Samsung S24 Ultra vs S24 Camera | Exynos and Snapdragon

Samsung Galaxy phones are a bit confusing this year. On paper, there are three models, S24 Ultra, S24 and S24 Plus. But in reality, S24 and S24 Plus have the same camera system and take similar photos. On the other hand, Samsung released S24 in two variants, in the USA, Canada, and China with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and globally with Exynos 2400 chipsets. The result is different image processing that makes the photos on these two variants look drastically different. In this KZbin video, I compared the camera, video, and image quality of the Galaxy S24 Ultra to S24 Snapdragon and S24 Exynos base versions. I also briefly touched on the comparison of S24Ultra vs S24 Plus versions.

Love your content bro! 😊 Could you please do an internet coverage and speed test between S24 Snapdragon and Exynos because the Snapdragon has the new X75 modem from Qualcomm which is the first on any smartphone. Apple will include this next year. Modems are very important in terms of battery life as well.

[@techmo2020]

I actually did tests and S24 Ultra always performs better. I just worry that this is due to the size of the phone so I was not sure if my data is accurate enough to make a video out of it.

[@drivegoogle864]

@@techmo2020 That's interesting but do you mean S24 Snapdragon was slower than S24 Ultra? Also, I meant that you can test the regular S24 models without the Ultra for Internet coverage and speed... Because I saw your previous battery life video and I saw Exynos struggling to keep up 5G. It's symbol changed to a unfilled box which means it's actually using 4G on a 5G network while the Snapdragon version consistently kept 5G even though you were on the same network. Anyways, keep making these awesome videos 😎

Again Mo, good content! Thanks! Today Samsung released the February update for the S24 series. They fixed the display colour temperatures issue and they improved the camera quality as Samsung acknowledged before that there were some issues with the camera's. I noticed straight away a better sound quality while taking video's on the S24+ Exynos, especially in loud environments. I haven't tested other features of the camera yet. Curious to find out if Samsung fixed most of the Exynos camera quality issues, as the Snapdragon variant has the same camera's. Could you give that a go?

@@ionutbagmuianu884 Dude, the exynos this year isn’t that bad. The people who make those comparisons always upgrade the snapdragon version to the highest software in order for the exynos on purpose to stay last. My dad owns the s24 and he doesn’t have overheating issues or battery issues; he’s upgraded from an exynos s22. He’s also quite a medium-high user, and he seems to like it.

[@daev9797]

Thank you so much for this and the other s24 related videos. As an European citizen that mostly uses Samsung products I am really disappointed about the exynos/snapdragon situation. I am about to buy a new phone and your videos helped me a lot with my decision. Sadly I will have to pay a bit more if I really want that snapdragon processor. Though at least I can get one in the ultra and not worry about another truth hidden behind Samsungs curtains. Keep up with those informational videos. You seem like a sympathetic and down to earth guy. We need more people like you! ❤

[@casuarius6576]

Try the Exynos and wait for the updates

[@chien.nguyen.]

@@casuarius6576 I decided to upgrade to exynos 2400 6 months after the s24 launched to see if it improves after updates, if it improves battery life and temperature I will consider it, previously I I used to use samsung phones with exynos so I know how bad it is, the things that disappoint me are always the temperature and battery. One of my bad experiences with the Note 10 plus was that even when I didn't do anything, I just left the device in my pocket and it used up 23% of the battery in nearly 9 hours. The temperature when used in the summer was really hot.

Hi, not really to be honest. The phone still is too contrasty for my taste. I'm sure there are some subtle changes that I didn't notice.

[@Syffu]

@techmo2020 okay thank you. What a pity, I have an S24 ultra that has an incredible battery life, but I like the format of the S24 more, what a mistake from Samsung!

[@ChrisLightbulb]

Thanks for this video; You can't argue that the Ultra takes the best in all scenarios except portrait and surprisingly the selfie camera is the best on the S24 Exynos. I do however, prefer the HDR/contrast of some of the Exynos photos when not zoomed. I think if you really care about photos/videos you have to get the Ultra. I hope Samsung eventually puts the same flagship camera setup on all of their flagship phone sizes (base and +, not just Ultra).

Exynos was bit darker, samsung still was lazy in tweaking their own chipset. Cannot they have comparison of the two chipset by themselves and then once it's on par with the superior one only then sell it with the same price. In my country the s24 512gb exynos was around $900usd + $100 (20% Tax). If we buy it on grey/gray market (Hongkong/China Variant SD 8 Gen 3) it only cost around $800 much cheaper than exynos that came with freebies(Case and Power Brick).
