Review: An amazing compact phone - The Exynos2400 is very good
with no issues as with the previous chipsets. - I have been using
this phone for a month now and the Samsung Galaxy S24 is a very
good phone. If you are someone who is looking to buy a phone in
this price range then you probably have the Iphone 15, Pixel 8
series as an alternative option but I would say the Samsung phone
experience is the best of the three unless you are into the Apple
ecosystem or you want to buy and IPhone cuz it's an IPhone (It's
just crazy that many people make decisions like that 😂). Jokes
apart, I would say at this price this is probably the best phone
in terms of the display, software experience and overall
features. The performance is also very good, there are many
people who are skeptical about the Exynos chips which is
obviously unfair from Samsung to have two versions of the same
phone but at least this time the chip is very good and almost as
powerful as the SD 8 Gen 3. Yes it is 10-15% less powerful in the
CPU department from benchmarks but honestly theses flagship
chipsets are so powerful that 90% of the people are not even
going to notice the slight difference. I tried playing COD on
this phone at max possible settings for 1 hour and the phone was
hot but not any more hot than any other phone would get. Yes it
did drop the battery which I will get to later but I don't think
raw performance is an issue with the Exynos chips this time as
the Exynos chips is actually more powerful that the SD 8 Gen 3 in
the GPU department. Now coming to the battery this is the only
place I am a little disappointed with this phone like if you are
a light user who only uses their phone for calls, messages, music
on bluetooth you can make the phone work for an entire day but if
you are a medium or a heavy user like if you play games, take
pictures, videos etc you will definetly drain the battery before
the end of the day. In my experience I am a fairly heavy user
using bluetooth, mobile hotspot, playing a few light games I
always need to charge the phone at around 5 pm. But this is a
sacrifice you have to make if you are getting a small phone, now
if you are thinking that the IPhone 15 is also a small phone but
it has better battery life then that is because the IPhone 15
only has a 60hz display which isen't as smooth the 120hz on all
the phones these days and also does not consume a lot of battery
like a 120hz display would. I am not that big of a camera bluff
so I won't talk about it just want to say that it is a good
camera with sharp pictures with good looking colors and camera
features (Checkout the images attached). The video is also very
good. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S24 emerges as an impressive
smartphone, overshadowing debates about Exynos chip performance
differences. Its overall performance, combined with its compact
size, makes it a compelling choice for users seeking a premium
smartphone experience.
Review: Not flagship material,..but now I think it is! - This is
an updated review : So just moved from S20, which I had for so
many years to the new S24. The phone itself is good, everything
works fine.. but that's expected. Got the Golden yellow colour
and thankfully it's not as flashy as shown in the photos.. this
is more of a light cream colour which gives a slight golden shine
when seen at particular angles. It's a very decent looking phone.
When you use it, the first thing you notice is that this phone
really heats up. It's Samsungs flagship and the heating issue is
not limited to just while charging it, even when you use it
normally.. the back gets hot. Never faced this with the S20. I
feel like am using some cheap Chinese phone...well it won't burn
your ear, but yes it's hot enough for one to take note. >>And now
after a few more days of usage, the heating issue has
disappeared. Even after hours of continuous use it doesn't heat
up... not sure what happened.. perhaps some software update.
Second is the design. Samsung used to have it's own design team
which came up with really innovative stuff.. now they are just
copying the iPhone. It literally looks like a Chinese knock off,
OK let's give them credit.. it looks like a cheap Korean knock
off of the iPhone. Nothing wrong with that, except that if you
want to copy then copy something good. Personally the flat edged
design is terrible to grasp and feels rigid in the palm. The
earlier curved edge ones were so much comfortable to hold. Now
you have to hold on to this flat metal frame which heats up..
it's not a pleasant experience. Perhaps they made this for cold
weather countries, so you get an inbuilt palm heater with your
phone. A phone that keeps your hands warm while in the cold...
heaven knows what the designers were thinking! >> Well as I said
before the heating issue has gone. As for the shape, I would say
it's easier to handle having those flat edges.. it rests easily
on the figers while typing etc.. but still you do feel the flat
edges when the phone is in your pocket etc.. So the shape is a
mixed bag verdict. Personally I prefer smoother edges. The
battery drains out fast aswell.. currently it's matching the
drainage speed of my old Samsung. Basically you have to have a
fast charger around. >> This is the point why I actually decided
to edit the review. The phone's software literally optmises
battery usage. It continuously adjusts screen brightness levels..
and with time and use, it's getting better at optimising battery
performance. For regular usage, with a few hrs of videos and few
hrs of games.. it's pulling through the day quiet easily.
Honestly I don't know why this phone should cost so much.. for
the issues it has, you should easily get a similar cheaper phone
in the 20-25k range. >> Doubt it, this phone keeps getting better
with usage. Never expected or experienced that before. Camera
haven't yet used. My old S20 used to give some amazing results
and have used it a lot with manual settings aswell. Wonder if the
S24 will be better there. I think I might switch back to the S20.
>> Camera still not used to potential. Basic shots are very crisp
though. The AI functions are also quiet handy. Just played around
till now.. so hopefully like the other aspects will get better
with time.🤞
