@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN I've considered it but is just too big. I went from a S8 to a S9+ thinking it would be best and it was for a while, then upgraded to a S20+ and started wanting a smaller phone again. Managed to exchange the S20+ and get a S23 FE for free and it's just too big and heavy. I've seen the 23 and 24 Ultra for really cheap to a point where I should just buy but the size is just not aligned with me. Maybe I will cause those prices are really good, but most likely not.
I am pretty sure, with a Snapdragon version you would have: - better GPS signal - better Carrier signal - better battery life Last week I bought the S23 since we only have the S24 Exynos in Europe. I have seen Exynos versions having trouble with signal quality which leads to worse battery life. Don't get fooled by Wi-fi only reviews.
The GPS module has nothing to do with the SoC lol and also Exynos SoCs don't suffer from connectivity issues like Tensor do, but the drain on 4G/5G will be still subpar compared to the SD version
In all honesty, I'm not somebody really into phones (I mean my current one is almost 7 years old) but I just love watching these videos. The cinematography topped off with the music and speaking in a very welcoming tone actually helps me calm down sometimes. Keep up the amazing content 👍
I got the s23 and s24 since their release date (supercheap with intro deals from samsung) still using my samsung s9 as my daily driver. But the battery and speaker are getting worse 😢
FLOP FLOP and FOLD are such stupid ideas it's funny !!! Way overpriced way too fragile and missing soooo much...lousy cameras ...gotta pay $60 for inferior S Pen with no place to store unless you shell out more for special case!! And FLOP FLOP is worse with a stupid cartoon on front flashing to try to make you forget it's awful
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Unless you've used these products, you're overthinking it too much. Maybe just have an "I don't know about that product but it seems not great" opinion before using one, if that's the case. No problem being cynical but it's idiotic to make conclusions reading specs
@adityan3208 nope plenty have complained about durability and what it lacks...don't need to use a product that I hear has a lot of problems , only later to find out it's been recalled for major flaws like brakes etc
It's the Exynos that's hitting the battery life. It just isn't as efficient. I won't ever buy a Samsung phone with an Exynos in it. They shouldn't be allowed to sell a different version of the same phone in parts of the world and call it the same name.
The SD 8Gen3 makes the S24 lineup the best. I'm currently on the Fold 5 getting ready for that Fold 6 with 8Gen3. Such an incredible experience from my time with the S24 Ultra. So sad Samsung shipped the two lower cost models with Exynos chips internationally.
"The Galaxy S24 is INCREDIBLE" Proceeds to demonstrate how a lot of the components are the same as previous iterations, and the phone is actually an incremental upgrade with GPS issues.
That just says he was in belief that the 23 was also an incredible phone, and this one just added a few things, or kept things that were already great the same.
I don't see how it's a problem? Literally all phone releases nowadays are just small upgrades from previous generations, so being an upgrade from one of the best compact phones of last year, means that it's most likely one of the best compact phones of this year(which it is)
@@loicstephan3719 he is talking about the sides which was slightly curved not the screen. Only ultra has curve display not the regular and plus version
I have a curved screen smartphone with rounded sides but now after s24 I love the design of such smartphones with squared design and flat screens with such less bezzels .it looks more aesthetic.
i'm a die hard pixel user, and i've recently switch to Zflip5 and i'm really enjoying it. Customisation is amazing ! and flipping open is undeniably cool even pictures are Really good for an everyday use. let's see what the pixel 9 line up is bringing to the table !
@@tapasyak429 it's not good and it's not bad for the size of the battery i gotta say that's it's ok. i'm a heavy user, and a small 30% top up get me to the end of each day
2:15 its not about creativity, it's about merging the look of the flagships with the budget ones so people who buy budget versions still feel like they have a premuim flagship in their hands and it's working.
S24 Snapdragon chipset have a better battery life & Performance than the ( Exynos chipset), that's why you felt that S23 battery life was better compared to S24.
