What owners report

  • “And for what it's worth, not to be /that/ guy, but I've had a Samsung Galaxy S24+ going on 2 years now and it's the only phone I've ever had in my life that I haven't had any issues at all. It just seems to keep up with everything without issues. Downside is the lack of security though.”

    “I'm generally annoyed with the amount of processing going on in modern phone cameras, they often take pictures that "look fine" on the screen, until you zoom in to native resolution and discovered most of it is some fever-dream of approximations, it's amazing that we (people) are accepting this.. Lots of fine memories degraded by cheating cameras.. It's annoying especially because at a glance, the pictures taken by my S24+ look just fine, and it sometimes makes me not pull out the aging DSLR.. but then when I get the pictures onto my PC and want to actually look at them..
