snapdragon and it's very good.
@@tastyoldgravy Definitely true... But I am a little optimistic with this year exynos cause the battery tests showed a slight improvement on s24 than the s23...Guess it comes down to your personal preference🙃
I've had the s24 for 3 months and I've really had some bad experiences with it. The phone heats up with minimal use and there was a problem with the sound so we went to get it fixed and they said the motherboard was faulty and they had to replace it
I have the s23 and s24. If you have the s23, the s24 isn't worth the upgrade. The only reason i have the s24 is i had another phone to trade in. Here are the areas the s24 is better - brighter more efficient display, louder speakers, better battery life ( 30 minutes to an hour more sot on average ) I'm getting 7 hours sot on cellular data. Flat sides are more comfortable to hold imo. I haven't really tested out the cameras yet. S24 is worse - the display doesn't look as sharp despite ppi being almost the same. I'm seeing a slight purple hue on certain screens. It's hard to replicate the issue. They took the swipe from bottom gestures away 😭
@@masquerade_phantomx9270 yeah that's a good way to still have it. It actually forced me to try the regular gestures and I think I prefer them even more.
@@masquerade_phantomx9270 it took about a week to get in the habit of doing the gestures but I'll like it better because before with the three buttons gestures I would accidentally hit the bottom of the screen.
I get a new phone every two years. Just how the contracts work in Canada. Been Pixels the last six years with zero complaints but glad to pick up the s24 today. Every tv in my house is Samsung intentionally. Needed to try something new. Seems like a great phone. Looking forward to two years of useage. Sharp looking phone I grabbed the marble Grey.
@TwitchNTim I've had zero problems thus far and owned for a handful of months now. I got the regular s24, not the ultra, etc, but it's because I prefer the smaller size. I'm happy overall with my purchase. I'm not a tech person by any means, so the small little spec changes between phones make absolutely no difference to me. It doesn't die on me while at work, charges at a reasonable speed, takes nice pictures, and is quick and responsive while navigating through apps. That all I really need out of a phone. I came from 6 years of pixel ownership previously. I had zero problems with Google. I loved every pixel I owned. I just wanted to try something new. Samsung is pretty similar in my opinion. It took me like a week to get used to the phone change. Samsung seems like it's got a few more bells and whistles that someone like myself won't capitalize on. I'd say google is the no-nonsense version of android while Samsung is the little more tech geeky one. I just really liked the look of the s24, and the grey color is super nice. I'd recommend if you're looking to try something new.
well what about listinging my music through my headphones. You didn't say anything about that function. How does it sound? and I can connect with Bluetooth right? I need to know about that before I purchase one.
Almost 900€ for an Exynos "flagship" phone... No thank you. My theory is, 7 years of OS support needed to be downed down with a crapy processor. There's now way you'll get a smooth working phone after 3 years of major os updates on an exynos chip.
What I don't like is the auto brightness adjustment after taking a selfie. When I take the selfie is one thing and then when I click on the picture looks really bright. I tried to turn it off but it still there.
im using an iphone 13 for 3years now and the battery life is horrible, thought of switching to iphone 15, but im skeptical about the battery life, thinking of choosing this, is this a good switch? 🤔
Some of the budget model Chinese phones have a triple card slot tray ( 2x nano SIM, micro SD card ) 5000mah battery that lasts 2 days on full charge ( Oppo A78 4G is an example ) features of which you can't get on an expensive flag ship phone ?? Someone please explain .
