- After days of testing Samsung's Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus by playing games; texting and calling in multiple languages; taking photos; recording videos; and trying out all that Galaxy AI has to offer, here's my review. Samsung didn't reinvent the phone but tried to take two great phones and make them better.

#samsung #samsunggalaxy #galaxys24 - Наука та технологія
Went from a old school S10 plus to the onyx black S24 plus and been loving it since... and plan to keep it for many years.. not one to have to keep getting a new phone every year..
It's gray, not black. It's only black when light doesn't hit it.
@@Rizz-vs5ssyeah yeah tell that to samsung, they named it like that lmao
Same here too yet my S10plus has been my favorite phone yet! Waiting on S24 plus to arrive.
Que tal la batería
Coming from the smaller Note 10 and yeah it's been a good upgrade so far, especially battery life.
Watching CNET's cool review of the S24 and S24 Plus.
Plus, it's nice to know that some sample acts being done on the latest non-Ultra Samsung top-tier smartphones are included, too!
S24 regular. At 100% 6.15am. Regular light use during the day. Now 6pm and at 78%. Never had a phone with battery sipping like this...
What's ur sot on how much % battery used?
11.50pm, 55% left. Reporting 8hrs 23mins screen on time...
What does your “regular light use” entail ?
Exynos or snapdragon?
UK, so Exynos...
I really do enjoy my S24 Plus and the battery life has been excellent. I use both the 24 Plus and the Pixel 8 Pro, I work the late morning shift and both phones are fully charged. By the early evening the 24 Plus is at 64% battery life and the 8 Pro is at 46%. Great video thanks!
Why 2 phones?
On wifi or mobile data?
Exynos or snapdragon do you use
Do you have the snapdragon or exynos version😊
Been using Samsung for more than a decade. They're all long term phones where each one has lasted me 5 or more years *without* changing my batteries (a testament to how well Samsung phones are made) . I started with an S4, then an A9 and just switched to the S24 Plus a couple of days ago.
Great review! How as the audio when listening to music or a podcast? Call quality? People say the speakerphone sucks, is this true?
S24+ Just got it tuesday and totally loving it 😊
Plz comment on Battery life on mobile data?
Hi @@syedtayyab5142 It's not bad actually. I had Galaxu A31 and of course that phone last longer because I was always using it on power saving mode. For S24+ I don't turn on power saving mode and it lasts all day long without a problem. The thing is I realised Instagram using way too much from battery. 1 hour on Instagram and batter down by %12. 1 hour on Netflix and down by only %5.
Other than that I think phone is great.
Is the AI of the S24 plus the same as the ultra
yes,@@red_larva_the_original
I was on the fence on whether I should get the new S24Ultra. With the life of the battery that would probably be the only reason to upgrade. I vlog a lot on my phone so the video component is a must. Thanks for a Great Review!!!
Awesome content and video comprision as always bro
These two seem very solid. Love the scene with SF2 in the background!
Fold5, started my day with 85%, currently down to 72% with mixed use of inner/outer display.
Great Video I just got my s24 ultra last Monday, loving it so far, switched from apple had in iphone 12 pro, I like to change every few years lol. Oh Battery, So i started around 8am at 99 percent and ended the day at 12am at 34 percent, not too bad id say.
Ive been holding off on upgrading to a new phone since my note 20 was working perfectly for me for the longest time. The difference in refresh speed and the performance of my s24 makes it far preferable to use and so far the battery is doing fairly better. Im glad that I took the plunge, this phone is far nicer and lighter-weight overall.
4:26 awesome (sarcasm) translation! “If you are not the arcade” because English has no difference in the verb “to be” when someone or something is permanently and always is or just is temporarily or at, while português has “ser” and “estar
One you activate Google assistant, there's a button says "search screen" which literally works the same as Circle to search
Where can I find the wallpaper being used on S24 and S24 plus in this video? Thanks.
Great video. Going from an S9+ to the S24+. A definite upgrade. Batt @ 37%
User of a s24+, simply 9_10hr sot on fhd+ adaptive refresh and dual sim .. its super satisfied ❤
Snapdragon?
@@bprabawabr exynos
Mine is also dual sim. I bought the HK variant. Dual sim and snapdragon 3
@@koi8670 hws the sot? Only cons the camera section need improvement 😞
so QHD not worth it?
43%, Xperia 1 III at 4pm. I'm not streaming videos at work. Which is reminds me, I should probably plug it in.
Thanks for reviewing these models, I like the ultra but always go for the smaller versions. They're more pocketable and don't hurt my wallet as much. The AI camera features are pretty cool. Battery on my S23 is at 81%. I just finished charging it and use the limit the charge to 85% feature. With that I get about a day and a half of use.
