Nice job, Jeffrey ! 👏🏼 🎉 Most "techTubers" focus their content almost exclusively on the Galaxy Sxx Plus & Ultra lines, so it's refreshing to see a creator show love to the still very-capable base models. I love that Sammy (finally) upgraded the S24 & S24 Plus to OLED displays, and that on balance, the cameras are improving bit by bit each year !
Loved this comparison! I'm an S23 owner and think even after a year it holds up pretty good. The S21 actually holds up well for it's 3 year age. Any S21 owner now is lucky imo. Also I'm kind of glad you didnt add in the S22. The S23 is just a better version of the S22 with some tweaks even though the general set up to the camera is pretty similar.
At this moment, I think S23 is a better option to buy. The differences between S23 and S24 are no bigger, and right now, you can have the S23 for half of the price.
In holland S24 is now 650 euros at providers and 690 at webshops, the s23 can be had for 550. I think the natural color and overal look is better on S24, very important to me at least. With S24, finally Samsung camera's have that pixel and apple look, a bit now, without loosing the Samsung strengths. Also its amazing how much better the zoomed-in parts (beyond 3X) are in S24, but that's still gimmicky anyway. Other then that the S24 has slightly bigger battery (and exynos 2400 really did catch up too!) , slightly bigger ltpo screen. Mind you the S23 gets 4 OS updates and the S24 gets 7(!) OS updates. S23 gets its final update to Android 17 in 2028, while S24 gets its final update to Android 21 in 2030! S24 no-brainer now!

Congratulations! A very interesting and useful video for me at least, thank you. Good job and very qualitative clip, I regret that you did not appear to me earlier on fy. ❤️
@@Mr.Kumar1You're probably right but I take more photos than videos. I don't have that many videos but I have a bunch of pictures taking up my storage
this was a really well done comparison video, you gave us a lot of different kind of environments and subjects. I could clearly see the difference in every shot!
Can I menage iso in portrait video in samsung s21. For example I wanna shoot portrait video with most lower iso to reduce noise. So can I do it in portrait video in s21? Also wanna know s20 plus vs s21 which one is good for overall performance and better video quality?
Interesting to see how small the difference actually is considering they are 4 generation and 3 years apart. Sure the S23 and S24 have more balanced colors, overall less noise and have a slightly better and faster focus, but the difference is not that big to justify an upgrade by itself. The biggest difference is in video, but I believe most users are far more interested in photo than video.
great comparison i was intrested to see diffrences bettwen s23/s24 and i finnaly see that s24 is better. Thank you great job even if its comparison of 3 phones i still see more than in other s23/34 comparisons:)
Thank you. I was originally just doing S23 and S24, but with more people holding onto their phones longer, I thought it would be helpful to have the S21.
@@jeffreytu yeah, definitely someone could think about changing from s21 too. I'm glad yt recommend me that channel, naturally, I hit the subscribe button🙃 Are you planning to do a comparison with S23FE?

