In-depth review: Comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of Samsung Galaxy S24+ AI phone

Question: Is there such a mobile phone that makes users "both happy and miserable?"

Answer: Every Samsung S series phone since the Galaxy S20 series.

Different from those mobile phone users who often "fight against injustice" for their mobile phone brands and often "attack all forces" on Weibo and Kuan, users of Samsung mobile phones are Like the new generation of F1 fans, their daily pleasure is to find ways to "hack" Samsung mobile phones. He was so lively and self-deprecating that the phrase "I don't understand why people are still using Samsung" once became the best criterion for identifying Samsung mobile phone users.

Jokes aside, no matter how much we laugh at ourselves, Samsung’s sales that dominate the global market are enough to prove Samsung’s strength in hardware: Samsung’s own top-notch screens, paired with Qualcomm With its specially selected overclocked flagship processor and LPDDR5X USF 4.0 flash memory combination, Samsung’s hardware never falls behind when it comes to the “three major components” of smartphones, and can even be regarded as a benchmark.

But just like imported car brands, it is difficult for Galaxy, which focuses on "global layout", to take into account the segmented needs of each market in detail: European users want to To de-Google the operating system, South American users want lightweight Internet services, Asian users want complex networks and support for 50 different languages, Chinese users want performance, photography and fast charging, and American users want iMessage " Blue Bubbles". Different user needs in different markets make it difficult for a "unified machine" like Samsung to cover everything in different markets. Its market share in China will naturally be surpassed by "new domestic forces" who understand consumers better.

But Samsung is not without counterattacks Opportunity.

The ever-changing AI LLM (Large Language Model) technology in 2023 has brought a new track to mobile phone brands - AI mobile phones. Although each brand had its own "AI assistant" before this, in the face of generative AI, mobile phone brands are like blank sheets of paper. This opportunity to start again also gives Samsung a chance to prove itself again. So in early 2024, as the first shot in the smartphone market in 2024, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series once again stood in front of consumers under the name of AI mobile phone.

Good design, can be inherited

From the appearance point of view, this year’s Samsung design style is not as good as last year’s S23 Big changes occur. Take the S24 that Xiaolei borrowed this time as an example: the phone still uses a straight-screen body design, with narrow aluminum alloy frames on all four sides wrapping a 1440P top-level screen that still has excellent display effects. What is different from previous years is that this year Samsung treats all S24 series screens equally, providing a 1-120Hz LTPO variable refresh rate and a peak ultra-high brightness of 2600nits.

In addition to the titanium alloy frame exclusive to the S24 Ultra, the S24 has also made subtle optimizations in the feel: a little roundness has been added to the place where the phone frame and the back panel contact. The transition makes the feel less stiff. But adding only the transition curve on the back has brought about two other "grooves": the transition between the phone frame and the screen is still so stiff, and the power interface at the bottom does not seem to be on the visual center line of the frame.

But if you put aside these two It's a small pity, but the design of the S24 is still remarkable. The narrow borders on all four sides bring an excellent visual appearance to the screen. If I have to be picky, I think it's always a pity that Samsung doesn't use under-display cameras in the S series. But considering the excellent screen quality of the S24, I think these "small sacrifices" of the camera are not worth mentioning. By the way, this year’s S24 screen has finally converged on saturation, and is no longer oversaturated for a long time like in the past.

Although judging from the comments on Weibo, most netizens still seem to prefer Samsung’s previous “saturation bomb” display colors, but in my opinion, S24 The screen is finally moving towards "accurate" rather than "eye-catching", which is always a good thing. After all, everyone can pull off saturation, but it’s hard to find just the right, accurate color.

#Speaking of the screen, the S24 still retains Samsung’s consistently excellent under-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Compared with optical solutions, ultrasonic fingerprint sensors have greater flexibility in placement. They do not have to reach the bottom of the screen to unlock like some mobile phones that use short-throw optical solutions. In addition, Samsung has made certain improvements in the ultrasonic sensor algorithm in recent years. At least the S24 in Xiaolei’s hands is no longer as strict with the tempered film as last year’s S23. However, for safety reasons, I still recommend that you use a tempered film specially designed for ultrasonic fingerprint solutions, or simply do not apply a film.

Is VC bigger and more powerful?

As just mentioned, although it is not as high-end in hardware stacking as domestic mobile phone brands, Samsung’s annual flagship at least does not lose to the level of domestic flagships in the “three major components”, such as S24 on AnTuTu It scored 2.02 million points in 3D Mark and 5,000 points in 3D Mark. So why does Samsung’s performance in games often lag behind domestic brands? This is largely related to overly conservative performance release and limited heat dissipation configuration.

In order to change Samsung's "heat dissipation This year's S24 series all adopt a stronger heat dissipation control system, in which the area of ​​VC vapor chambers is increased by up to 1.9 times, which can significantly delay the opportunity for mobile phone performance to "hit the wall". After half an hour of Genshin Impact, there was no obvious fluctuation in the FPS curve, and the temperature in the center of the back was only 43 degrees Celsius. After the more accurate 3D Mark 20 cycle stress test, the temperature at the center of the back of the phone was 40 degrees Celsius and the maximum temperature was 42 degrees Celsius.

In addition, the performance of the mobile phone is not Like Samsung phones in the past, there was a rapid decline, but it began to stabilize in the 4th cycle, with a stability of 62%. Some people may think that this stability is not high compared with other mobile phones. From a numerical point of view, this is indeed the case.

