Same thing is going to happen for s24 series as well. After quite a while samsung was able to keep up with the compitition in 2023, now the base s24 variant willl feature exynos 😅
The hardware is the least of my concern... The missing features & usability problems & bugs is the main problem for me! My older Galaxy phones didn't have these issues & had way more options & adjustments, and didn't have the weird usability bugs.
I am using s21fe with exynos processor and i am frustated too with poor battery life. it doesn't even give 20hrs orf battery life even on battery saver more. exynos processors suck tbh.
Totally agree with your take on this as these are the same woes I share with samsung phones in general. They have industry leading hardware and yet they refule to include it in their phones. Example, pulse width modulation (pwm) is something that affects 1 in 10 people. It is caused due to oled flicker as a means to control brightness. It is sonething that i suggest anyone to look into as its a broad topic and worth a 10 min read, but the short answer is, pwm below 500hz flicker causes eye strain to the user along with nausea, and this is (mostly) what makes people have headaches when using their phones in the dark. Iphones have 480hz pwm, but samsung has 240hz pwm. You can even see the screen flicker if you open the camera app and preview the screen footage of the samsung screen and see the flicker. I generally have headaches and eye strain when using samsung phones, but not iphones or chinese lcd and oled phones. While top tier flagships like the newly announced iqoo 12 have 2160hz pwm, samsung’s s23 ultra has 240hz pwm. Its incredibly frustrating when you know samsung has the tech to make the better screen (they are screen suppliers for the iphone and the iphones have better pwm), but they refuse to include it in their products. They can destroy the iphone with even their currently available tech and they always just manage to beat the iphone in overall specs. And ironically, in typical Samsung fashion, they ran an advertising campaign on their oled displays, stating why high pwm is safer for the eye and low pwm is linked with eye strain, yet they dont include the tech with their phones. I wish you talk about this feature in one video. Also their insistence to include exynos with samsung flagships which are almost always slower and hotter than their qualcomm counterparts, while in fact, they can make cost effective midrange chips with flagship level of power efficiency and low heat, while providing modest performance at midrange price over snapdragon 7 series is also annoying. And whats more, most western reviewers champion samsung as their flagship android phone with the best specs, while chinese phones offer similar or less performance while costing much less. Also there is the software aspect, but i think samsung is way behind in hardware department, and in markets such as India, software really doesnt help much in sales as people rather prefer even last gen flagship hardware at cheaper price over current midrange hardware. Sorry for the rant, but these were my thoughts. Hope samsung does better
I completely understand your feelings! Several of these Chinese competitors have far surpassed Samsung in several departments... especially camera performance. The biggest feature that these brands are missing is display out through Type-C else almost everything else is just as good (may be Samsung has an edge with One UI) or better. I could've made a way longer video tearing into Samsung. And yes techtubers have hyped up Samsung update policy so much that many have gotten brainwashed that updates are everything completely ignoring the fact that their hardware is dog turd. People have commented on my video that they would purchase Tab S7 FE 4G over Tab S7+ just because of updates (these two were really close in price a year back)!! Ridiculous! Same logic they apply on scam like Tab S9 FE vs excellent tablet like Mi Pad 6. There is so much frustration and a lot to talk about!! God Samsung why you do this!??!!
@@techstation365 yeah I agree with the usb c and software update problem. Faster Type c standard can not only help with display output but also faster transfer speeds. And occasionally connecting the phone to a bigger display for better file management and projects that can be done on phone like a powerpoint, but can achieve better productivity with an external display support. And im sick of the bullshit marketing of software updates. Iam using my mom’s old s8 plus as secondary android phone, and even though it runs oneui 1 and has only 4 gigs of ram, it rums perfectly fine and dare i say, even close to a 10,000rs phone. The software has been great even now. However, ios 17.2 has been a buggy mess with my ipad and iphone - safari is too slow to organise and manage tabs and apps take longer to load. Software updates literally slow down even flagship products, and i learnt my lesson of never updating software unless bugs are fixed Iam also sick of the fact that big tech and most techtubers want to push us to buy more hardware in order to be more productive, yet even a midrange flagship can perform 90% of the tasks you want even without external screen support. Rather than going all in on a perfect mobile device, they would rather screw us over with giving us good enough specs and charging us more for said crap with promises of longer software updates, that actually slow down your phone and force you to buy a new device much more sooner than the guaranteed software life of the devices, and also make you buy their other hardware with similar woes mentioned above. And now with AI buzzword coming to their devices, I guess devices may become much more intelligent to brick themselves faster at the perfect time so me might buy new phones much faster…
I second this.... "Upgrading" from my old Galaxy 9 to the S20 felt like a major downgrade. Important features are now missing, weird & annoying bugs & phone behavior, etc. It's just way less pleasing to use! There are some seriously headscratching issues, like not being able to keep just the Ringer on while Muting notifications, the cursor & screen keeps jumping around & scrolling when trying to edit text, many missing options, etc. I just don't get it... Why is it like this?? This will absolutely be the last Samsung Galaxy phone I ever buy. I will be switching to another brand after this.
