      Cheap and expensive are relative to value.
      This video is comparing the value of X to half of its original value, thus illustrating the relativity between expensive and cheap.

    I was willing to pull out another $400 more for the S series but then Samsung had to go out of their way to try to get even more money from us by removing the SD card slot and expect us to pay more for online storage. So, I went with the A55 and save about $400. Thanks Samsung. Excellent business decision.

    • @nikhilpaleti3872
      @nikhilpaleti3872 Před 22 hodinami

      No offense, but I would just call it foolishness on your part.
      The reason they removed the SD is pretty much because of performance. You know, even the fastest, best SD Cards in the market are half-duplex connections, which means worse than even the full-duplex UFS 2.0 storage from ~8 Years ago. And if anyone uses an SD card for anything, it is going to make the phone absolutely lag like CRAZY.
      Remember, switching point of PCs being smooth was the phase when they adopted SSDs, not the i9s, not the RTX 3090s.
      If they gave SD Card Support on an S24, good luck seeing them lag in a week because no one can afford the best SD Card anyway, so it'll be bottom of the barrel crap that will make the S24 lag like a 100$ phone.
      You just decided to get a 10x worse phone for not much money saved, because you decided backing up photos to a laptop is too much hassle.

    • @lwoklidfr
      @lwoklidfr Před 21 hodinou +1

      @nikhilpaleti3872 lol, you will only experience that lag that you are talking about if you put all your app in your SD card, but in case you didn't know all system apps and apps you insalled all goes to your phone storage by default and some of them can't be moved like the old android in the past, so that slowing thing that you are talking about won't happen because andoid OS and apps don't go to your external storage but in your internal storage, the main purpose of SD card these days is for expansion of your phone storage where you put images, music, videos and other files and that's why it won't affect your phone performance even if you had a micro sd there, its like putting a SSD or nvme in your computer where you put the OS to make your computer run smoothly while you put all your files in HDD for large storage and longevity of the drive.
      srsly where did you even get that idea that it will slow your phone if you put a expandable storage in a phone?😂 did you get it from Apple? samsung removed micro SD in the flagship phones because Samsung also wants to sell their cloud storage like what Apple been doing, remember tech companies only remove things like micro sd storage, charging brick and earphones(out of the box) from phones that being released these days because they want to increase their profits not because it will slow your phone or to help the environment.

      Yeah, as someone who went from an A53 ( I was ready to chuck this phone because it stuttered all the time) and upgraded to the S24 NA version with Snapdragon 3 and WOW.... what a difference!

    • @masonbanks4189
      @masonbanks4189 Před měsícem

      @regardzz In my experience the biggest difference is much quicker speed and no stutters/crashes or lags. SD 8 Gen 3 chip is about the best on the market night now and IMO its worth the extra money for the phone. You'll also notice although A54 has the bigger battery (5000 mah) the S24 will still last just as long if not longer due to having the better optimized and far superior chipset plus the LTPO display can adaptively drop refresh rate down to 1hz compared to 60 on the A54. If you have the money I'd definitely go for it. Nothing at all wrong with the A54, S24 is just better in every way.

    This is interesting because I just bought my husband the S21+ (referbished-like-new) after getting a new A54 5G a few months ago. I spent about $150 on both, after sales, fees, etc. etc. I think they are a much fairer comparison, both in price, and in stats. (Not to mention the huge difference in size between your phones. My phones are within 3", barely noticeable side-by-side. The S21+ is a bit taller and very slim.) Hope this helps budget-minded people who have different use-cases.
    The main differences in the A54 and the S21+ are:
    -The A54 is newer, but the S21+ gets 2 or 3 more years of OS updates. It's a toss up.
    -The camera on the S21+ has much better low-light handeling. Otherwise not a huge difference.
    -The S21+ has a snappier, but older CPU, and a boosted GPU, allowing room for gaming if you need it. But no noticable difference otherwise. (I never have to reboot the A54, or experience slowness. I run a lot more apps than he does too.)
    -The A54 has better battery life. I get 1 - 1.5 days more than my husband from a charge.
    -The S21+ has wireless charging, and also Superfast charging. He can go from 0-50% in 20 mintues on my 5A charger laptop charger, over USB-C PD 3.0. But he never uses Super-fast mode because it ages the battery.
    -The A54 has an external SD card slot. (They're both the same size internal disks, 128GB.) This is important to me.
    -The S21+ has 2 more GB of RAM (8GB vs 6GB). Again, only needed for gaming and crazy-amounts of multitasking.
    -The S21+ has a 120hz screen -- Nice to have but not necessary. My screen looks great.
    -Admittedly, the S21+ has MUCH better external speakers. Oh well. I'll get headphones.
    -The S21+ has moderate water resistance. (This is what made me decide to get it for him. He's a welder, and very hard on phones.)
    -My husband is impressed with the S21+ instantanious facial recognition, due to low-light sensors, and a better GPU/CPU.
    -The A54 gets a much better 5G signal inside our house (T-mobile). However, he just texted me from an airplane at 30,000 feet (Verizon.) (So fast 5G vs. extremely long-range 4G/5G signal.)