Had an issue with the smart switch for the S24 plus all of my pics and vids are all doubled after transfer from s20fe with sd card. Did it 2x still the same after factory settings. Tried cable then it worked but not all apps and files are transfered... so did the rest manually. After that everything is really good. Battery and camera is empressive also the AI is pretty good. Starting to like it better than the S20fe. Just the lack of memorycard is annoying. I got it for $800 to trade for s20fe. Oh yeah around 30% left battery at 930pm... not 120hz just standard and default resolution.
S24 Ultra Light Green 1TB connected to My delivery van through Bluetooth. Connected to my Watch 6 Classic at the same time. Battery lasts about 12 hours but I am playing UA-cam or listening to audio books the whole time. I LOVE IT🎉
3:32 My best AI feature on Samsung is Remaster. That feature can be quite handy when you take pictures in some bad scenes.
Best review for sure !
Thanks and i will buy this S24 Plus soon.
Currently using the Galaxy S23 Plus 512GB

Thanks for filming with us! Our games look fantastic even with that camera 😊
High Scores is an awesome arcade! 👾👾👾👾👾
I got the S24 2 months ago as a replacement for my huawei p30. I usually get around 7+ hours of sot with 20% - 25% battery left at the end of the day.
Digging the t-shirt and the phone 👍🏼
Fold 3 : 76% at 2pm
Interesting video. However, I own an S24+ and found the battery is not up to heavy usage. I use the phone as an Uber driver. When driving I will have three apps running: Uber, Waze’s and SiriusXM. Several times the battery drained from about 80% to 0%. I have the phone plugged into my car data USB port for connectivity and charging, however, sometimes the phone shows slow charging. Still even at slow charging I don’t think the phone should drain as it does. Een when not in use the battery drains quicker than in the video. By the video the battery should last even when not charging. Haven’t tried the camera yet, but I plan to use the phone camera along with a Sony A6600 to compare the quality of the phone camera. I also want to try to use the AI Translator. At this time I will give the S24+ four stars because of the battery.👍
I feel like with android phones now having longer software support, I think it's now time for companies to lengthen the warranty on these to 2-3 more years
Love the video great reviewer ❤ for 4000 mah its good i have snapdragon version i love it
Best video resolution settings for recording video on the S24 Plus?!!!?
Still Rockin' my 1TB S10 Plus. Got my eyes on the S24 for it's size and feel. maybe get one next month, wait for sale from samsung
96% on my Samsung Galaxy S24 SM-S921U. I've owned the Samsung Galaxy S series in order.... S2, S4, S7 Edge, S9+, S10+ and most recently my S21 Ultra... I shattered the screen on the that last phone about a year ago & have been using budget entry level phones for about a year, until 3 days ago when I went out & picked up a S24 128GB, 8GB. Now I am right at home with all the flagship features I've missed. I would have loved to get my hand on the S24 Ultra but that was not on promotion so was out of budget. I am grateful though.
A rare android video, I'm all for it 🙌 That being said, my base s24 is getting 7 hours sot consistently on cellular data. 92%
Very accurate for me as well. Incredible battery life.
@@TheQuatum I'm going to try and test Wi-Fi this weekend to see if it gets even better battery life.
Superb review!!!!!
I misread the title and was so confused “What does the S24 series have to do with Al Gore? Does he review tech for CNET now?”
😂😂😂😂 Same
Day 3 of my S24+ with the Exynos 2400 and with usage so far (~3.5hr SOT) it's telling me at 90% battery will last me 21.5hrs. Still have my doubts on Exynos but let's see how the battery goes after it learns my usage patterns.
on wifi it's ok, on 4G/5G it's just bad compared to the snapdragon, even against last years gen 2.
Good positive review. Love the bigger battery.
57% on my galaxy s21 ultra, I have been up since 5:30 am, and was using my phone the whole time. It's 9 am now. Also, I didnt charge it last night.
Great information 👍
S24+ here, ordered from Samsung directly. I get about 6.5h SoT. It's... fine. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong lol
I just bought this phone and so I watched your video it was a great video really good job reviewing this phone so thank you very much it's 6:00 pm and my battery is at 93% LOL I took it off the charger at 9:00 a.m.
How?? Did you like, not use your phone at all or watch any videos through the day? That sounds impossible and I have a Galaxy s24 plus as well lol
I love my samsung galaxy a52 5g phone and battery percentage is at 98% and I stream alot of UA-cam video and play games with this phone and listen 2 music all in one day and the battery life is really really good no laggs at all very fast responses with the Snapdragon Gen 8 and 2 processor ain't bad very good I like it
91% I just got the S24 plus today and I watched this to see what it has to offer.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about camera performance? Anyone have experiences they can share. Thanks
My iPhone 15 pro is at 20% and I’ve only been using it an hour today. I think something is wrong with my battery.
