Samsung Galaxy S24
$799 USD4 out of 5
The Samsung Galaxy S24 delivers a solid all-round experience with its long-lasting battery, powerful performance, and vibrant display. However, it doesn’t bring any major innovations to the table and lacks features like S Pen support, making it feel more like a refined S23 than a true leap forward.
Pros
Exceptional battery life: The 4800mAh battery provides all-day usage for most users.
Smooth performance: The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip handles everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking with ease.
Stunning display: The 6.1-inch AMOLED display is bright, crisp, and offers a silky smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Improved cameras: The camera system captures detailed and natural-looking photos, with slight advancements in color processing compared to the S23.
Clean and stable software: Android 14 with One UI 6.1 delivers a user-friendly interface with fewer bugs and bloatware.
Sleek design: The phone maintains a premium feel with a glass and metal build.
Cons
Lacks innovation: The S24 feels like a refined S23 rather than a significant upgrade.
No S Pen support: Unlike the Ultra model, the S24 doesn’t support the S Pen, which might be a dealbreaker for some users.
Limited camera zoom: While good for everyday use, the 30x zoom falls short compared to some competitors.
High price point: The starting price of $899 might seem steep for an incremental upgrade.