I agree with most of the video. Samsung's latest phone models do have certain features downgraded that make it more attractive to purchase an older model from one or two years ago instead. For instance, I remember I was at a store looking at the Samsung Galaxy S22+ and comparing it to my current S20+ and, besides maybe a better camera and variable refresh-rate screen and 5G, my S20+ was better since it has more RAM, the SD card slot, and the screen was also bigger as well. This is why I got my mom and her friend used S20+ since it was the best value for the money and there is no 5G yet in my country anyway (Panama), so no use in getting a 5G device. As for the Android upgrade, your opinion does not coincide with my experience. My S20+ is stuck on One UI 5.1 but honestly it has made the phone faster than ever with very, very decent battery life because the Snapdragon 865 is still great in 2024 and the 12GB of RAM has also made it very future-proof. I think this is why Samsung is nerfing their later models, because they realize that they "give too much away" to not entice enough upgrades.
My stance on Android updates is that I wouldn't sacrifice good hardware over poor hardware with good software. Samsung has streamlined their software development process so much so that it has become really cost effective and so they are mainly using it as a "feature" while gimping on hardware and techtubers and casuals are eating this up!! They don't realize that poor hardware will never give a good user experience and software updates will only make the experience worse. Your S20+ has plenty good hardware but compare to scams like Tab S9 FE or A53 or A54 etc.. I have seen people saying that they would buy a Tab S9 FE over a Mi Pad 6 mainly because of Samsung's software. Same with people preferring to buy Tab S7 FE 4GB over Tab S7+ when the two were close in price, just because of the promise of more software updates. Hell people would pick a Tab S9 FE over the Tab S7+ On personal note even I'm on Android 5.1.1 on my Galaxy S20 FE 5G SD865 and it's perfect. I don't need to upgrade to a new phone for One UI 6 and then lose the microSD slot.
Hello bro, i am exiting the oneplus 8 pro, i need a good camera and a capable phone, my pics are apple 15 pro max, s24u and pixel 8 pro, but i dropped pixel 8 pro for its chipset, now im confused with apple kr samsung, yes the tiny sensor is bitpainful to see but i cant notice much difference in the image output with other flagships as it is compensated much with post processing, the new 5x telephoto looks great on samsung while iphone is the top player in dxo mark. Can you tell your view which one to go ? Vivo im not considering as of now, but i checked the cameras they are awesome.
Not into Google Pixel 8 Pro due to Tensor G2. Not into S24U because it's overpriced and has terrible low light and video performance. Not into iPhone because iOS is worst. My choices are OnePlus 12,Iqoo 12, Xiaomi 14 Pro/13 Pro or Vivo X90 Pro/100 Pro.
The hardware specs are the least of my concerns.... I was expecting this video to be about what actually matters - Usability! The newer Galaxy phones have less options & more usability issues than any of my older Galaxy phones had. I just want a phone that's user friendly & behaves like I would expect! The newer Galaxy phones have some headscratching omissions for tweaks & options & have strange behavioral issues. Even something as simple as muting Notifications while keeping the Ringer on is now impossible... Ridiculous! & that is just the start of the issues, there are MANY more! I had both the S4 and S9 and they both worked significantly better than my S20+. This S20+ will be the last Samsung phone that I buy. They are going downhill.
You are a flagship user which is why you don't bother as core specs are still decent, keeping the user experience snappy. Go below S line and the entire lineup is dog turd due to incapable hardware. 4 years of software updates? Even the stock software is stuttery.
