6 months out of 7 years is half-way through its lifecycle? Maybe a reviewer's lifecycle, not consumer's.

Not couple of years, we have always suffered with exynos, it was only 2023 when all s23 phones were snapdragon only.

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.

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 👍

"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.

I wish they'd have kept the S22 design. Flat back with the curved sides and most importantly the contour camera design. So recognizable

Every youtuber is running behind Fold and flip 6, but this guy 😂 brings a review of S24

Imagine how great this phone will be when the prices really drop on it. With 7 years of support, the value of it will be crazy.

Sadly the S24 only comes with the Exynos Chip here in Europe.

Finally someone showed some software and customisation, instead of talking about the cameras and performance. Thank you.

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.

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 !

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.

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 production on this video is insane - there's simply no one else that does it like you (not even Marques or Arun). Bloody well done Sir! ❤❤

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.

That intro is a cinematic masterpiece

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!

A compact size that can last all day long is a must. Just put 5x telephoto also to make it feel on the line of flagship devices even it is compact

Man! You're cinematography is amazing! Its so pleasing to watch!

the video quality daamn

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 KZfaq 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).

The quality of this video is pristine. Thank you for keeping on getting better and better!

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

Watching this on my galaxy s23

Just picked up an S24 with an insane deal an im loving it!

I was ABSOLUTELY waiting for this review ❤

The Google maps issue has been a thing since s7. I didnt realise how bad it was until I got a pixel. Kind of shocking.

Samsung could never convince me to move to their device cause of the OS skin. Stock is love.

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.

Nice production quality and Thanks for the good info!

Loving my S24 Ultra 🎉

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.

S24+ GANG in the building!!!

yeah - since im always using my smartphone as an navigator the "laggy" gps is a dealbreaker for me^^.

everything about this video is damn. how did you achieve the tiny icons?

I tried the S24 for a few days. Solid phone, but I missed my Pixel too much.

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

I would recommend people to look into S23+, new or used, if you're looking to buy S24.

I recently got the S24 this month and its amazing!

Amazing production quality as always Sam, love your channel, keep up the good work man

I left Pixel when i fell off my MTB bike and smashed my Pixel 7 Pro; i went for the S24+ and its been an amazing phone. I love itl

Top notch video quality. Congrats on your achievements Sam!

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!

Still pushing my S21 lightweight “glasstic”. No issues at all. Monthly updates are consistent too. ✅

Halfway through its life cycle in 6 months? I am using my OnePlus for the past 5 and a half years and it's still at around 80% of its life cycle

We want camera, performance, display and battery information, don't care at all about customisation or wall papers, S23 is better option for those who don't care about all other stuff because 23 is much cheaper.

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

The obvious reason that you are seeing worse battery life than the S23 is the crappy Exynos processor. It's also why you are seeing fluidity problems. I have no such problems on my S23 Plus nor did I on my S23U. Earlier this year I had 2 x S24 Plus devices and they both exhibited slightly worse battery life and micro stutters in the UI. If the Exynos is so good, Samsung would have used it in the S24U, which they didn't. The Samsung modem that it uses is also rubbish with far worse than a SD device.

This is crazy. I was just gonna research S24 n revisit buying. Then this popped up

Great video as always Sam, keep it up, please make home screen setup videos;

Me getting a "switch to Iphone" ad on this video as if it is a joke 😅

Apple user expectations: DoEs It Haß a KamerA? Here 1200$ Android user expectations: Does it shoot lasers on the moon? What do you mean 400? Should at least make coffee for that much!

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.

Hell yes. I can't live without the stylus of my S24 Ultra, but if not for that, I'd prefer a regular S24. Much prefer the shape and size.

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

In most indoor photos the S24 photos are better than the S24 Ultra. I have the two of them and that is the honest truth.

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.

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.