Not entirely true, there are some things which the regular user uses most that the exp is does better than the snapdragon like photos videos and media in general. At the same time there’s quite a lot different in addition to the actual screen (slightly bigger and a lot brighter).
Thankfully I never had issues with the GPS on the S24 U here in Brazil, I use GPS all the time. And thanks for that Good Lock tip. Its so amazing!! It has a bunch of other stuff you can add to customize even more, not just the look but the usability aswell!
I've decided to go with the S24 and I love it. The size is perfect for ergonomics, I have DeX if I want to go big, and the hardware could be basically the same from year(s) past, yes, but on the bright side it means that all the little details are kinda perfected by now. And the software is the best in the Android world. I literally keep discovering new features every week or so. All so integrated. The only Android brand that I know the has a lot of third part RU-vid channels just exploring the OS functions. There's always something new. The system is so integrated. Their apps work better than Google counterparts. I recommend to dive in the routines, and the system indexation usage of the hashtags for files, images etc. And 7 years of OS support is sweet. Only if they use that marvelous Motorola tech for charging (I've came from a Moto Edge 30 Ultra).
Hey, can you tell me if i should for s23 or s24, because in my country, the s24 has exynos, I'm very much confused, i don't want to regret after buying it.
I'm actually thinking of getting an S24 coming from an S23 Ultra. I really miss the small form factor. Back then I usually go for the Xperia Z compact series
I was with a Moto Edge 30 Ultra and find a good price in my carrier for any S24. Could have picked the Ultra, but I was so tired of the weight and size if big phones. I chooses the S24 and it's so refreshing to use something made dor human hands rsrs. And I always have Dex if I want to go big.
Was totally me , 23 ultra was crazy big for my pocket. Swapped to the regular s24 and don't regret it at all . Yeah do I miss the bigger battery, but I always have a portable charger on me.
Excellent video. I upgraded this year from a 7 year old oneplus 5T to the S24. The difference is night and day. I don't face the GPS issues you did, and the battery life is phenomenal (maybe because I have the Snapdragon variant ? Not sure). I charge it once every 2 days, and that charge is from 15%-90%. I could probably squeeze out 3 days with a full charge (100-0). The best thing about it is the size. I am tired of flagships being huge.
My biggest regret is spending my money on a S21 instead of a iPhone 13 Pro. Since then, Samsung has literally not improved a single thing when it comes to real world usage and not those gimmicky 100x cameras.
Dude! The cinematography, your voice and the quality of this video are superb! I liked you even more! I wish to go have another samsung soon maybe s22 or S23.
Which multiple years...only s23 series came with snapdragon on all devices (and that was best choice ever)! All before that I had to import from China/Taiwan/South Korea since that versions are the best!
8:10 It's not a problem related to s24 series alone, because I have an S20 plus with the same issue🙂 so it seems like it's google maps related issue ,because i don't remember having GPS issues with my phone before 🤷🏻♂️
Same here I switched to Waze bcz Google maps on my Pixel 7 pro is completely broken after the last update, and you know it's Google fault bcz when I uninstalled the updates everything worked perfectly, the moment I update Google maps everything would go downhill
I have the S24 base model and Ultra as well. I truly like the small S24, but its camera is not comparable to the Ultra. Samsung may seem boring, but they offer such a nice package in a phone.
Hey Sam, as a customization enthusiast, can you please throw some light on 3rd party launcher compatibility one OneUI 6 & 6.1? Nova launcher was perfect on 5.1 but from 6 onwards, the animations are broken with all the launchers. The only thing I hate about OneUI.
In this video, he is using the stock Galaxy launcher, and the icon pack is called "Drops Icon Pack" by developer Sam Beckman (himself). The widget is a customized KWGT widget.