I never saw it this way. You are making a few good points, something the potential customer should be aware of. I currently own S23U which i bought recently for a great deal (82k) and I agree with you on the cameras..it is quite disappointing to see it capture blurry photos even when there's slight movement by the subject, Oversharpened HDR videos and mediocre low light. I think i should have bought an iphone instead.
iOS isn't my cup of tea, but in terms of brute camera performance there are several Androids that have surpassed Samsung(and even iPhones) by a long shot.... only because Samsung themselves are cutting cost by using gimmicky sensors. You should try out phones like the X90 Pro or Mi 12S Ultra/13 Pro. The images and videos from these phones with 1inch sensors will blow you away! Check the 12S Ultra here: ruclips.net/video/L3PBuQKpJyo/видео.htmlsi=DFeOH-2L_gioiNt4
You are right but if you live in North America like me Samsung is the cheapest flagship phone you can buy. As long as you have their phone, you continue to get the next one cheaper. Their trade in and preorder deals are the best
then bro pls reply me why do the chinese flagships like mi 12 ultra oneplus 11 and vivo x100 pro cant beat s23 ultra in terms of video quality {excluding darker environments} even if they've better sensors according to you😏..I'm also using s20fe5g nd m happy with it
Bro you need eye surgery if you believe this. I am an actual mirrorless camera user with real lenses and I have experienced the S23 Ultra and the X90 Pro. The 1 inch sensor packs so much micro details compared to the oversharpened look of the S23 Ultra, it's not even funny. The biggest difference is in 60 fps mode(1080p/4K) which looks horrible on the 22U and 23U. For Mi 12S Ultra, this is what it can do -> ruclips.net/video/L3PBuQKpJyo/видео.html I have NEVER seen micro detail like this on a 22U or 23U, in fact ever on any other phone.
@@techstation365 I watched your video how to enable 3x portrait in s20fe through g cam nd I'm really thankful to you ...I loved this feature pls bro help me in porting this rom pls make a video
I’m not sure if Samsung was trying to save money and increase profits, but the hardware specs and pricing seem all over the place. Let’s take a look at the RAM and storage configurations across various Samsung models: Note 10 Plus: 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, and an SD card slot. Note 20 Ultra (Note 20U): 12GB RAM, 128GB storage, and an SD card slot. S21 Ultra (S21U): 12GB RAM, 128GB storage. S22 Ultra (S22U): 8GB RAM, 128GB storage. S23 Ultra (S23U): 8GB RAM, 256GB storage. S24 Ultra (S24U): 12GB RAM, 256GB storage. As you’ve rightly pointed out, the RAM and storage configurations have been fluctuating over the years. I wonder if the S Ultra series decreased in price to compensate for these variations. For instance, the Note 20 Ultra was priced at $1,299 when it was released. Now, with the S24 Ultra, Samsung might need to do something different to keep users like me interested. In the US, the trade-in and preorder deal for the S24 Ultra was so tempting that I couldn’t resist. I’m trading in my Note 20 Ultra, and after factoring in some freebies, I paid either $717 or $599 before taxes. If the price had been higher, I might not have opted for the S24 Ultra.
I understand. Getting a good deal on it is the only way to justify these new releases. The price is simply too high otherwise - especially in 3rd world countries.
@@techstation365 From reading the forums it seems USA has the best deals. From my experience of traveling through Europe and Asia, it seems like other parts of the worlds has more affordable options. Chinese smartphones are not known or sold in major stores. If you Americans want some of the Chinese phones then they have to order them. Then the import taxes and shipping end up costing the same without warranty.
Funny thing is Samsung has been doing this with ALL their products across the board, including their TV's. Their lower/Mid line TV's have been SIGNIFICANTLY downgraded in quality. They are now becoming a brand that sells on name alone, cutting costs in all the wrong places. Im done with Samsung.
I really disappointed with the s24 series, mainly with the s24 ultra ,not that much hardware upgrade in it, they are simply trying to follow the 🍎 way, titanium body, flat screen,5x periscope. I am really disappointed with what Samsung saying as Galaxy AI it is truly a gymic just trying to follow the pixel way.. as a true Samsung fan boy from 2012 to still now what Samsung is doing now a days is purely marketing gymic, i really miss the old Samsung days
Unfortunately iOS too compromising for me. And I'm definitely not gonna give my money to a brand who is the leader of anti-consumer practices 😅 But yea Samsung is headed in the same way.
i feel you. im, i guess pick the one your least fustrated with, ios does lack in options but it is polished and has good updates and support.@@techstation365
See bro, Apple caters to those users who are used to this behavior. Apple users are used to paying more for less and less choice and control over their own devices. However Samsung caters to Android users who have plenty of choices and are generally more of a power user. Many people call Samsung - "The Apple of Android" as a praise but to me that's the negative part. Samsung used to uphold the spirit of Android with good hardware and plenty of features but we are losing that now... in fact Samsung has already lost that touch.