How much of the AI features are cloud based and how much AI features are locally based?
3:42 that Google search result was wrong, should be Lego 75375 instead of the much bigger Lego 75192...
56% but to keep in mind, that I'm still using my huawei mate 10 pro from 2017. It still lasts me just under a day on the same battery
60% at 6:20 am on the ultra ( I need the spen)
@CNET Right now I am at 35%, with 12h 30 minutes of battery usage - Galaxy Z Fold4.
I have 2 work profiles on a phone, a lot of encryption, corporate VPNs and stuff happening in background, screen time more than 7 hours a day and S24+ goes through a day and night without a problem. S22 ultra I had before was really struggling to survive the day after a year of use.
I have the S24 ULTRA IT'S 1:20 AM FEBRUARY 9. I'm currently on 30% what's 7 hours 40 minutes screen on time.
I just want to point out that the battery on these phones improve over time if you enable adaptive battery and follow a set schedule of sleep , work and app usage. Most reviewers don't spend enough time on these phones to reap any benefit from the adaptive battery. I've had this phone for over 3 weeks now and the battery has improved dramatically.
Started my day at 7:45 AM using a galaxy S23 ultra and now at 8:25 PM battery life is still at 76% it's a fantastic phone, I just don't see any reason to update yet, just hope that the next software update will include all of the amazing S24 futures
I will be buying my first OLED and I can't decide between Sony A80L, LG C3 and Samsung S92C. I will be using it mainly for gaming. The C3 and S90C are both around $1300 and the A80L is around $1700. What's the best one between these three?
LG C3, is a great balance for gaming and value , if you want to save some money, see if you can find a C1, brilliant display, wrong video to ask comment this question though xD. I also find that LGs WebOS is better than Samsungs, I'd get a TV box for either anyway though, xiaomi MI box for android or apple TV.
Just buy a vw golf r, its better then the golf gti😂
I have c1 best tv on the planet. I would go with c3
My OnePlus 10pro is at 34% at 11:30pm after charging it to 75% before work at 1pm. And I've had this phone for 2 years.
Left the iPhone 15 Pro after years of Android and came back to the S24 Plus -- so happy I switched. Miss the iPhone / Pixel quality cameras, but this phone is honestly the perfect winner of the S24 series. You get all the glory of the "big screen", MOST of the same camera system, and none of the uncomfortable boxiness and unnecessary SPen that comes with the Ultra. To each their own, but I really think this is the sweet spot.
What happened to the 4k video upload? Its been 1080p recently. Videos looks blurry on my 15 Pro Max and S24 Ultra. Yes, my eyes can see the crispiness
Yes. It feels pixelated on my S21 and LG OLED.
I'm so addicted to 4k that 1080 feels like 480.
I have an S23+ and AccuBattery says it lasts 12.5 hours screen-on time, which is pretty rad. It's a genuine 2-day battery phone.
I have the snapdragon s23+ and it definitely does not last 12 hours screen on time. My s24+ definitely gets more battery life.
My s23+ gives me 7-9 hours of screen on time
@adnanhasanmahmud5912 that sounds a lot more reasonable 😂
where did y’all get y’all phones from😂 my 512gb s23+ gets 5-6hrs until 0%
@s_playz3818 I got mine from Verizon, and I could definitely get about 7 hours SOT on my s23+ on the regular. If I pushed it, I would get 6. Some days, I got 8 hrs SOT with like 12 hrs total. My s24+ easily gets 8 and half hours SOT with like 14 to 15 hrs total, and that's with heavy usage and max settings. I can easily get 9 to 10 hrs out of the s24+.
Circle to search is basically just google lense on other android phones and it works just the same except for the circling part. You can swearch anything on your screen with google lens and select which part of the screen to search.
Pixels also have circle to search. And Samsung partnered with Google for AI. It's a Samsung phone with Pixel AI
This guy by far has the best reviews on this channel
Seems like a really nice and genuine guy too
I think it takes a few days for your phone to learn your patterns. Having said that my S24+ gave me 2 days straight out of the gate. The best battery life I've ever had of any phone. My OnePlus 12 is giving me 1.5 days. I've been using that a little less then 1 week.
Do you have exynos or snapdragon?
Currently on pixel 7 pro. Just bought a 24+ and will be trading in the 7pro. I'm kind of tired of lacking features and better hardware, though I've been a Google user since the galaxy Nexus. They used to be incredible, but now it's so vanilla and the performance and battery are so lackluster I'm switching to galaxy.
