Samsung Galaxy S24: What Went Wrong?

With the amount of downsides of the Exynos variant it is insulting that it is sold at the same price as the snapdragon version

Exynos 2400 is not that bad , I have s24U and mu friend has s24p with Exynos. It performs equally good , this time it on par with SD in graphics , yes their is more battery drain and heating but still better than tendor and equally good as dimension .

I've done intensive testing to this phone (I've got S24+ Exynos) and honestly, the worst offender to me is not the processor or even the modems as I expected, but the screen, especially compared to S23 which has no issues whatsoever and it even has better sounding speakers.

I can see in a few year's time needing that feature with Apple and Google working together to make a universal Find My network, and the base S24 isn't going to be able to utilize trackers due to missing it. It's really annoying how Samsung will gimp the base models to upsell the behemoth that is the ultra.

Hi Mo, You did not overcrititised them! They claimed that exynos is the same as snapdragon, wich is a LIE . You could show it with procedures, and numbers. In my case (dual sim usage, and often no wifi) the difference is: I can arrive at home with a working phone or not. For me its a HUGE difference.

[@nifransn9960]

I spent 48 hours with the S24 Plus and didn't encounter any heating problems except during initial setup. Another instance was when around 30 to 40 apps were upgrading in the background and when sliding through Instagram reels. Even then, it didn't exceed 41 degrees Celsius. Comparatively, my Moto Edge 50 Pro reaches up to 43 degrees Celsius, and my wife's iPhone 15 goes up to 44 degrees Celsius. If you don't keep the camera app open for 30 minutes straight, it won't heat up. The battery lasts a day, providing around 6.5 to 7 hours of screen-on time (SOT). The Exynos chipset has improved significantly, and I hope it continues to improve in the future.

The battery life is margianlly better but not by much. Even using data connections i can safely say, exynos version was more than capable . Thirdly i am noticing so much noise in pictures as compared to exynos version. I really miss the exynos for images, I swear snapdragon is too noisy indoors. Forthly the display, YES The display, Hdr seems to be working bad on snapdragon variant on youtube, It feels like the colors are not as vibrant ( even after turning vividness slider to top ) its not comparable to exynos variant.

[@benk932]

One observation I've made regarding the quality of the screen of my s24 compared to my s21 fe is that the latter is much sharper and better looking. And I'm not talking about the colour saturation that was fixed with the update. Still even with the new update and the new slider cranked up, the s21fe looks more vivid and vibrant. What bothers me the most is with watching videos, say yourube, I notice a blur on moving objects like people's head with the s24 that is clearly not there with the s21fe. I wonder if it has someting to do with the adaptiv refresh rate and asked myself if the fixed rate of 120hz on the s21fe and in general is superior for video quality.

S24 series is overpriced junk, won't be buying even after a massive discount. Pixel 8 is just as bad, hard to find a good mobile these days that's not at rip off UK price. Own Samsung S10+ been perfect for years but has no 5g so want to upgrade. Mobiles have more then doubled in price since last bought one.

I am your fan watching your video in Hong Kong. You've been uploading some very interesting videos over the past few weeks. I wish this influence to create small changes. Btw, I have one question. Which model do you prefer, S23 or S24 Exynos? (normal) And what is the difference in battery performance between the two?

[@techmo2020]

Thanks mate. I did my masters in HKUST and I miss Hong Kong. I prefer S23 but S24 snapdragon is even better.

[@Flameseeker]

I have the option to buy s24 exynos for only 40 euro more than s23. Which one should i choose?

[@SvetlinDimitrov]

I would never buy another Samsung device after having used S1, S2, S6 and S8 (briefly). What a disaster.

[@vladmihai306]

