Samsung S24 series

PTH2009

Details have been leaked for the S24 Series

Going to upgrade from the S21 Ultra but not looking forward to the price. Will definitely pay it monthly. As much as I'd love it I won't be able for the 1TB version but what's the best 'storage subscription (One Drive, Google one etc) to get ?

Seems to be diminishing improvements over previous models now with these high end phones.

Hard to come up with any new technology breakthroughs.

Think there trying to market some AI ballax for this model

Barr

If the above is correct , Samsung are bringing back their own chips for the S24 and S24+

Not sure if that will be a great selling point based on their past models

Barr

I got an email from Samsung today about a Galaxy unpacked event on the 17th Jan - I wonder is this to do with the S24

100% is

Barr

I thought it used to happen later , maybe Feb/March

It will be interesting to see if the S24 is worth the upgrade

I'd expect pre orders to start from 18th Jan, maybe releasing 1st Feb or around then

Any word on if this will be the first flagship to come with the Qi2 standard? (Android's version of MagSafe).

Wishlist for the new series is better battery life. Couldn't give a fiddlers about AI

Found the S21 Ultra battery life to be very hit and miss

Good to hear

Would you get the whole day without a recharge ?

You would. As with anything it depends on use. E.g today I had a few calls, hand full of WhatsApps and a few minutes here and there of reading odd new article. 2 hours of a podcast Came home and battery was 78 percent at 7pm. Last charged at 7.50am this morning.

I'm still on the S22 Ultra, first time skipping a release in years, nothing in this is making me thing I must get it, think I'll skip again this year.

Battery life alone is worth the upgrade on the S22. I came from the S22U to 23 night and day.

Barr

I'm hoping they get rid of the curved screen on the Ultra , it would make it far more tempting

They are.

Barr

Thats great , I always found it a pain

What do ye think the trade in value for S21 Ultra 512GB will be ?

I'm still on an S20 Ultra and it's still a great phone but battery life is pretty poor and just last week the camera glass shattered out of nowhere. Googled it and it seemingly was a known issue on the S20U, mine shattered in exactly the same place as the image in the article I read. Small hole over the wide angle lens and spiderweb cracks going out from that. Think I might finally go for the upgrade!

Barr

I'm looking forward to see whats unveiled tomorrow . Hopefully the trade in / bundles will be good this year .

Barr

It was buds the last time I done the pre-order . Would prefer a watch this time round . I have enough buds at this stage

Only got the Watch6 classic last summer so will prefer the buds myself

Saying it could be the storage upgrade again

Guess we'll find out tomorrow

Just finished my s21u contract last month this isn't debating whether to wait to see what this is like,not many phone options theses days

listermint

Anyone get anything whatsoever back for registering interest on that January 4th email?

I responded to that mail but got zero back. Spam included.

Barr

I'm the same . I registered on the 4th Jan and nothing since

The s23 is the best battery i've ever had on a Smartphone- whatever they do hopefully that doesn't change.