I do want to say something on the display downgrading as thats no really a problem in day to day life and plus since the display is small on the such the s21 it was the first with 1080p it a smaller phone phone and u wont notice that small upgrade degrade in screen. I am a user of a53 and the undergrade of chip really didnt made any problem and i had got 8 hours of pubg on a single battery charge so i dont think its a downgrade I do agree on some facts u say but i degree on the screen downgrade
You may not care about the downgrade in SoC as it doesn't affect you specifically..but that's not a good practice and I can't support. It's simply reducing the futureproofing of your device.
@techstation365 I get ur point in downgrade but I have went through two andriod upgrades and there is no difference as I play games and use it for my day to day use.
Samsung has been happily stripping away essential features ever since Note 9 came out. Fanboys are too blind to see the reality. Value for money has been plummeting ever since note 9 came out. Consumers are happy with paying 1200 or 1300 dollars for what's a massive downgrade to older flagships, too stupid and blind to see the reality ... it's unfortunate how big corporations blinded by greed and profit have been getting away with fooling us consumers. No charger in the box sealed the fate for me. The thing is, every other company has been following the footsteps of Samsung in the android space, likes of google, Sony etc. Stick with older flagships. We should stop giving our hard earned money for what's essentially a massive downgrade. I'm happy with my s20 fe, it's performing better than ever, and yes SD card support.
Hello fellow S20 FE 5G user! Galaxy S20 FE 5G - No-Nonsense Flagship killer with all the essential features and more. Truely the last of it's kind. This phone will develop a cult following in the modern age. If only it had the headphone jack.
@@techstation365 You earned yourself a subscriber ✨️ glad to see atleast someone raise his voice against the rogue acts done by huge corporations that run the world. It's time us consumers realize this and stand up against such activities. Your best bet is to go for a midrange phone. Headphone jack, micro SD card support and the charger included in the box. That's where you get the best bang for your buck. Won't be giving up on my s20 fe though. Truly the last of its kind. Will continue to use it until it's physically impossible to make it run.
Samsung has an entire ECO-SYSTEM of devices that are great build quality and simply work. The problems you are pointing out are ones that someone "technical" would notice, but most people out there just want devices that WORK and are reliable and are easy to repair which Samsung is and not to mention how well the eco system works, 80% of their customers dont care whats under the hood. Look at Apple??Even worse when it comes to points you mentioned :)
Thanks for pointing out the reason why Samsung is acting like Apple because People don't care 🙂 But since I clearly care, it's hard for me to stay with Samsung going forward.

Note 20 Ultra (Note 20U): 12GB RAM, 128GB storage, and an SD card slot.

S23 Ultra (S23U): 8GB RAM, 256GB storage.
S24 Ultra (S24U): 12GB RAM, 256GB storage.
As you’ve rightly pointed out, the RAM and storage configurations have been fluctuating over the years. I wonder if the S Ultra series decreased in price to compensate for these variations. For instance, the Note 20 Ultra was priced at $1,299 when it was released. Now, with the S24 Ultra, Samsung might need to do something different to keep users like me interested.
In the US, the trade-in and preorder deal for the S24 Ultra was so tempting that I couldn’t resist. I’m trading in my Note 20 Ultra, and after factoring in some freebies, I paid either $717 or $599 before taxes. If the price had been higher, I might not have opted for the S24 Ultra.
I understand. Getting a good deal on it is the only way to justify these new releases. The price is simply too high otherwise - especially in 3rd world countries.
@@techstation365 From reading the forums it seems USA has the best deals. From my experience of traveling through Europe and Asia, it seems like other parts of the worlds has more affordable options. Chinese smartphones are not known or sold in major stores. If you Americans want some of the Chinese phones then they have to order them. Then the import taxes and shipping end up costing the same without warranty.
Funny thing is Samsung has been doing this with ALL their products across the board, including their TV's. Their lower/Mid line TV's have been SIGNIFICANTLY downgraded in quality.
They are now becoming a brand that sells on name alone, cutting costs in all the wrong places. Im done with Samsung.
I really disappointed with the s24 series, mainly with the s24 ultra ,not that much hardware upgrade in it, they are simply trying to follow the 🍎 way, titanium body, flat screen,5x periscope. I am really disappointed with what Samsung saying as Galaxy AI it is truly a gymic just trying to follow the pixel way.. as a true Samsung fan boy from 2012 to still now what Samsung is doing now a days is purely marketing gymic, i really miss the old Samsung days
I feel you. And this video was getting a good amount of views but somehow RUclips removed it from the algorithm during S24 reveal.
i feel the same, also their warranty is crap, thats why i have gone back to Apple..
