    The thing that no one talks about when mentioning the shutter lag on samsung vs iphone, is that iphone actually has a sneaky little feature in settings that drops the image quality when hitting the shutter button quickly. When this is disabled, even the iphone's shutter is slower.

      You can tell he rushed to upgrade it as he didn't do his research. The screen isn't "almost flat" it is flat and the Titaniam is actually lighter than before because they use less off it than the previous metal that was used. Because the titaniam is stronger so they don't have to make it as thick.

    If retail price will be the same or higher (I assume higher) than top tier Vivo, Oppo or Xiaomi then i don't think Samsung stands a chance this year. The other companies introduce big camera improvements, brighter screens (funny because those screens are made by Samsung lmao), while Samsung lowers optical zoom in one sensor to increase low light capability, adds gimmicky AI, improves software a little bit and that's basically it. Imho, it'll be a sales fiasco in comparison to S22/S23 Ultra. But that depends what Vivo X100 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 bring to the table, we theoretically know everything by now, but nothing official. But seeing Oppo X7 Ultra and Vivo X100 cameras, we can expect nothing but photo beasts.

      A lot of the negative people I've seen complaining about how little of an upgrade it is are S23U owners, which okay, fair enough, going from *your* phone to this one isn't that big of a deal, but in my experience, upgrading to next year's model usually never is in general, Samsung phone or not; I've noticed a pattern that the model two years after your current one is the one to upgrade to at a minimum as things have usually changed just enough from your own model that it feels new to you.
      So for me, who has the S22U, going to the S24U would definitely feel like more of a an upgrade.

    do you think the 1tb version is to much for the phone or is 256gb enough in your opinion?

      I can't go back to flat screens since I had my first curved screen many years ago. I don't understand people who hate it.

      @@ANiceGuy00 I agree it looks cool and feels nice, but I'd rather have a flat screen due to durability and how difficult it is to find a good screen protector for a curved screen.

      That's literally one of the main reasons why I went from s21 ultra to S23 plus.
      Flat displays are so much better!

      @keonxd8918 that's what people said about the 22 to the 23 but the 23 is incomprehensibly better than the 22