S24 Cameras are very very bad. Battery life is mediocre. I hate having this camera on my pocket. S24 is not a great phone...

what aspect ratio is this filmed in? in landscape on my Fold's cover screen, its almost full screen. looks great 👍🏾

What a coincidence! Thinking of buying one today, and i get your review. Thanks

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

Got the s24 Ultra after not using Samsung for like 6 years. Reminded now why I swapped after seeing how terrible and annoying their annoying apps, ads, and popups on their device. While the hardware is amazing and no one has the same quality of display, glass, and overall good cameras, I wish I had bought the Pixel for its better software and pure android experience. I used Sony Xperia before but they ruined the recent release, so it will be Pixel or a smaller brand after this one.

I'm running a Google Pixel 7 Pro with Nova Launcher. Easy peasy. Haven't had any issues. Hardware is great. All day battery. Smooth as butter. Not having those Pixel widgets is so much better. I really don't understand why Google insists on keeping them locked into position. It's rather insulting to their users. If I don't find it useful, I'll use it. But I don't, so I don't. Simple as that. I like my home screen decluttered, Google. Open it up.

Be thankful you guys in the States get the Snapdragon variant of this phone. Here in India, with Exynos, it's such a pathetic phone that people are buying more S23s now😂

Got rid of my Exynos S24.... battery life was awful.

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.

It looks like a great phone! I'm thinking on upgrading from my S21

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.

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!

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!

Nobody wants Exynos.. but then again.. nobody wants Tensor.. 😢

Maps must not be in power save mode to keep the GPS on

If it has Exynos in Europe, you should look elsewhere. The battery, the performance and the photo processing is always worse than the snapdragon variant.

My S24 lags more than my iphone 12 mini :(

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

To samsung : I hope they do more creative at design mean while apple : 🗿

9:45 Samsung has had Snapdragon and Exynos variants for years and it was only the 23 series in recent years that was only Snapdragon across the globe.

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...

Exynos is why you're experiencing battery and performance issues, same as gps issues. It's known for years now.

my s22 have the green and pink lines, but still a great camera overall, in my daily use

Before 1 hr gang here 👇

I wish i have the money to buy one and also I wish Android Smartphone Maker stick with 3.5mm headphone jack and sd card slot, that would be the ideal complete phone imo

Biggest flaw is the Exynos CPU. No no for me. My S21+, also carrying an exynos, has been really starting to lag the last 6 months or so.

Whilst the reviewer made an effort to make it sound all good, the review fell short as it was underwhelming. Good luck with the next one

What's the launcher or icon pack you're using Your homescreen looks so clean and dope

as somoen who been a samsung fan boy for the longest nothing can make me leave the stock android on pixel

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 bought the S24 purely because it's the most compact option on the market, but it still feels way too big for me. I dream of an iPhone 3G-sized S25 Mini with a 4" OLED display.

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.

I hope they put a snapdragon chip for the global model next year.

Best video of S24 i've seen so far. Im definitley buying this compact beast if i get the hands on Snapdragon version.

i think you should try out the oneplus 12 aswell. its been one of my favorite phones aswell as some of my friends favorites

Samsung just nailed it with the Samsung s23. A phone to beat even next year

This must be a niche thing but I had the same issue with pixels. I wanted a change from my iPhone back to android After 4 ish years. I got a pixel 7 and hateddddd the top little widgets that couldn’t be removed and for that reason alone I sold my pixel 7 and went back to iPhone 15. I’ll try again next year mostly Likely with a Samsung galaxy z fold 7

What has your experience with GoodLock been compared to Nova Launcher?

Vivo X Fold 3 and pro baby! Innovation without software stagnation!!

Pixel has: better haptics. Visual voicemail built in. Better cameras. Less bloatware. The Samsung is great (I’m typing this in a S23. Better fingerprint scanner btw). But there’s still a lot that recommends the Pixel.

My exynos-powered S24 has great battery life and performance. I had Snapdragon-powered galaxy phones before and I love my S24.
