Jagganatha, 13 Feb 2024I like the flat front, as it is so much better when in use ... morebro it has a 200mp camera, wdym 12mp?

    I like the flat front, as it is so much better when in use to view video and compose photographs as well as play games, and never have understood the curved screen/ narrow edge option at all. But hey Samsung, you are STILL only providing a 12MP ultrawide to go with the 200MP main cam? Not good enough as tthe ultrawides always need far more pixels than a standard wide lens simply because they should resolve and contain many times more detail than a normal lens is capable of at the same subject distance. I mean what is the point exactly of selling an ultrawide whose detail resolution is not as great as the main cam. You cannot pretend matching 12MP with 12MP is even reklevant here, and can you uktrawide even manage to do an ultrawide sweep panorama AT ALL?

        Attention Smart Philippines! The mobile data of my SIM2 was deactivated a few days ago. It should be completey openline (SIM2). Otherwise, having a dual sim phone is useless. Please reactivate the openline mobile data capability of SIM2 of my S24 Ultra. Please be fair to your subscribers. Do not be greedy. Resolve this immediately.

          Your point about the lenses makes sense as they after all capture the images initially.

            Anonymous, 18 Jan 2024Bruh calm down. It's just a phone. Don't make it ... morerare to see a sane person in the comments for once

              s24u: 111mm lens for the telephoto module
              s23u: 230mm lens for the telephoto module
              s22u: 230mm lens for the telephoto module

              It's basically a downgrade.

                  I wonder how durable it is. I have a case on but because of no display curvature, I don't like the phone with a case on it and it's much less comfortable to use in an official case than ever before.

                        SteveUk, 29 Jan 2024Too big? If you have small hands, maybe. Personally, I'... moreExactly... i need a premium 7.2" flagship like Huawei Mate 20X was (still my favorite phone to date).

                          DDDD19, 22 Jan 2024S24 ultra is too big, I prefer S24 6.2", but, I'm... moreToo big? If you have small hands, maybe. Personally, I'd like a 7.2" version!

                          BTW, 512gb is available on all three S24 models.

                            So yea basically the tldr, everything is marginally better in all ways, highlights could be the screen and build. However in that one way that counts to me, which is the 10x tele, things are not better, but in fact the 10x digital looks more like the 20x I get on s23 ultra.

                              finch, 26 Jan 2024Do you really think people that guess things in optics unde... moreYea, their bad for trying to inform you of the details, they should just put a large green bloco with good written on it if it's good or a red one with poopy written on it if it's crap so you can understand too. Why make it detailed and explain technical stuff right? After all most of you people just buy it cause it's samsung or just buy it cause it's apple anyway, that should be enough right? Silly people trying to learn and understand stuff... just ruining a goood yes or no question with an in dept review. It's either good or poopy right?

Not even all engineers understand it, so why bother? People buy megapixels, let them have it and be happy with it.

                                  Wow, how fast you did the review for the Samsung. Priority maximum possible, for a phone that doesn't really differ from the previous one. Nothing interesting for a majority of users that only use it for Instagram.

                                      Samsung products are the best one could ever thought of getting. I so much love my Samsung s9, doing what it knows how to do best. Well I'm looking forward to get the Samsung note 10+ anytime soon. Samsung phones still remains the best. Cheers!!!

                                        Regarding my previous post:
                                        I wanted to write that the equivalent f-number is useful for comparing the impact of diffraction on the sharpness of a printed photo (printed at the same size) (no matter whether wide angle lens or tele lens), but it's not useful for comparing the diffraction-limited theoretical amount of detail you can get from an object.