S24+ in Cobalt Violet 💜. Battery life 66% @9:08am. I haven't charged my phone in almost 6 hours. 🔋📱💪
Exynos or snap dragon ?
@@rabaromar4100 Snapdragon
I recognize that music anywhere. God, I miss HQ Words...
Had the S24 Ultra for about a week. Last 3 days, the phone has failed to charge overnight. After changing cord and charging blocks, I did research and found this is a known problem and the phone has to be restarted all the time for the phone to recharge. Sent it back to Samsung. Loved the one, but charging is a basic function that should work flawlessly in a $1500 phone
The s24 amd s24 plus are the ones people might consider to get its cheap and performs like the big brother s24
Is banana blur still an issue?
Respect for the t-shirt!
Watching with my S24 plus
Note24 Ultra 64%. 6hrs 12mins screen on time. Off the charger 11hrs
6:16 shout out to the person wearing selvedge jeans in the background
The only thing holding me back is that I can only get the exnos version. Until Samsung offers the snapdragon in my zone I’ll live without it.
Just got the s24!!!!
How is the battery going?
What about battery life in exynos variant ?
A litte bit worse but not problematic like before.
@@Milchschndde What about overheating?
@@slickrick2420 In the video I watched the Exynos ran about 1-2 degrees hotter than the newly bought SD S23. The Exynos drained battery faster at genshin impact (which is horribly optimized but maybe concerning if you are a gamer). The Eynos performed slightly bether than the s23 in everything else and also standby time. I guess the SD s24 is a little more efficient than the s23 so probably a bit bether than the Exynos S24.
Tell them about the washed out screens please.
Sounds like someone was unlucky.
My s24+ looks fine 👌🏻
50 percent it's 1:32am used my phone all day
14 %, huawei p8 lite 2017
I got a s23+ had it for 6 months been loving it ever since battery is excellent & it does over heat & love the software on the gen2 i can tell the big difference when i had my s21 plus major upgrade but i really want a s24 ultra 👍🏾 👌🏾
72% at 2:35 pm. Off charger at 6:22 am. S23 Ultra
Not sure what’s with my s24+ it drains battery really quick. My device issue or anyone else facing this issue? I run it on QHD+120
Same here. Exynos 2400 modell, 24 plus. I Lose like 5% / hour without using the Phone... no background apps. Its really really bad. I think about returning it.
@@HummingBird88 I returned it today.. Samsung guys run some tests and said all is good however, they are now replacing my device with a new one.. fingers crossed!! Mine is SD Gen 3
Have you checked to see what apps are maybe draining your battery? I have a S 24+ and I’m extremely happy with the battery life.
@@shiva0666 wish you good luck!
@@jejunamja yeah. I did. I even charged my phone to 100 at midnight, then leave it till the next morning. Not a single App was draining battery, still lost 15 % in the night.
Its good battery life if you have snapdragon version but if you have the exynos, battery life seems to suffer.
I might finally ditch my 5 year old S9 to get this (I will miss the headphone jack dearly)
Good Review
81% still have the s23 plus is it worth upgrading?
Yes, do it. I had the s23 FE and just got the regular s24, while the differences aren't major, you will notice them. S24 best phone I've ever had.
It's at 100% because I just took it off the charger, so...
And btw, I traded in my S20 Plus with a crack in the screen and got a $700 credit from Spectrum where I pay $14 to $28 a month for service depending on how much data I use. I scored hard and paid $337 for the S24Plus.
Photo editing AI is under baked, it's hilarious😂
I'm on my s24 right now and it's on 93% battery. Best phone I've EVER had. Hands down
i have the S24+ with 51% battery after 36 hours.
When does the iMessage stuff start working so I can drop apple
My S20 ( Exynos) is at 68% right now
Im still sat here on a samsung s9. 45% @3pm (ive already charged it for 30 mins today).
Samsung galaxy s 24 series really futuristic smartphone 😊
what about exynos version
The AI is used to gather information from other users/countries
The main thing you didn't mention - what was the chip in your S24+??
I think SD 8 gen 3
American and Canadian S24s ship with the Snapdragon.
@@JohnSmith-yt8di I was asking about the specific phone he used for video.
S21 Ultra at 83%. Great video
Snapdragon or exynos?
I thought just the ultra has the snapdragon
On the Samsung Galaxy S24 with 37% battery charge left
got s24 last week. the battery is awful.. i only used it for browsing and texting, it never lasted more than a day. last night i was in the taxi for 10 min, i was browsing 9gag, the battery dropped from 15% to 5%.. in 10 min... awful... ill return it and get s24+, seems like a better option
