Galaxy S24 Ultra vs. iPhone 13 Pro Max: Rihanna video debate

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is one of the best Android smartphones you can buy right now. Samsung is sparing no expense to promote the Galaxy S24 series to maintain the sales momentum, just as some of the most notable Galaxy S24 rivals are about to hit stores.The best thing for Samsung would be the Galaxy S24 going viral. Like, say, a video of a Rihanna concert that could have been shot on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. If you were in charge of Samsung’s social accounts, you’d understandably want to promote such a video. But…

Exynos 2400 vs. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 test

The rumors that preceded the launch of the Galaxy S24 were correct. They warned that Samsung would use both the Exynos 2400 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chips to power the flagship. Fans had not forgotten the massive Exynos 2200 disappointment that forced Samsung to use a Snapdragon chip inside every Galaxy S23 model.But Samsung did things differently when splitting its Galaxy S24 versions by chip model. Every Galaxy S24 Ultra model runs on Qualcomm’s latest chip, including international devices. But only the…

iPhone 15 Pro Max wins

The Galaxy S24 is out in stores, with the Galaxy S24 Ultra easily being the best choice of the three devices, despite a few drawbacks. But if you’re buying a Galaxy S24 model in the US, you’ll be happy to know all three models rock the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip from Qualcomm. International buyers will have to pick the Ultra if they want to avoid the Exynos 2400 chip from Samsung. Either chip should offer a great Galaxy S24 performance, and there’s no indication that the Exynos 2400 is plagued by the same issues as…

Galaxy S24 Ultra titanium frame is cheaper than the iPhone 15 Pro

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is Samsung’s first and only phone to feature a titanium frame. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that Apple used titanium for the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max last year. Still, that should be great news for the phone’s durability, though Galaxy S24 Ultra drop tests have shown that the titanium frame won’t save the glass from breaking. Titanium doesn’t save the iPhone’s glass either, of course. That said, the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s titanium appears to be four times cheaper than the iPhone 15 Pro.…

Screen and camera defects reported

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is easily the best Android phone on the market in 2024. But if you want to get the most expensive, non-foldable phone Samsung has to offer, you should be aware of a couple of potential issues with the device. Some Galaxy S24 Ultra early adopters have reported screen and camera defects that plagued their devices. Some of them also encountered pushback from Samsung and their carriers when looking for solutions.While you’ll probably be able to sort out a replacement or a fix, you should be…

Galaxy S24 Ultra drop test: What better durability?

The Galaxy S24 series is out, and we’ve already reviewed the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the obvious star of the three new handsets. With its larger footprint, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has two immediate benefits: the larger display and battery capacity. The Ultra also features a built-in stylus and more camera sensors because there’s more room inside the handset. Samsung then gave the Galaxy S24 Ultra additional perks that have nothing to do with size. The Ultra is the only phone to feature a titanium frame. It’s also the…

Samsung really needs a smaller Ultra

If you read our Galaxy S24 Ultra review, you know it’s the complete package. There’s no better Android phone on the market, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra just set the rules of engagement for the entire year. No wonder the Galaxy S24 launched in January, giving Samsung plenty of lead time on competitors. It’s not just the flat screen, the titanium frame, the high-end cameras, and the Galaxy AI. It’s all of those features together. The Galaxy S24 Ultra might be the phone to buy for many people, especially while Samsung…

Circle to Search might be exclusive for months

Developed by Google, Circle to Search is the most exciting and useful feature included in the Galaxy AI package on the Galaxy S24 series. Cirle to Search is also available on Pixel 8 phones. But that’s about it. While Google says it ultimately wants to make Circle to Search available on as many devices as possible — maybe even the iPhone — we’ll be waiting a while for that.According to Samsung, Circle to Search on other Galaxy devices might not happen until the fall. What is Circle to Search?Google announced…

Galaxy S24 Galaxy AI features might not be free after 2025

The Galaxy S24 phones are going to be the first brand-new Android devices to ship with advanced generative AI features built-in. Some of this AI magic happens directly on-device, without data leaving the handset to be processed in the cloud. But most Galaxy AI features do require a connection to the cloud. That’s what Samsung told me during a Galaxy S24 briefing.Samsung also said at the time that it doesn’t plan to charge for any of these Galaxy AI features. Generative AI costs money, but Samsung isn’t ready to…

Drop test breaks Corning Gorilla Armor glass

I never expected the Galaxy S24 Ultra to deliver the upgrade I’m dying to see on smartphones, which is glass that doesn’t break when you drop your phone. But I was curious to see how the new Corning Gorilla Armor would fare during such events. This is a brand new type of Corning glass, which is exclusive to the Galaxy S24 Ultra series. Corning announced the glass panel just as Samsung unveiled its Galaxy S24, focusing on Gorlia Armor’s improved scratch resistance. With a week to go until the Galaxy S24’s official…
