Samsung Galaxy S24 and S24+ - what to expect

03 January 2024
New displays, bigger batteries and a brand new chipset, though that last one might not be an upgrade.

I'm sorry that I want, accept and expect better features from new phones than ones from 6-7+ years ago. It's laughable how only the 2 biggest and the 2 most niche companies use slow charging, wonder why. Why? It doesn't matter for them, that's why. Samsung and Apple aren't losing out on too many people just because they don't include fast charging, they are too comfortable sitting in the past competing with only each other, whereas there wouldn't be a ton more people buying Sony and Google phones even if they charged faster. Simple as that.

Fast charging and especially the charger included because of it, adds value to devices that have it, but doesn't mean that you HAVE TO use them, you can adjust the settings so the fast charger doesn't actually charge fast, or use a different charger entirely, that's up to the user. However fast charging a phone that doesn't support it, is not up to the user, it's simply not possible.

Oh and call me "impatient" all you want, but after having charged my phone, the next time I actually end up using it is at least 7 hours later.

          Anonymous, 04 Jan 2024Fast charging is just for impatient kids 🤓It's for people that aren't willing to charge their phones overnight, because that destroys the battery of the phone. I'm one of those people, thanks, bye.

            If they didn't gave us exynos models then I'd buy the s24+

                      Exynos 2400 is nearly the same efficiency as Snapdragon now, so expect the battery life to be on par with S23 which was really good.

So I think your battery health is probably around 80%, or under, and that's why it's charging so fast. Either way, which Samsung is that and how long have you had it for?

                                        UWB on base model?
                                        Freaking camera update? S22 S23 has identical cameras, now S24 is having same cams all over again?

                                        Good news on bumped battery and LTPO on all models. But still, it's really small update. Even iPhone 15 Pro feels a better upgrade than this.

                                        We'll see.