    To all the people wondering about how much CPU speed actuall matters:
    A normal person can baerly make use of all the extra performance that a high end chip can offer.
    The baseline of a mostly smooth user experience was drawn with Qualcoms Snapdragon 801 back in 2014.
    This one was fast a.f. back on android KitKat.
    In 2018 I got a phone with a Snapdragon 660. This midrange chip has the exact same feel as the 801.
    Extrapolating a bit into the future, a Snapdragon 7 gen 1 will already give you the best noticable userexperience.
    All those computationally demanding processes occur only 0.1% of the time.
    What matters to 99,9% is the general smoothness of the user experience . And objectively you get all of that with a midrange chip.
    I have been using the SD660 for over 6 years now and bow it is starting to feel slow, but I must confess that my life would not be radically different if I tradet this slightly slower phone for a faster one.
    Smartphones peaked somewhere around 2019.

    I have the expensive model (the previous model, S23) and it has several annoying issues. When I'm using Facebook, and I click on notifications, it's always skipping back to the previous screen. But more importantly, on Google Calendar, when I'm creating an event, it's constantly making the cursor jump to the bottom of the screen, making it incredibly difficult to write in details, and it regularly will not look up the phonebook to find the email address of the person I want to invite the event. These two calendar issues are a massive issue for me, because this is how I organise all jobs for my contractors and for years with every other phone, I never had either of these issues. It's a total nightmare of a phone for me, considering I got this phone as a work phone and I should be able to work from it when I'm away from my computer, but it is really difficult to so so. I would not recommend this phone, at all.

Great for kids and GenZ, for those that never do a day's work. Be more practical, think about real-world usage.

    here in Brazil we have the s24 with exynos too.. So I preferred to get the S23 with SD 8 gen 2 for galaxy because sometimes I like to play some games, including emulators in general. I had a S20 with exynos 990 and for common use it was amazing, but for games it was not so good, especially for emulators. Other point is the battery with exynos generally is less efficient.

  • @svend.7324
    @svend.7324 Před měsícem +6

    When it comes to value for money, people should think carefully about what is important to them and what they actually use on a daily basis.
    Because for most people it won't matter in everyday life whether USB 3.x including Dex or USB 2.0. I have both an S20 model and the A54. And I actually hardly ever use Dex.
    And it is completely irrelevant whether an app opens a little faster or not, because once the applications are open, there are no major differences. We're talking about fractions of a second here.
    In addition, longer videos in 4K60 or 8K are real memory hogs. 256GB fills up very quickly - and having a memory card is not only safer, it also saves time because you don't have to constantly swap out the files.
    The A55 is completely sufficient for most games, not everyone plays Genshin Impact for hours.
    And the workmanship is visibly almost indistinguishable. In this respect, I now consider the S models to be overpriced, because the A55's competitor is the S24+. And that costs almost 3x as much - for around 15% more use in everyday life.
    For anyone who wants to surf, stream, take snapshots and occasionally play games, the A55 is the much better choice - and the money you save can be sensibly invested elsewhere.

    Data transfer is faster and easier if you use QuickShare for A55 since its port is limited to USB 2.0
    Even if you want to transfer via WiFi (QuickShare), it will be limited by MicroSD speed via overhead and so on. Since WiFi 6, at ideal real time, has 1.2 Gbps, at best it will be a bit slower.
    In short, A55 is 80% of S24 features.
    You will feel the main differentiation is camera and Ai features.
    If you only use your phone as mean of communication and entertainment, A55 is enough.
    Oh, just remember than S24 has 7 major android support while A55 has 4 major android support.
    So, in a long run, S24 might be better for 2nd hand market

Let's compaire the a55 and s20(4yo flagship) you get simmilar build quality,battery,display is arguably better on the s20,you get better cameras(and you also have that sweet telephoto instade of the macro on the a55),wireless and reverse wireless charging while the only advantage of the a55 is like a 1000 points increese in cpu power in geekbench 6 and the phone is still supported(tho the s20 got only 3 years of updates while the s24 will get 7 so that evens out)).
    So why not just get the better phone,sacrifice some more moneys mow and save later

      Comes down to way better battery and updates. Also a55 will have better cameras than s20. A55 has ufs 3.1 and good chip now. It can easily last as much as s24.

      @bogdan_130. Not really. Phones dont slow down much after many years these days even if its midrange. A55's 1480 and ufs 3.1 storage will easily last 4 years. Battery will degrade way faster than performance. S24 isnt worth that high price.

      @@frankreynolds9930 idk what to say about performance. I still keep my a52s around as a 2nd phone but i had to upgrade after like 2 years and a bit to my s23 bcs performance was pretty bad and animations were vhoppy at times and it was just a decent to bad experience. Mind you: the a52s is as powerfull as the a54(my mom haves it and even that one doesn't rly feel smooth) and the a55 is about 20% faster while the s24 is around twice as powerfull cpu wise and soo much better gpu and npu

      @bogdan_130. If you buy flagship, ofcourse you would get that kind of performance. But for most users, a55 is more than enough. Its not worth double the price.
      Even a55 main camera is similar to base flagship since samsung hasnt improved base flagship sensor since many years.
      A54 was laggy phone since beginning and only has ufs 2.2
      a52s has ufs 2.1 storage and storage matters alot in daily activities.
      A55 is finally a capable midrange which is good choice after discounts.
