The most compact of Samsung’s premium smartphones, the Galaxy S24 is an attractive smartphone in many aspects. We appreciate the quality of its screen and its overall performance which does not suffer from the return to Exynos SoCs. Apart from this change, the S24 does not really evolve at the hardware level, particularly in terms of photography. It might be time for the manufacturer to evolve its imaging platform which has been stagnant since S22.
Without being catastrophic, the autonomy of the S24 is not extraordinary. It is even behind that of the S23, although equipped with a less powerful battery. The main culprit is the return to the Exynos architecture, abandoned last year on the S23, and which has never really shone with its energy sobriety.
Fortunately, the software part is evolving… and not just a little. If OneU+I 6.1 remains as intuitive as ever, we especially note the appearance of Galaxy AI, the artificial intelligence concocted by Samsung. If it is not yet perfect, it has the merit of opening the way to new uses. Other good news is that the supply of major versions of the OS and security patches is now guaranteed for seven years. We can only congratulate Samsung, which did not take the opportunity to increase its prices (already high, it is true).
