          Hot take: I stopped caring about Samsung ever since they became hypocrites and copied Apple's every move they mocked (headphone jack, no charger in the box, etc).

          Despite living in the US, I couldn't care less about any of their releases. Smartphone market has stagnated (at least out here) so I can't get excited for any of this until battery tech/material gets better.

            "Yes, we know small phone fans are out there but sales figures don't lie."

            If that's really the case, then Samsung won't be making it today, right? After all, Apple and Sony keep making the iPhone Pro and Xperia 5 to this day.

              "The move to a titanium alloy frame is making a difference
              While Apple's move from a stainless steel frame was about an overdue weight cutting, Samsung's move from aluminum (armor or not) to titanium brings structural and thermal benefits. Titanium alloy dissipates heat faster than aluminum and is stronger."

              Titanium (assuming its 6ALV4) is nowhere near as good at dissipating heat as aluminum... 6ALV4 has a thermal conductivity of around 7.5 W/m*K while aluminum alloys are often 150 - 250 W/m*K. Titanium is stronger per gram but it definitely is not a better heat dissipater.

                They're trying so hard to be like apple.

You can uninstall or disable most "double apps", unused apps get put to sleep automatically. It's not like all those apps are running actively running in the background. With up to 1TB of storage and 12GB of RAM, large batteries, all of this is non issue and hasn't been for years.

                        justasmile, 22 Jan 2024Well, they slimmed down the top and bottom bezels, and it d... moreUniform doesn't always mean better, all I see on the front are bigger bezels than last year, cheaper look for more money, and same design on the back. They've upgraded one of the two telephoto cameras, big deal. Overpriced brick is all this is, the vivo X100 Pro is already a better phone, let alone the Find X7 Ultra, and the not yet existing X100 Pro+, or X100 Ultra.

                          Anonymous, 22 Jan 2024You must be blind tho if you can't tell symmetrical bezelsSymmetrical, maybe, nobody said they weren't, but better/slimmer than last year, they aren't.

                                Personally I congratulate you for your S24U because this is the refinement phone of S21U, S22U, S23U.
                                This will be S25U next year but we are not a fortune teller, are we?
