Samsung Galaxy S24 5G AI Smartphone (Onyx Black, 8GB, 128GB Storage)

An amazing compact phone – The Exynos2400 is very good with no issues as with the previous chipsets.
I have been using this phone for a month now and the Samsung Galaxy S24 is a very good phone. If you are someone who is looking to buy a phone in this price range then you probably have the Iphone 15, Pixel 8 series as an alternative option but I would say the Samsung phone experience is the best of the three unless you are into the Apple ecosystem or you want to buy and IPhone cuz it’s an IPhone (It’s just crazy that many people make decisions like that 😂).Jokes apart, I would say at this price this is probably the best phone in terms of the display, software experience and overall features. The performance is also very good, there are many people who are skeptical about the Exynos chips which is obviously unfair from Samsung to have two versions of the same phone but at least this time the chip is very good and almost as powerful as the SD 8 Gen 3. Yes it is 10-15% less powerful in the CPU department from benchmarks but honestly theses flagship chipsets are so powerful that 90% of the people are not even going to notice the slight difference. I tried playing COD on this phone at max possible settings for 1 hour and the phone was hot but not any more hot than any other phone would get. Yes it did drop the battery which I will get to later but I don’t think raw performance is an issue with the Exynos chips this time as the Exynos chips is actually more powerful that the SD 8 Gen 3 in the GPU department. Now coming to the battery this is the only place I am a little disappointed with this phone like if you are a light user who only uses their phone for calls, messages, music on bluetooth you can make the phone work for an entire day but if you are a medium or a heavy user like if you play games, take pictures, videos etc you will definetly drain the battery before the end of the day. In my experience I am a fairly heavy user using bluetooth, mobile hotspot, playing a few light games I always need to charge the phone at around 5 pm. But this is a sacrifice you have to make if you are getting a small phone, now if you are thinking that the IPhone 15 is also a small phone but it has better battery life then that is because the IPhone 15 only has a 60hz display which isen’t as smooth the 120hz on all the phones these days and also does not consume a lot of battery like a 120hz display would. I am not that big of a camera bluff so I won’t talk about it just want to say that it is a good camera with sharp pictures with good looking colors and camera features (Checkout the images attached). The video is also very good.Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S24 emerges as an impressive smartphone, overshadowing debates about Exynos chip performance differences. Its overall performance, combined with its compact size, makes it a compelling choice for users seeking a premium smartphone experience.

Great Display & Performance, But Battery Life Needs Work
The Samsung Galaxy S24 is a solid smartphone with a lot to offer, but there are a few areas where it falls short. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:Battery: The battery life on the S24 is decent, but not great. You can expect to get through ~5 hours on a single charge with moderate use, but standby time is poor. This means the battery drains even when you’re not using the phone.Camera: The camera system on the S24 is good, but not exceptional. It takes good photos in most lighting conditions, but it doesn’t quite match up to the best camera phones on the market.Display: The display on the S24 is excellent. It’s bright, clear, and has a high refresh rate for smooth scrolling.Heat Management: The S24 tends to heat up more than expected, even during basic tasks like browsing the web. This becomes a bigger issue when using the camera, where it can get quite hot even after short recording sessions or charging your phone.OS: The S24 comes with Android 14 with lot of improvement, but expecting to receive an update to Android 15 at the earliest (Even Nothing 2a has received it)Other Considerations:Design: The S24 has a sleek and stylish design that’s comfortable to hold.Performance: The S24 is a powerful phone that can handle even the most demanding tasks (not gaming)Software: Samsung’s One UI software offers a variety of features and customization options.Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S24 is a good phone with a lot to offer, but the battery life and heat management issues hold it back from being great. If you’re looking for a phone with a great camera and excellent display, the S24 is a good option. However, if battery life and heat management are important to you, you may want to consider another phone.

Better thn Iphone
1 week usage: All the things are goood except battery.Battery is ok ok. Great for light or mid users.Heavy users will suffer battery problem.Cameras are great. Similar as iphone

Really good to use

This is an original phone. But it’s the china variant. You will see quite a lot of notifications in chinese randomly.Plus, the biggest let-down is that it does not have eSim option. I kept wondering what the catch was for such low price, and found it during my travel.
