We need another word for "smartphone," and here's why!
The word "phone" is getting old! Especially when used to describe our modern telecommunication devices in our pockets. When Graham Bell invented the phone in 1876, it was all about sending your voice instantly across distances. Hence the word "phone" from the Ancient Greek φωνή (phonḗ, sound, voice). But now, our devices do so much more than just make calls.
So, 150 years later, we should get another word, and that's exactly how . He believes that our devices need a new name to reflect their advanced capabilities. In the current AI era, that could be anything tied to AI, or it could be just a "pad" or "personal communicator—percom," or something with a "palm" in it (although it has been done already).
The possibilities are endless, and even though we probably won't start the trend here, we could throw in a suggestion or two. Mine sound a bit silly, so we could brainstorm together. And maybe TM Roh will listen. How should we call the next-gen smartphones?

I concur. As it looks right now, the base variant S24 looks almost unchanged from the S23. Same size memory, same memory interface (still on UFS3.1), still no UWB, still no satellite connectivity. Should have been named the Galaxy S23s :-/
Galaxy S24: Samsung's smallest upgrade in years makes iPhone 15 look more special than it is
Having seen reviews of the Vivo x100 Pro, I can happily say that its camera prowess is yet another reason why I prefer Chinese OEM's devices. They are pushing the envelope when it comes to smartphones. I'm really happy that I have invested in a device from Vivo (xFold 2), and will definitely purchase more products from them. They are putting out some it the best devices on the market today.
Galaxy S24 Ultra desperately needs a better camera: Galaxy S23 Ultra can no longer compete
I'll help you out. Here is the real answer: AI.
Yes that's the primary reason why it's equipped with 24Gigs. Because it will support the ability to do some aspects of AI offline without Internet. Similar to ChatGPT but a bit less powerful but will allow you to use Something similar to ChatGPT offline. Imagine this capability in an emergency scenario where there is no power or Internet and you need answers or guidance for medical or otherwise.
The other reason is this will support the refreshed trend to bring a desktop experience to Android. The OnePlus 12 now supports Display out via USB C to HDMI.
The primary overall reason is AI not just in a ChatGPT sense but in other emerging AI capabilities.
The OnePlus 12 has more RAM than my PC! Who needs 24GB of RAM or is this just another overkill selling point?
I fail to see why Apple spends a ton of cash on expensive processors but skimps on relatively inexpensive RAM. Most users won't notice the beefy processor as it's only noticable in a few tasks that aren't common on phones, plus iOS severely limits what apps can do making the processor overkill. Meanwhile something like 2GB or 4GB of additional RAM would cost little in comparison but greatly enhance the user experience and keep the phone useful for a longer period of time.
Leak explains why iPhone 16 and Galaxy S24 will have same RAM count as predecessors
Finally! I don't have to suggest my Apple friends download some third party app just to send them high quality pictures and video. And now I don't have to switch to iPhone to bridge the gap between my iPhone friends and family.
Big win for Google! Apple announces RCS support for iPhone starting next year
The comments confirm to me just how brainwashed Apple people are. They will make an excuse for anything that goes against Apple quality and defend their stance. If you pay $1100 for a phone, it should not come with a scratch much less s dent! Obviously this phone is defective! Perhaps someone at the factory dropped it and there s internal damage that will cause you problems down the road. Call Apple, complain, and demand a replacement! As proof of what I say, I offer this reposition. This same story, but the device is a Pixel 8 Pro. I'd bet all these comments would be the complete opposite!!