Unfortunately iOS too compromising for me. And I'm definitely not gonna give my money to a brand who is the leader of anti-consumer practices 😅
But yea Samsung is headed in the same way.
i feel you. im, i guess pick the one your least fustrated with, ios does lack in options but it is polished and has good updates and support.@@techstation365
Waiting for a video on your thoughts on Samsung galaxy watch 4 & 5 getting ECG & BP monitoring in India region
Ohh is it? I actually unlocked it way back.. with Samsung Health Monitoring mod. 😅 I just never had a use for it..
@@techstation365 😄 Nice. Good to see that now the watch 4 that I bought has both Samsung tap to pay and these ECG and BP monitor finally.
All that is true but I'd still say Samsung is the lesser of the two evils, the other being Apple
See bro, Apple caters to those users who are used to this behavior. Apple users are used to paying more for less and less choice and control over their own devices.
However Samsung caters to Android users who have plenty of choices and are generally more of a power user. Many people call Samsung - "The Apple of Android" as a praise but to me that's the negative part. Samsung used to uphold the spirit of Android with good hardware and plenty of features but we are losing that now... in fact Samsung has already lost that touch.
I do want to say something on the display downgrading as thats no really a problem in day to day life and plus since the display is small on the such the s21 it was the first with 1080p it a smaller phone phone and u wont notice that small upgrade degrade in screen.
I am a user of a53 and the undergrade of chip really didnt made any problem and i had got 8 hours of pubg on a single battery charge so i dont think its a downgrade
I do agree on some facts u say but i degree on the screen downgrade
You may not care about the downgrade in SoC as it doesn't affect you specifically..but that's not a good practice and I can't support. It's simply reducing the futureproofing of your device.
@techstation365 I get ur point in downgrade but I have went through two andriod upgrades and there is no difference as I play games and use it for my day to day use.
Samsung has been happily stripping away essential features ever since Note 9 came out. Fanboys are too blind to see the reality. Value for money has been plummeting ever since note 9 came out. Consumers are happy with paying 1200 or 1300 dollars for what's a massive downgrade to older flagships, too stupid and blind to see the reality ... it's unfortunate how big corporations blinded by greed and profit have been getting away with fooling us consumers. No charger in the box sealed the fate for me. The thing is, every other company has been following the footsteps of Samsung in the android space, likes of google, Sony etc. Stick with older flagships. We should stop giving our hard earned money for what's essentially a massive downgrade. I'm happy with my s20 fe, it's performing better than ever, and yes SD card support.
Hello fellow S20 FE 5G user!
Galaxy S20 FE 5G - No-Nonsense Flagship killer with all the essential features and more. Truely the last of it's kind. This phone will develop a cult following in the modern age.
If only it had the headphone jack.
You sound insane
Fellow S20 fe user here 🎉
I also agree I can't live without micro SD card. That's why I won't upgrade from my Galaxy S10+ cause I love my headphones jack and micro sd
@@techstation365 You earned yourself a subscriber ✨️ glad to see atleast someone raise his voice against the rogue acts done by huge corporations that run the world. It's time us consumers realize this and stand up against such activities. Your best bet is to go for a midrange phone. Headphone jack, micro SD card support and the charger included in the box. That's where you get the best bang for your buck.
Won't be giving up on my s20 fe though. Truly the last of its kind. Will continue to use it until it's physically impossible to make it run.
Samsung has an entire ECO-SYSTEM of devices that are great build quality and simply work. The problems you are pointing out are ones that someone "technical" would notice, but most people out there just want devices that WORK and are reliable and are easy to repair which Samsung is and not to mention how well the eco system works, 80% of their customers dont care whats under the hood. Look at Apple??Even worse when it comes to points you mentioned :)
Thanks for pointing out the reason why Samsung is acting like Apple because People don't care 🙂
But since I clearly care, it's hard for me to stay with Samsung going forward.
Truth nice video
Samsung ❌ Scamsung ✅
Yup, Samsung is now all about big words & suckering casual buyers who think they're still good.
Totally..
My trusty S20 FE 5G with microSD and a great price tag will be my last.
Samsung is great. S24Ultra for me. Samsung Fanboy forever. I love everything Samsung has to offer❤
That's your opinion.. Everyone has different expectations.
