The Galaxy S24 is, for me, an upgrade from the Galaxy S22. It has the familiarity and ease-of-use of previous Galaxy phones but has improved and added features that give me the excitement of a new phone.
The packaging is minimal, yet sturdy. Contents consist of the phone, a USB C cable, a SIM tool and a quick-start guide. There is no plug, but having owned several Galaxy phones, I had no need for another one.
I chose the S24 over the S24+ due to the size and I am not disappointed. The phone has a premium feel, with an aluminium frame, and I like the Sapphire Blue back that I chose, which is only available when ordering from Samsung direct. The S24 has an increased battery size and a 6.2 inch screen but the phone still feels light and easy to hold and work with a single hand. The screen is extremely clear and bright, with a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz.
Two things worth mentioning, although neither are an issue for me, are that there is no expandable memory (for my use, the 256 GB should be ample) and there is no headphone socket.
It was easy for me to set up the S24 and transfer data from the old phone automatically. This included transferring the apps across, although for security everything needs to be set up with existing passwords before the Fingerprint ID for different apps can be used.
One of my favourite new features of the S24 is the AI Circle to Search Feature, which allows you to find out information on whatever is on your screen (whether, photo, video or text) by drawing a circle around the relevant image/text with your finger.
I’m still getting used to the cameras on the S24 but the photos I have taken to date have been crisp and bright and the colours in the images are true to life. I like using the object eraser and the background blur features to personalise and improve photos.
I have a Galaxy Watch 4 and it was easy to pair this watch with the S24 and I am enjoying using the Health features and tracking my sleep, particularly as I live with a couple of chronic conditions.
Although I have only had the phone 10 days, it already feels like my best friend and, two years since I bought my previous Samsung Galaxy, it feels like technology has grown and improved so much in that time.