I am using an S20 5G, imported from China, so with Snapdragon 865 and 12GB of RAM. Yes, 12GB of RAM. I've been tempted by S23 with its snapdragon 8 gen 2, but damn, that phone does look like a downgrade from my phone in terms of display, the way it feels and the way it looks. I know opinions are divided and many people like flat screen phones, but my S20 still looks like it has less bezel on it's screen (thanks to the curved edges) compared to any 2024 device with a flat screen. And while a curved screen is not for everyone, a curved back is definitely something great for in hand feel. And the S20 has them both. Also, snapdragon 865 is still a chip that is giving, I am very surprised by it. I am also using my phone in Dex for work and it's a breeze really. Browser open with tens of tabs, BT headset, a big ass USB hub that does both charging and output, an Xbox gamepad, facebook, whatsapp, vmware horizon, you name, everything open and it does not break a sweat, while consuming 1W in idle and about 5W in usage. That's what I would call tuning of a mobile chip for mobile usage. Games like CSR2 look fantastic on a 1080p screen (haven't tried 1440p because my hub does not support) and aether sx2 lets me enjoy great PS2 titles like NFS underground series, midnight club, etc in 2-3x native resolution without any hiccup. While all of this happens, add the fact that I can freakin' answer phone calls with my mouse, which is hilariously interesting, use mobile data even (talk about always connected PCs that Christiano Amon was talking about some time ago). I could go on forever with this phone and I freakin love it. I hope S25 with 8 gen 4 will be a big step up and Samsung will not ruin everything by selling only Exynos, because I'll never ever buy an Exynos phone, unless they fix the modem, power consumption in general and all the issues that they have, which is unlikely to ever happen.

Samsung should be forced to use the same processor in all markets. I had an s23 ultra, and my son has an s23 he's 11, so ultra is too big. I've upgraded mine to s24 ultra, but I'm not upgrading the s23 because of the exynos processor!

I would like to ask during your test of S24 did you have any problems with the USA version when you used it in Europe, and can there be any problems at all?

I didn't have problems but I didn't test them in all cities. The Chinese or Hong Kong Variant is more compatible with our bands here in Europe.

Second, would you suggest to go for s24 snapdragon vs exynos if i use 50/50 wifi/5g and few hours of mobile hotspot, rest of day on wifi doing social media, browsing and yt? I can buy s24+ exynos cheaper than s24 snap. Battery is imortant to me alot.

[@dave6018]

Love how people go on about the Exynos, yet in day-to-day use, you will never notice it! Then there's your misinformation about the screen. Samsung actually said it was more muted for a more true-to-life experience. I came from the S23 Ultra to the S24 Ultra, and I preferred the muted look of the S24 Ultra. Then you go on about Wi-Fi 7. Really? To make Wi-Fi 7 feasible, you need a router, etc. And how many providers provide a Wi-Fi 7 router? The Ultra supports Wi-Fi 7, but the bottom line is if you don't like the phone, send it back! I have used the phone since its release date and previously had the Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 6 Pro, Fold 3, S22 Ultra, S23 Ultra, and S21 Ultra, and I really struggle to see where you're coming from.

[@jdsd_]

Honestly, its ALWAYS like this with brand new phones. There are always issues in the first few month, always KZbinrs complaining about it with videos like "THE TRUTH" or "DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY", and aways almost all of them get fixed. (Because usually most issues are software/ optimisation problems). Dont get me wrong, you did a good job with that video and I also think, things like that stuff you mentioned shouldnt get through quality control, but its been like this every single year over and over again, not just with Samsung but with Apple aswell, and Im tired of getting upset about it, so I just accepted it and always wait for the software updates :D

[@Armin2208]

Second comment about the S24 Ultra: i am really unimpressed by the camera. I did make a private comparison between my oneplus 7 pro of 2019 with Google Camera Mod and the S24 Ultra. With the main camera and good daylight both make pretty similar 12 megapixel pictures. But i like the oneplus google cam photos better, because of the more detailed, realistic and cold look. Also i really dont like that the s24u main camera has 24mm. All my photos look like taken from a (ultra) wide, its too wide for me. Thats something no one talks about. 26mm would be much more suitable. At least the zoom cameras are awesome, pure gold.

[@swapnilanand2557]

In my country, the S24 has an Exynos processor and has 128GB of RAM for the starting model. I had an S22 Plus, but I sold it and bought an S23 with 256GB of storage for half the price of the S24.

Thank you for the video. Is S24+EX really that bad or it just disappointing due same price for EX and SD? I I want to upgrade from mi9 and there seems to be no worthy model on the market this year. I plan to keep the phone for many years (which is obvious, since I still have Mi9). S24+EX impresses with its long-term support for 7 years. But can he grow old normally? Is it worth considering the version for China? Or maybe better pick S24Ultra for such a long time. I don't plan to play on it, I just want a cool and fast phone for many years.

[@techmo2020]

Pick the Ultra, if you plan to hold your phone for many years the battery efficiency is crucial. Higher temps destroy the battery gradually.

[@Glotttis]

"Grumpy and complainy" is good. Means you discover issues with the device that user is also like to encounter, and you spread awareness. All those super positive "this is the best phone ever" KZbinrs don't really tell anything of value about the device in their reviews. Like you said, they are just advertising it.