Ive been daily driving an s24+ coming from a picel 8 pro, and ive really enjoyed it. For me the 8 Pro was surprisingly bugy and the s23+ feels nice and polished with the AI features to boot. Im heavily considering going to the non Plus model on my next upgrade though. That compact size is so nice
I india the s24 comes with exynos chip ..and i am using it from last 1 month .the experience was pretty good and exynos has improved soo much than earlier..no regrets...!!! Totally satisfied with s24 exynos chip.
Pixels despite having Vanilla Android are notorious for having performance issues just in a few months into launch. Some third party apps are even better than Google's stock apps. Recent Samsung software is very stable from my experience. Clean yet Playful. As long as they allow us to delete their bloatware.
I just returned the S24 because the matt finish of the body made it so damn slippery I felt it was only a matter of time before it went flying off my hand (I don't like to use a case). Too bad because I loved everything else about the phone, especially the size. Hopefully Samsung will go back to a glossy for the S25!
i had onedrive subcription. the fact that samsung gallery works with onedrive as default, it is really something for me. i dont need other cloud subcriptions.
Not half way through its life cycle, just half way through the release cycle. It's a very great phone (except the exynos versions unfortunately) and in my opinion they should bring back the s22 design for the base and the plus, they were so classy!
@@snowball1792 It's tough to pinpoint, but the overall way the Pixel handles Android still feels the most coherent and polished to me. Plus I use Now Playing and Call Screening all the time, and I still don't love the look of Samsung's cameras. Don't get me wrong, the S24 is great! Battery life, in particular, was absolutely better. Other than that, I'm just so used to the Pixel UI it's hard to go to anything else.
@@majestikmoose9I don't miss my Pixel 6 pro. Way too much buggy experience, and low build quality. Never gonna use Pixel again. Pure waste of my money. Rather, i really love my Galaxy S23. Just pure better phone.
YOUR VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS SO WELL SHOT! JESUS H CHRIST!!! I cant tell you how much I love your videos mate, been a follower for a loong while now and it baffles me how good your content it video after video. You're an inspiration, mate
i was about comment on this guy outfit about 2024 and he still rocking skinny jeans ? but then i heard half way through it life cycle ? is this guy think phone only live up to 1 year ? i know he talking like since release and till the next version coming out... but come on really a phone with 7 year update i have mine already using since 2017 here hello ??
Snapdragon S24 must be the best, no doubt about that. In india the only version that's being sold is the Exynos one, trust me that's the worst!! That why I opted for the S23
@@benjaminobeng4772 im not talking about battery either. I'm saying that i could use my phone for another year and a half because it's still as fast as when it was when it was new
as a Samsung user the issue with the S line up is the fact they willingly make the base model inferior by using inferior camera sensors nd cooling system than the Ultra, that why comparing a basic S model and a basic iPhone, the iPhone will always be superior. I wish they go back the days of the S8 when they made the phone just bigger but offering the same experience on all variants
I'm on 24 ultra and never had issues with Google maps.. not sure if it's related to 24 but I'd think it's more to do with satellite positioning than the software
Personally I like the simplified approach of the pixel. As one who came from iOS back to android (I simply missed it too much), I'd grown to appreciate the simplified approach of iOS. So pixel 8 pro was the perfect blend of both worlds for me at least. And even now, I've considered going back to iPhone 16 but the pixel is making me feel "meh" about the idea. So while I understand how people would prefer the samsung over the pixel, the pixel is currently what's keeping me rooted as an android user in general. Though, I have to say, just hearing "never gets warm to the touch" alone has made me start considering venturing back to the samsung flavor of android...
Currently using pixel. I prefer the camera on the pixel but hate the fps. Even though samsung hardware design is mature at this point, it has much better fit and finish. It feels like a much more premium phone when compared to the pixel.
I’m considering jumping back to android after being on iPhone for about a year. To anyone who owns the S24, how does it do on phone calls? iPhone is hard to beat on phone calls so I’m hoping Galaxy phones are at least as good.
