Samsung Galaxy S24 Review - The PERFECT Small Phone?

  • I don't think people realized it, but phones getting bigger started off as more of a form following function. I mean Steve Jobs even used the words "we've made something wonderful for your hand" when the first iPhone was launched, mainly because the original idea was for your phone to be ergonomic. I seriously wonder if Samsung ever thought the first Galaxy Note would ever become the phenomenon that it was. It's funny in retrospect that all of us in the media mocked the concept of using a phone that big, only for the market to force even Apple to follow the trend.
    Now I say form follows function because at first it really was just a concept, which then evolved into the need of giving users more endurance, since battery technology hasn't really shrunk in a decade. At the time you picked the big phone because you wanted it to last longer, but I'm sure many of you still struggle with handling it every day. I'm sure that if any company were to figure out how to make a great small phone with amazing battery life, you might think twice… and well, it seems the time has finally come.
    This is the Galaxy S24, Samsung's smallest of its latest flagships, and maybe the best phone for anyone that's looking for a great phone on a more ergonomic package. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and let's dive in to our full review.

      I'm sticking with the S23. I'd prefer rounder edges of older phones like the S8/9/10, but the S23 is rounded enough to make it comfortable to use. The squared off edges of the S24 may make the phone cheaper to manufacturer, but it's not great for prolonged use. I'm also in an exynos regions (the UK) so I wouldn't consider upgrading.

      you dont understand how a display is measured. A iPhone 6+ is 78x158mm, the S24 is 70.6x147mm. Even though the 6+ has a 5.5 inch screen and the S24 has a 6.2 inch screen. Its small because its screen takes up the whole screen.

    @andyH_England 2 месяца назад +24

    Yes, I love the S23 more than the Ultra. The feel and compact nature just won me over. I was going to upgrade to the S24 for the better battery life. Still, it is Exynos in my region, and some great YT videos highlight that the Exynos S24 is similar to the S23 in battery life and around 13% worse than Snapdragon if you use it off wifi. It also heats up 2-3c more than the S24 Snapdragon, which is in the Winter; in the summer, it may become unusable. Also, the zoom camera has issues on the Exynos ATM.
    So, in the end, I kept the S23; I only get circa 5 hours of SOT off wifi, which can be enough for most days. The Snapdragon S24 would have given me more headroom.

      That being said, I would not recommend buying one of those flip phones.
      Any moving part, especially something like those folding displays, is prone to break simply by using it.

      Long story short - there are a lot of variables that could make battery diffrence between SD and exynos, but we gotta agree that SD overall is better (even though samsung choked SD realy bad for some reason).

    As someone who's been along for the ride since the Galaxy S, I have to admit it feels a bit weird and cringey to gush over the hardware of the S24. Basically because it now looks like an iPhone. Which isn't a bad thing. Almost as long as I've had a Galaxy as my personal device, I've used the corresponding generation iPhone as my work device. There were only 3 things that Apple routinely beat Samsung on:
    1. Ecosystem
    2. User interface
    3. HARDWARE DESIGN
    I'd almost prefer that Samsung gonback to rounded edges versus flat just for branding and continuity sake....but it looks SOOOO good. I have the 24+ and its my favorite of Galaxy of All-time thus far
