        On purpose or not, GSMarena always miss China on their spec list - not only US/Canada, China always get Snapdragon over Exynos, yet Samsung only takes 1% market share in China. S23 for example, after 6 months the price is approx £600 in the UK vs £380 in China.

          If Samsung made the Galaxy S Ultra weighing 180 grams or less, it would have broken a sales record

            Anyone seen confirmation about the emergency satellite communication feature that Samsung execs suggested in October was happening?
            I was hoping on that and aptx lossless on s24+. Now i see no aptx lossless and probably no sat comms, so not upgrade for me.

              paranoid365, 19 Jan 2024That's so hilarious the person telling someone else to... moreWell, this live translation is not only for travellers but also for everyone as we are living globally todays (for example: we can do trading with any persons in the world, etc). The only boundary of us is our passport LOL
              So, I hope this feature, may be charged in the future, will be in any phones.

                  Anonymous, 19 Jan 2024Does the periscope have macro capabilities?The ultrawide has AF and can make breathtaking macro photo's. One can press the lens almost against the subject. (S22U)

                    If you don't need a feature don't use it, but why do you want to take it from people that it's useful for? :D
                    If you can't afford traveling, the S24U is probably the wrong phone for you anyways.
                    If the majority of people is so important to you, why don't you look for a phone that is made for the majority of people?

                      i got a chance to play with the s24 series(s24, s24+, s24 ultra) while on display in a mall yesterday here at abu dhabi..the ultra was powered by exynos but the other two was snapdragon..i used the encircle to search feature first and it sure comes handy..the 5x zoom on the ultra is neat, but the ultra does remind me of earlier xperia models..

                        Value ia lower and lower, nas and phones are getting bigger and bigger. Even the word phablet disappeared, it became the standard

                          so it looks like the camera upgrade is just negligible. for a better camera experience i will have to go to the vivo x100 pro.!

                            no satellite communication of any sort ? that's the new big thing for me (and pretty sure for a lot of people, that woul pay 1500 eur for a phone these days)

                              All things said, buying from Samsung India website is the most stressfull among all shopping websites. It raises the same question about their post sale service.

                                Okay Exynos version doesn't have Wifi7. This is annoying, especially considering pricing in many markets is relatively the same or even more than the snapdragon markets.

                                  Is this correct for S24? Memory: 128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM, 512GB 8GB RAM; UFS 3.1 - 128GB only, UFS 4.0. 512GB?

Samsung hasn't changed one bit regarding image quality for years. These images look just as over sharpened saturated and noisy as S23 Ultra does. No Kernal will change anything

                                      Thanks for your article. It’s helping me a lot. I have S23U, and my complain is that when I record 4k video, the colors look oversaturated. Would you confirm if colors are more natural when recording video with S24U?

                                      Also, do you know if the unlocked US version works with any gsm carrier wordlwide?

                                      Thanks in advance.
