I upgrade to the S24 from my S23 and the camera is absolutely atrocious. Low light ghosting is a mess, so is the stabilization on videos.

IQ200, 21 Aug 2024No. People don't usually go into the store and compare... more1) The bigger S24 Plus is more expensive than the smaller S24. If the plus model is cheaper to make, then the price doesn't make sense.
2) Just as the S24 has a big fan base (even if it's not the majority of customers) and brings in a big profit, a similarly sized A-series phone would also bring a profit due to its fan base of similar customers, just that they can't afford expensive S-series prices, but would definitely buy something in the mid-range or budget segment.
3) The profit of a compact A-series phone would be much higher than whatever Samsung's making (or not) from the ridiculous A/M/F/C/X/Y/Z duplicate devices that they produce for a few countries. Basically they take a budget phone, make tiny changes, and then slap on a new M/F/XYZ model onto it as if it's actually a different option. Brilliant people they have working in their planning departments...

If smaller phones are costlier to produce, why is the S24 much cheaper than the S24 Plus, shouldn't it be the opposite?

Anonymous, 16 Aug 2024Everyone who wants a compact affordable phone needs to unit... moreGo to your favorite browser and type in how much is the average cost of a midranger like Galaxy A55 and compare it with the cost of making the Galaxy S24. if i wasn't clear enough.... midranger can't be too expensive as they belong to certain class of phones called midrange. Why is this important you may ask? Because a smaller phone is way harder to produce then bigger one. Harder to produce means more expensive, more expensive means higher end price.
Conclusion.
2 main factors.
1. Smaller phones are worth to produce for OEM's only if it's in higher tier because of the higher profit margines there. 100€ difference means almost nothing in higher tier but on a midranger it's a lot.
2. General peoples thinking is that bigger is always better and in case of phones, bigger phone will always be considered as a better value then a smaller phone.
So, it's not just the factor if we The people want more compact phones or not. There is no petition needed. The main factor is that smaller phones are not worth of producing for OEM's because of the higher production costs.

Anonymous, 11 Aug 2024You may be right. But other thing is true as well. They try... moreNo. People don't usually go into the store and compare it directly as you've mentioned in your example. They usually buy their phone via carrier or shop online.
Also, smaller phone is harder (read more expensive) to make so OEM's can afford it only in high tier like S series where profit margines are much higher then on A series where they have sharp competition and where every cent is important because those are suposed to be value phones. That wont matter much in high tier and that's why we see "compact" phones only in high(ish) tier phones. Xperia is an excpetion but they are pretty much exception on every field lol.
So, to answer people who want a smaller more affordable phone. Yes, I know many people want it, i want them too, but as you and many people already stated...
they are not coming back to mainstream affordable phones like A series because of the price of making the smaller phone and general thinking bigger is always better. Especially considering the price which is on the side of bigger phones.
