Hey guys,
I’m looking for some advice. I currently have the S23 for both personal and work use. I really like it, especially because it has the Snapdragon processor. The thing is, I’m considering switching to the S24 Plus because it has a bigger battery and more RAM. But my main concern is the Exynos processor… is it really that bad? The S24 Plus is on a good discount now.
My S23 battery isn’t holding up as well anymore. Should I stick with it and wait for the S25 series instead?
If you don’t urgently need to upgrade, the S25 Plus is rumored to have Snapdragon.

Is the S25 base also rumored to come with Snapdragon? I’m looking into the S24 Exynos 256GB, but my issue is that it can’t switch cameras while recording 4K 60fps video.

I heard it’s being dropped in the flagships.

Yeah, the S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra have it, but I wonder if the S25 base will have it too.

No, I think it’s being dropped in all models… but that’s just a rumor I think.
@Leith
So maybe it’s better to wait for the S25 if it will have 4K 60fps lens switching. Any rumors about it having only Snapdragon globally? And do you have any idea about the S25 price?

I don’t know the price offhand, sorry… but there are plenty of leaks on YouTube with the info you’re looking for.
@Leith
I’ll check it out. Thanks for your help!

No problem!
Samsung has been saying for two years now that they’ll replace the broken 8K TV that their own installers said was broken since day one. I’ve had so many tech support calls, and they always say they’ll fix it but never do.
Just read Consumer Reports. Every Samsung product is rated 1 or 2 out of 5 for reliability across all their categories.
Don’t buy their stuff.
Wait for the S25, hands down.
The Exynos is fine if you have good reception. Of course, both phones will drain faster with bad reception, but the Exynos drains a bit more. Otherwise, it’s pretty much the same except for image processing. My S24+ is fine even in 40°C heat (I’m in Sydney, so I don’t lose 5G).

Reception sucks… that’s my only issue with my S24+ Exynos.

The lowest I get is 5G with 2 bars in suburban Sydney and the CBD, so I’m happy with it.
Yep, they’re awesome.
The S24 Ultra is priced the same as the S24+.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. The Ultra is just too big for me though.
The speaker quality is pretty bad, just so you know. I have the S24+.
I have the S24+, no complaints at all. I came from the S22 Ultra, and the only reason I upgraded was a cracked screen. I would have gone for the S24 Ultra, but after using the S22 Ultra for a while, I realized I never used the pen, and 0.1" more screen didn’t seem worth hundreds to me.
The S24+ is a great phone, tough and fast.