Keep in mind that the exynos and snapdragpn versions of the s24 have some varying levels of quality in regards to the pictures. So much in fact that the snapdragon s23 often performa BETTER than the exynos s24@@frestylefootbal8831
Can you mention which version is the S24 tested in the video? i mean the Snapdragon or the Exynos one because multiple resources says that the image processing varies between these two
Nice video, but your comments are wrong. You mismatched the cameras for S21. The base camera is 12 Mpix (not 64). 64 Mpix is telephoto, but digital zoom is just 1,1 (not 3x). 3x zoom shots are digitally cropped from that high-density photos (similar to S24 Ultra 10x zoom).
Please suggest should i get s23 or s23 ultra... I usually don't play games that much but i do watch movies and scroll shorts too much ... So i want a good phone which will last long like 4 years and also with good battery backup...
There is literally no reason to upgrade from the S21. It even has some better stats (dpi on the display, resolution of tele camera, etc.) almost no downsides. It even has the newest Android and will get Android 15, too!! The Galaxy S21 will still be perfectly fine even in 2025.
I had S22+ and S23U. S22+ was a kind of OK, not bad but I did not expect too much from it. But S23U was a big let down. I like taking pictures of nature in it was totally unusable in Auto mode. Too much HDR and especially too much sharpening, the pictures (foliage, grass...) did not look natural at all. But Pro mode was much better. The pictures in Pro looked very natural the only issue was too small dynamic range, blue sky often deteriorated to white because the dynamic range was lacking. Now I am thinking about buying S24. I like that they reduced the artificial sharpening, which is what totally killed S23U for me. It could finally work...
What happens after software updates period gets over...does the smartphone any good? S23 only have 3 years.. What if someone goes it with for another couple years
You mean another 3 years probably. Its more like 3,5 years cuz it has 3 more mayjor updates left and besides that it will get one addional year of security patches.
@@serrael-182 I mean 2027 will be 3 year's after that there is one year of Software update..so if I have to plan it for till 2029 say...then what will be effect of no update available for 1 year any security breach or others
Still rocking my S21 too. It's working great but I'm still getting that itch to upgrade. I'm going to take a look at the new Pixel 9s when they get released in August just for fun...
I realized that it's not worth changing my phone every three years, so I change my phone every four years and can feel the real technological advancement much better in my hands.
Hello can you give me your opinion, because Ive read so many opinions on the Internet that S23 camera is bad in many "normal" conditions ie. daytime, nature pictures. People tend to say they are blurry and overprocessed. Red things look like a bloat of pixels. Is that true? Whats your experience? Would you recommend its camera? I would be thankful for your insight. Regards and thank you for the video.
@@yashsamdariya7862 S24 lacks the level of details. Also post processing which you can't remove entirely kills me. This post processing gives very strange colors to a photo in the gallery. Basically you take a shot, everything looks cool on the screen but 3 secs later and post processing ruins your photo. I own S21U and it takes much better photos. My father owns S23+ and it takes much better photos on par with Iphone. So I have decided to upgrade to S24 because everybody says that the camera has not changed. Well, camera in S24 is worse than that of galaxy A series. It is something on the software side. I do not recommend you S24 if photos are important to you.
@@ne_alexa It's just related to AI post-processing, this happens on all s24 lines including ultra, this is clearly a software problem, I can't understand why they let AI and post-editing software multiple shots at the same time and the intensity of doing so was much higher than necessary
well I though it's going to be a much more of a difference between the cameras! As a user of s21 the only one thing what's drives me crazy in this phone is very very VERY poor battery life. I'm afraid I'll change to s24's and I end up with poor battery again! ;p
Most of the time, the S21 and S24 exceeded expectations, while the S23 appeared to perform lower. After this AI business, the photos got less beautiful.

Thank you! The base models are really overlooked most of the time.
oh my god finally, this is the only video ive seen that compares the s24 with low light video, thanks man!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful.
S21 doesn't use the 64mp for the main pics, it uses 12mp lens. 64mp is the 1,1x optical zoom, 3x hybrid zoom
El zoom desde 1.1x en adelante es digital, solo que a partir del 2.0x recorta con el sensor de mayor resolución
Exactly, while i think the hybrid zoom sucks. My old 2019 Huawei P30 with an optical 3x zoom was way sharper.
Maybe but the S24 doesnt even have a 64mp camera, the telezoom lens in the s24 is worse.

Looking like the S24 does a great job with overall picture balance most of the time, looks like they've found a winning formula with it.
Agree man. I'm shocked at the result myself. 2024 is the year Samsung starts getting good.
Nice comparisons man, keep it up 👍
love that you just show it all the time, not speaking in between and showing yourself etc
Ngl i kinda like the s21 more especially with the night shots s21 has much cleaner shadows and punchy contrast

For me
For photo 23>24>21

S23 is still the best camera phone from Samsung
No it's not, the video is so digitized, video is just as important in camera you know

Excelente review, thank you so much
Excellent comparisons.
I liked the Vibrancy of S21
What processor does the S24 have? Snapdragon?
"Unbelievable camera upgrade! Galaxy S24 outshines S23 and S21 with unparalleled clarity and vibrancy in low-light conditions."
Good idea to compare the base models.
still: absolutely no reason to drop the old s21!
Is it worth upgrading from s22u to s24u? in terms of camera and battery life
Hallo
Snapdragon or Exynos?
Different ISPs

S23 won't last a day after 3 yrs... Obvious choice is plus or ultra
Never buy Samsung phones for a longer time usage as it will easily face green line after 1/2 year

Can s21 shoot 60fps from ultrawide ??
yes
Can confirm this.
