Samsung Galaxy A24 4G review

4 June 2023


Sort by:

*edit * 8GB

    An excellent phone at this price tag. It offers ample storage, along with an SD slot; a 3.5 mm headphone jack and NFC. More open than an iPhone; I would recommend you buy this one. (And did I mention a 3.5 mm headphone jack?)

    Personally I have noticed that there is a trend with smartphones these days (especially Android based) for them to have exorbitant RAM. Is it because of the inadequate GPU's the Android OEM's (nd System on Chip) uses?
    This may have caused these crazy price hikes on modern smartphones. (As a result, they cost the same or more than a desktop computer.)

    I may still be old school; but why would a smartphone OS [in this case Android - even the Samsung Galaxy A24] need 4 GB of RAM to run? Usually that amount of RAM would be reserved for desktop PC's. (And OS's)
    And now (Android) smartphones need 6/8 GB of ram to run - the same as a fully featured gaming PC.
    Am I missing something here? Wouldn't I rather just get a normal PC for a cheaper price tag? Lord forbid, even a Playstation 4.

    These devices use micro computer processors less than a laptop; so I don't understand.
    Perhaps (Android) OEM's (and hence the SoC's) could improve the GPU so it does not require so much system RAM.
    Maybe then we could compete with the iphone.

    I would much rather pay for a thing that can play decent games at such a price tag (looking at Android smartphone market trends.)
    I repeat; I have never heard of a micro processor(s) that needs pplul58 GB to run

      I just noticed this, but why does it say no 5G is a problem? Can't you see it's literally called Galaxy A24 4G? They're obviously gonna release a 5G variant later.

Older than S20, under A32 (2021) and A51 (2020) have 3/4 year updates, and under A2x series and 2019 A series have all 2/4 year updates.

That users shouldn't get to choose or what? It may be battery draining to you, but convenient/handy to another.

                    enpy, 12 Jun 2023Efficiency is output/input, not duration of work. The 8100 ... moreAmoled is efficient only if you display dark colors, when you display Bright colors its not as efficient as lcd. Like browsing if you forgot to turn on dark mode and let white colors dominate your screen lcd is better than Amoled.

                    Both D8100 and E1380 have A78/A55 when you play Video or browse internet you barely use Much Cpu/gpu so more powerfull cpu dont consume more power than what is needed and you can see E1380 has like 40 to 50% advantage between those phone, even if its true about capacity the difference is like 5% doesnt explain why it lose that much.

                    You guys wants to hate on Exynos and will try to find all Excuse in the world than admitting E1380 is efficient soc.

                      Hemedans, 05 Jun 2023You are welcome to prove, https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgro... moreEfficiency is output/input, not duration of work. The 8100 is much, much more powerful than the E1380 at the same power draw. Not even close.

                      Besides that, the of course the A54 has better battery endurance rating than the X4 considering that:
                      1. It uses AMOLED while the poco uses LCD, the test includes video playback where OLED screens are much more power efficient.
                      2. Poco was running Android 12 at the time of review, a notoriously unoptimised version.
                      3. A54 uses samsung batteries, which tend to be higher capacity than Xiaomi 'rated capacity' that is actually 4860MAh at most

                          "When it comes to the Galaxy A24, the same applies, with the 542 offer – you get 5 years of security updates, 4 times Android OS updates, and 2-year warranty[1]. For a smartphone that comes at such an accessible price point, this brings you AWESOME value like you won’t believe!"

                                    just a smile, 10 Jun 2023As far as I've read you've mistyped A24 for A34. ... moreyeah I was typo not A34 but A24.

                                      Anyways, A24 has One UI which is better than MIUI and has better display (Super AMOLED). It also has one more year of security updates.
