Galaxy S24

[...] I had thought about it for years, but always held off on doing it on my daily driver phone because I simply didn't want to open the floodgates on allowing apps to start randomly installing on my phone. [...] At least on my S24, you have to both enable sideloading at the system level, and enable each specific app to be allowed to "Install other apps" (e.g. [...]

My S24 was returned in a week. [...] It lagged noticeably behind my finger when dragged around. The Galaxy Watch 6 I got alongside it was even worse for performance. [...]

I love the size of my s24. I sent a pixal 8 back and waited 3 weeks for the s24 on presale. Got a great price. [...] But it is so worth it. [...]

As an average user who would hardly notice minor differences in phones, I'm really happy with my s24. [...] My provider actually had a better deal on the S24 over the pixel 8, which was my main deciding factor along with I think the S24 is a really good-looking phone, and I love the marble gray. [...]

[...] I don't have a need for the pen, o the ultra was out of the picture and the s24+ was still a bit too larger and the lack of quad HD on the s24 wasn't a deal breaker. The battery lasts me just over a full day, when I'm barely on it and it handles heavy usage very well. Plus, I got it in marble grey and it looks GORGEOUS

At the beginning of the year, I upgraded to a Galaxy S24 from an LG V35, a phone that came out in 2018. [...] Do I actually do anything with my S24 that I couldn't do with my V35? [...] I could still take adequate photos for my blog with my V35, even if the S24's photos are better. [...] The simple reality is that I'd still have my V35, and I'd still be perfectly happy with it, if AT&T had ever updated their shitware-riddled fork to Android 9. [...] It has a 1440p display in the same footprint as the S24's 1080p display. [...]

[...] Ignoring the fact that the Mac OS gets in your way every time you try to do something that Apple doesn't like, with no guarantee that an update won't break anything existing, ignoring the fact that Macs are non repairable, non upgradable, ignoring the fact that they don't support multiple displays flawlessly, I hope you realize that egpu support natively is NEVER coming to Macs, because why the fuck would they enable it when they can just charge you full price for a desktop computer? Apple is built on the sole image that Apple users have money, so buying another Mac Mini or Mac Pro in addition to your laptop is what you are supposed to do. [...] Ive been using my S24/S25 with lapdock for over 3 years now as a laptop, and it works flawlessly. [...]

Same for my s24, 80% battery limit and slow charging at night (most of my charging). It's been over 2 years and the battery seems to last just as long as day one

I have no problem with my samsung s24 exynos... using it for almost 2 years now

It hurts reading this after just realizing that I can't unlock my Samsung S24's bootloader anymore (to take control of my phone), because Samsung has decided to erase that feature irreversibly using a remote update.

I wonder if the "night mode" on newer phone cameras is doing something similar. Take a long exposure, use the IMU to produce a kernel that tidies up the image post facto. The night mode on my S24 actually produces some fuzzy, noisy artifacts that aren't terribly different from the artifacts in the OP's deblurs.

Yes it does. I have Airpod 4 ANC connected to a Samsung Galaxy S24 as we speak and I cycle between ANC and Transparency mode frequently by squeezing the stalk. This thread is full of weird misinformation.

Might have to be more specific than Android and Windows. Tried them on my devices (S24, windows 11) and they're practically instantaneous.

My phone doesn't support magnetic alignment, so I'm not really concerned with that. While I can't speak for other phones, my S24 has a setting that limits charging power to 10W, which is fine enough for me. [...] Stick to the name brand stuff, the horrors within the average 10-30W USB charger would make any electrical engineer cower in fear. I really like Ikea's cheaper Smahagel chargers, by the way. They have very good electrical separation, they're cheap, and only run at 5W. [...] Can't speak for the USB-C Ikea chargers though.

Started using this on a Samsung S2, now still using it on a Samsung S24. I'll miss this launcher.

DP++ seemed to work fine on my Samsung S24 phone when I tried it after seeing that comment and was curious. I've got a pile of passive adapters because I have an esoteric device that has broken DP audio but HDMI audio using DP++ works fine.

I have a S24 (flagship of 2024) and Anubis often takes 10-20 seconds to complete, that time is going to add up if more and more sites adopt it, leaning to a worse browsing experience and wasted battery life. Meanwhile AI farms will just run their own nuclear reactors eventually and be unaffected. I really don't understand why someone thought this was a good idea, even if well intentioned.

Also the content did not fit my Galaxy S24's screen width when used in portrait. [...]

Not exactly on a smartphone fully, but I use Samsung Galaxy S24 and absolutely love Samsung Dex. I use a Nexdock (although I will probably switch to a standalone display with a better bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo in the future) Termux, with code-server works very well. [...] Haven't been able to get pytorch to work, but thats just a matter of figuring out how to build it from scratch.

