Thinking about getting the S24… is it still worth it now?

General

I regret buying the S24. The Samsung Care support was bad, and the camera didn’t meet my expectations.

22

I have the Snapdragon S24, and the battery life is disappointing—only about 4 hours of screen-on time. I wish I’d gone for a phone with a bigger battery or waited for the S25, which might also have a larger battery and possibly better chips. My budget was tight, so I regret rushing the purchase.

Just wait for the S25.

Why not just get an iPhone?

Why are you even here if you’re pushing iPhones?

I can’t stand Apple. I’ll stick with Samsung.

I bought multiple iPhones recently, and only one worked properly. Meanwhile, all the Samsung phones I got worked without issues.

Go for the S25.

If you can hold off or find a great deal, wait. The S25 could be better, but we won’t know until it’s out. Personally, the S24 wasn’t enough of an upgrade, so I stayed with my S23 Ultra.

The S25 will have the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which has a new architecture. It’s better for performance, battery, and AI. Definitely worth considering over the S24.

Even with those upgrades, most users might not notice a big difference. It depends on your needs.

Fair point. AI features are getting more useful, though, like live translation during calls or smarter notifications. It’s not just a gimmick anymore.

How is it repetitive? I’m just asking about the differences in the chips.

There are a ton of posts on this already. If you’re just using the phone for browsing and basic stuff, the Exynos is fine.

@Drue
I’m asking because I’ve read that Exynos slows down over time. I wanted to get updated opinions since most reviews were made when the phone first came out.

My S24 is still as fast as when I bought it. The Exynos of today isn’t the same as it was 10 years ago.
