Don, 01 Feb 2024I kind of doubt the s24 and s24 plus have a virtual proximi... moreThe battery life weirdness is actually not weird at all, it comes from the fact that the comparison is between Exynos 2400 (S24 international) and Snapdragon 8G2 (S23 all versions). The S24 Exynos barely beats the S23 Snapdragon in battery life, but it is also much faster so much more efficient. Also, S24 is close to the S24+ in battery life because S24+ has a QHD resolution (as opposed to FHD in S24) and 20% more screen area to illuminate.

Absolutely awful photo quality I don't know what's wrong with GSM Arena eyes but saturation over sharpening and noise are awful

I kind of doubt the s24 and s24 plus have a virtual proximity sensor.
Saw them in real and they have same sensor the s23 and s23 plus had, and those had regular ones.
Also the Samsung website mentioned A54 having a virtual one in the specs, yet with the S24 and S24 plus they mention a physical proximity sensor.
Really weird
Above that, I am surprised this site tested the battery of both s24 and s24 plus, s24 has a mostly on par battery life the s23 had, but s24 plus barely defeats the base s24 and is much worse than s23 plus.
Weird, it feels like guys here didn't do proper research.

MarOMG, 01 Feb 20247 years of OS updates sounds great. But would you want it? ... more7years of OS updates helps a lot the used market.
And there are people these days that actually use older flagships the same way many others do that change devices frequently.
Calls, social media, content consumption, web browsing, checking emails/texting,maybe some casual gaming.
A Galaxy Note9(especially Snapdragon 845 version,not Exynos),holds well even today for all the above despite being a 2018 device.

MarOMG, 01 Feb 20247 years of OS updates sounds great. But would you want it? ... moreI have an S8 as a backup phone (of my backup phone, which is a Samsung Note 10, lol) and it still works like a charm. The ONLY problem with it is that it has stopped receiving software updates a long time ago so it's missing out on all the new features, but for those who don't need/care about those feature, it's a very serviceable phone even today. So I can certainly see the attraction of 7 years of support.

They go too far with that virtual proximity sensor. It is just downright unacceptable for $900+ phones

The virtual proximity sensor is a cheap touch, though at least it won't readily malfunction like the real proximity sensor on my Note 10 does (but the one one my even older Samsung S8 still works without issues; go figure!)

Honor 90 has ultrasound proximity sensor. Gimmick or not, it's an actual proximity sensor and a 330€ phone

Looks like the marketing for S23 went really well compared to this one.

7 years of OS updates sounds great. But would you want it? Its like using Galaxy S8 today with it's Exynos 8895. Helio G99 has more power than that chip. Or even Snapdragon 685.

This is an easy skip, especially the Exynos version.
I also expected a bit more on the brightness part.
Its a pretty phone design wise, but its an overall disappointing one.

I was shocked by the inclusion of the virtual proximity sensor.
And lackluster performance across the board (don't just read the reviewer's words, see and hear the evidence provided in the review).
I really hope Samsung finally hit the rock bottom and they can only rise from now on.

Are they reviewing the 128Gb version or the 256 one?

You will see difference in 50 MPixel photos.
But, only 12Mpxels are in review.

Love its look, minor change but cute.
It's also nice they lower the picture smoothing for more details.
Never Exynos anyway. Don't trust any benchmark, in real life it is exoshit. And at 900, it's a scam.
I target 8gen3 ( not eu ), but not at 900. After two months or three usually zamzung lower price significantly, but don't say it haha.

Krillo, 01 Feb 2024Strange that the zenfone10 or xiaomi 13 or 14 is not mentio... moreNot listing Zenfone but instead giving you Ultra as an alternative