There were serious thermal issues with the late 00's 24" iMacs. I had one that ate 3 hard drives, and then the display in about 6 years.

[...] Screen is grainy and found all s24 models have same issue in low light 2. Camera sucks 3. [...]

I'm love my Galaxy S25, so I bought a pair of base-model Galaxy S24 phones. [...] But the S24 fits in the S25's case perfectly, so I've been setting them up in plain sight! [...]

I bought a repurposed samsung galaxy S24 from Amazon for about $250. It was a flagship about two years ago, brilliant screen, camera and AI call screening for spam. I'm quite impressed by it...

Is using your phone an option? I've used IRuin Cam to connect my Galaxy S24 as a webcam source and it works really well.

The only part I dont like about mine is that I only have 128gb and I cannot add a micro sd card to it. Which is a pain because it overheats and runs too slow due to lack of space.

If s23 and s25 had a kid the s24 would be it (design wise lol) i have an onyx black one in the uk (so exynos) and its absolutely perfect love it to bits

[...] price wise it dropped significantly in the used market.. you name it stunning display, camera, battery efficiency, AI it has it all ❤

I got mine a day ago Amber Yellow 8/512 variant, my 1st small phone thanks for the review

The S24 line is maybe the best in many years. [...] 5 more years of software updates to come.❤

Crazy how the S24 will still get upgrades till 2031 😅. Good thing i bought the S24 plus a week ago

As far as im concerned, coming from o ly using budget phone's for almost a decade like the moto g series and the galaxy a's and lower, im very happy with upgrading to a flagship. All the features are so cool. A luxury thats not needed but thats what your paying for. If your coming from other flagsgip phones i can see being more critical but when coming from a budget phine thats given out for free its a major upgrade.

I bought it for 618 Euro few days back for 256 GB variant. It was on promotion.🎉

I took this with my phone the other night 🌙 🤪 Samsung Galaxy S24 photography

I have this exact one. Same color. I don't think I can do "big" phones anymore.

I've Exynos S24, upgraded from s23U. [...] Good battery life, stunning cameras. [...]

I upgraded from a Note 10+ to the S24 and i can 100% say the S24 is better

I’ve had one for a couple days, it’s only for gaming though lol. I use it for my Backbone

I just got my Galaxy S24 in 512GB UFS 4.0 + 8GB variant with the snapdragon 8 gen 3 processor. and I gotta say this phone is a beast in everything!

I bought the plain old s24 on purpose because i needed a smaller phone. Going from a flip 4, which i LOVE but it's painfully slow and laggy, i would have gone for the flip 5 but i don't think it's where i need it yet. I'm excited for the "budget" LMAO s24 because it'll fit in my pocket and i don't need a whole freaking desktop in my hands. Just a nice camera and can load a website in less than 60 seconds.

If I did not have my Tab S9 Plus I would have gotten the S24 Ultra, but since I have the flagship tablet, I wanted to go with a good compact Samsung smartphone, and the S24 does not fall short, not in any way!

I have a 23 Ultra and recently got the S24 for the smaller size and it’s wonderful. [...]

I got mine for 700 CAD, sealed box from Facebook. The S24 is a complete flagship phone in a small body. It can do exactly what those gigantic ones do

Wow this is a good choice now and im so happy to have this phone as a gift for my husband after our wedding so he choose a better phone just for me then🥰🥰😍😍

I opted for the S24 Plus. Once upon a time I Always bought the Ultra but I don't have any use for the S Pen. I used my S21 Ultra for my trade-in and picked it up through the Shop Samsung app.

One glaring omission is the fact that the AI features are only free until the end of 2025. After that they might switch to a subscription model. I personally think that's a huge mistake since it's being touted as a "feature" on the phones instead of a 3rd party service that you can use on any phone. If/when they switch to a subscription model, they are going to have a lot of angry customers.

[...] Don't use the S Pen, don't take 100x zoom photos, and the thing is so heavy and awkward compared to the S24+. The anti relefective coating is cool, but I don't miss it at all because the screen on the Plus is gorgeous!

You can get deals on the ultra too. I got an open box deal for 250 off plus I traded in my S21 and got 150 for it. The Ultra is a beast of a phone.

I am from Europe and I am owning and using Samsung Galaxy S24 with Exynos 2400. Only one version for Europe. But I am satisfied with this device.

S24 is a flagship phone. [...] I had this phone and the battery was horrible. [...]

I have this phone but I actually disagree with you on the fingerprint issue. My other phone Which is Xiaomi 13t has much faster respond.
