What feature would make you buy the Galaxy S24?

Mariyan Slavov · 2024-01-10T05:41:32-06:00

Smartphones are a tough sell nowadays! During the past couple of years, these devices have reached a plateau in many areas. The displays are bright and fast; pretty much all of them are now OLEDs, the batteries push 5,000 mAh, and the processors, even though we're getting a new one each year, have been more than capable enough for many years. One can argue that camera hardware and software are potential areas for innovation, and that's true to some extent. Big sensors and clever AI algorithms are occupying the smartphone scene in a bid to make these devices more attractive. And speaking of AI, this is the next big thing in the tech world. Ever since ChatGPT made headlines and awed some people while scaring others to death, big companies are trying to hop on the AI train. Word is that this year will be the year of AI, and in smartphones too, probably the Galaxy S24 as well. Think about new ways to interact with your smartphone and completely new ways to gather, sort, analyze, and process data. But we digress. The Galaxy S24 is mere days away; it's the biggest launch of 2024. So, what feature would make you buy one? The camera? Maybe some clever AI baked into the user interface that can do tricks for you? A blindingly bright display? Share your wish list below!

Better image quality cos I think Samsung still has a way to go with too much saturation,sharpening,and noise plus images appear often too bright aswell. I have not seen an improvement since S20 models. Also wish they would make a 1 inch sensor

Meh, I don't even know. I am choosing between OnePlus 12 and GS24+. I'd get OP12 without second thoughts if I didn't read about all the bugs with the OS. I've been using GS phones for 8 years now and it's been very solid for the past 3-4 years. I don't want to go back to having to deal with all the issues. I guess if Samsung didn't merk the + phones and had the best camera in it I'd buy without any thoughts.

So, pretty much the Galaxy Z Fold 6, then? :)

Let's turn it into a truly premium Flip flagship
A competitive flagship camera system (with focus on natural image processing)
3D Face Unlock (I don't mind a larger display cutout)
Reasonable starting price in Europe (I'm not paying €1,500 for any phone)

Copy-paste this wishlist for the Pixel 9, iPhone 16, etc.

12/256 GB of storage, 45W charging, higher PWM, on device object eraser (no internet connection or login required) in the regular S24.

I love it if they started making the non-Ultra S and S+ premium again. Bring back 1440p at least in the S+. The colors are way to dull! The S10 series had WAY better colors and actually looked premium.

Nope. If you fold a phone, you get a Flip. 😋

I would love having proper Face ID, but hey, we all know that's not happening. Faster charging at rates of 80W (like OnePlus) would also be great and would be one really substantial reason to upgrade from an iPhone, but again, we know that Samsung prefers being conservative here too.

But even apart from that, I do like the slight design changes, the new Snapdragon chips are also great, and if battery life is solid and video quality finally approaches the iPhone, this will be one great contender!

"Faster charging at rates of 80W (like OnePlus) would also be great and would be one really substantial reason to upgrade from an iPhone, but again, we know that Samsung prefers being conservative here too."

The iPhone doesn't have fast charging, so why is that being compared? And conservative?! The iPhone is the most conservative phone out there. You really just contradicted the sh¡t out of yourself.
