Samsung needs to offer 2 key things in the upcoming S25 phone for me to immediately switch over from my Xiaomi 14 1. Offer vertical scrolling in app drawer (swiping up for the drawer but then have to swipe horizontally is irritating) 2. A better camera sensor at least for the mIn camera, sensor size needs to be 1/1.3 at the very least (S24 main sensor is a 3 year old 1/1.56 sensor)

Galaxy S24 is better than base Iphone, just like previous S23 but still there are some annoying issues -Galaxy S24 is the only 2024 flagship that starts with just 128gb storage(UFS 3.1). Why Samsung??Even mid range phones start from 256gb these days. -Exynos in some regions. -same camera hardware for 3-4 years now. Why?? -25W wired charging in 2024.Why?? And the biggest issue is how little Samsung flagships have improved over the years. Galaxy S20 a 4year old device had -Exynos/Snapdragon depending on regions -a 1440p 120hz screen -8/128 base version -25W fast charging -4000mah battery. -It Also supported MicroSD cards -charger in the box and typeC headphones. In 4years Samsung, not only improved nothing in these but they also lowered in resolution and dropped MicroSD ,charger and headphones.

So just outta curiosity: I don't recall it mentioned about the base S23 last year or S24 this year, but, do they tend to run hot quickly like the S22 did? And you're right about the color selection, it's not great...only the purple really rocks, as does the black. Even the Samsung exclusive colors are like one outta three (the blue is nice, the green sucks worse than the yellow, and the orange is mid).
