    A marginally faster glass rectangle with 15 cameras, take my money!

    "The new S24 is loaded with features, such as two permanently dedicated Bixby buttons.

    For users who prefer to not use Bixby, device functionality will be limited to the text and camera apps, the content of which will be automatically uploaded to the all-new Bixby Cloud."

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The show has officially been announced for January 17, with Samsung’s reservation website promising “Zoom with Galaxy AI is coming.”

    The show will launch the Galaxy S24, which has already leaked quite a bit, with the big news being a new titanium body.

    (The report is no longer online due to a DMCA takedown, which is a good sign of its legitimacy.)

    The Windows Report photos showed the smaller Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus are getting flat metal sides, reminiscent of the classic iPhone 4/iPhone 15 design.

    One user on X, David Martin, even received legitimate-looking live images of a Galaxy S24 Ultra, and the display looks flat.

    Of course, in the US, the new Samsung phone will have Qualcomm’s latest chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and it sounds like some international versions will get the Exynos 2400 SoC.

      Probably the cost to make them. I really like them it makes the phone look futuristic and sleek. Kinda shame.

    I wouldn’t be able to design a more boring Samsung phone myself. Apple looks like the nexus of innovation in comparison to these lame ass “upgrades”.

    Also I can’t wait for the Exynos 2400 to even further ruin these phones.

      Are you an apple fan boi. Each apple looks identical to the last. What innovation are you referring to ?

        Not at all, but its just agonizing watching this once trailblazing company release esentially the same phone for the 4th time now.

        Apple at least fixed two of their dumbest past decisions this generation (lightning and flat sides which make the phone unergonomic).

        Which obviously is doesn’t make them amazing but at least they improved something.

        Samsung could easily do the same, bring back 1440p one the base model, SD Card Slot, IR Blaster, Headphone Jack, IR Blaster, …

          Oh totally but I think innovation is dead in the smartphone era. Only so much you can do with a glass slab. All ones have basically stagnated. Pixel, apple and all the Chinese branda.

          OnePlus used to in it’s hayday really push the boat out. Now phone companies are trying to cannibalize each other.

          Only so much growth once everyone has a smartphone.

          I think it’s just refinement now. Refinement on software and then try to find the next thing.

          Yeah I think better software. Open source and modular. Sure it blaster. Solid state battery. Maybe bendable like a slap bracelet.

            I think this sentiment that “guys, we reached peak smartphone - there is nothing we can do” is pure nonsense.

            Over the last couple years there were plenty of usfull new features that haven’t caught on with mainstream devices but that would benefit lots of people.

            LG’s second display case, variable Zoom cameras from Sony, ways to use the main camera for selfies like Asus’ camera swivel system or Xiaomi’s small rear display, toolless sim slots like in older Sony phones, active Stylus support, … .

              Second display is kinda gimmicky. I have zero use cases but happy to hear some.

              Better zoom is good but that’s not really hardware. Selfies don’t impact most of the population but again not really innovation there.

              I don’t need stylus and most people don’t need it. There’s plenty gimmicks but I think real innovation is over. Maybe a last few spurts but nothing much.

              Move to the next thing.

              Biggest thing for me it to completely remove phones.

              Smart glasses / contacts. Whatever floating screen.

              I think best system would be hearable smart watch and larger battery system with a powerful soc.

              All info syncs between the system. You don’t actually have the phone out. It houses the power and brains