But you must know that stability not only depends on the lowest score in the mobile phone cycle, but also depends on the highest score in the mobile phone cycle, that is, the performance upper limit. When the lower limit of mobile phone performance is similar, the higher the upper limit, the worse the stability. But in terms of the performance and heating performance of the S24, I think the S24 is absolutely competent as an 8 Gen3 Android flagship.

Image strength is more than just "night vision"

After talking about performance, I want to talk about Samsung's camera. As domestic mobile phone brands begin to develop their efforts in mobile imaging, domestic mobile phones have "disdained" to compete with traditional powerful machines in the field of imaging and video such as Samsung and Apple. They have begun to cooperate with camera brands such as Leica and Hasselblad to explore mobile imaging technology. The humanities field behind it.

#But as a comparison, Samsung has never had any promotional slogans that are particularly good at communication in the field of mobile phone imaging. Except for the "night vision device" and the "concert telescope" on Xiaohongshu a few years ago, Samsung has never been familiar with the imaging field.

#But this does not mean that Samsung is really lagging behind other brands in the field of mobile phone imaging. On the S24, Samsung also actively embraces computational photography and AI photography, bringing good details and picture purity to the 50MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide-angle and 10MP telephoto cameras.

Macro photography of green leaves For example, even if the tip of the blade is already at the edge of the screen, close to the corner, the photo still has good details and resolution, and the dispersion at close out-of-focus areas is also well controlled. In addition, under strong light transmission, the leaves are not as saturated as in past Samsung phones. In addition, in the red flower test, Samsung's traditional "Achilles heel", the S24 finally did not "explode" like in the past, and the texture details on the petals were also preserved.

#In terms of night scenes, the photo quality of S24 is as clean as ever. Although there is some dispersion at the edges of the picture under strong light, the overall sensitivity and picture details are well controlled.

In addition, the main camera is in night scene mode The stack processing of the highlight part is also very good. However, the performance of ultra-wide-angle night scenes is somewhat inferior. Not only is the graininess stronger, but the highlight stack in the center of the picture also overflows slightly. Although there are obvious traces of smearing in the low-light telephoto part, the overall picture is relatively clean, with only some "flesh" at the edges of the lines.

However, when I was experiencing S24 night scene shooting, I don’t know if it was because the borrowed test device used an early firmware version. I found that there is still some room for improvement in the shooting strategy of the mobile phone camera: Generally speaking, while pressing the shutter button, The phone will provide a vibration feedback and start shooting. At the same time, there will be a countdown of frequent exposures on the screen.

But sometimes, I clearly I have pressed the shutter button, and the S24 also uses vibration feedback to tell me that I have indeed pressed the shutter button, but the phone will "stuck" in place for two or three seconds before starting to shoot again. During this period, there were almost no focus prompts and no bellows on the screen, and there was no shooting countdown. There was only a normal viewfinder interface. When I picked up the phone to check, shooting suddenly started. I hope Samsung can fix this problem in the official firmware and try to optimize the overall shooting experience.

AI is strong, but it can be stronger

Of course, excellent screen, powerful performance and excellent The camera is just the starting point for a flagship phone. But as an AI camera, the S24 needs to do more. An additional point to note here is that the AI ​​functions of the S24 series sold overseas are calculated by Google's Gemini at the bottom level. This model has capabilities comparable to GPT-4. The S24 series sold domestically is supported by AI capabilities from Chinese partners.

On S24, AI functions are divided into "efficiency" and "creativity" categories, and are broken down into the settings of each system App. For example, S24 calls have a built-in two-way voice translation function. When turned on, the device can automatically recognize the language and automatically translate the conversation between the two parties during the call. Although the current translation still requires waiting time and cannot achieve the speed of "the translation appears as soon as the sentence is finished", the good news is that the results are accurate and are built into the native phone app, which can be used to communicate with restaurants and hotels when traveling overseas. Communication is just right.

Note Assistant and Transcription Assistant are also features that Xiaolei likes very much. As long as the corresponding functions are turned on during a meeting, the phone can transcribe multi-person conversations into text in the background, and even Different speakers can be automatically distinguished. The only problem is that the AI ​​in the current version may confuse some foreign words when processing multi-language conversations, but you can quickly check and modify it with the recording.

As for the instant circle search that was highlighted at the press conference, I may have seen too many similar functions before, but it didn’t leave anything special for me. impression.

In terms of "creativity", Samsung Deeply binding AI to cameras and pictures, it brings a series of AI creative functions such as AI zoom, AI night scene, intelligent photo retouching, and generative editing. In fact, in previous mobile phones, Samsung has already tried to add AI composition assistance during the viewing stage. But the innovative AI smart photo retouching suggestions can provide smart suggestions for recomposing the photo after the photo is taken.

In terms of editing, built-in generation Style editing can also make secondary modifications to the image content that are in line with user intuition: click on the AI ​​star and long press on the screen element you want to modify, you can directly modify the size, direction or even delete the object directly. Not only does it process effects quickly, but when faced with complex textures, the S24’s AI is superior in efficiency and accuracy.

However, judging from the current AI application, the AI ​​functions of S24 are still somewhat conservative. Judging from the operating efficiency of the AI ​​​​function, the S24's AI can also achieve greater value in more fields. For example, the AI ​​​​image can be directly implanted in the camera to realize the complete AI function before shooting. Or use AI to learn the user's original pronunciation habits, and then apply the trained speech model to real-time call translation.

Summary: The "pioneer" of AI mobile phones

After a week of experience, Samsung S24 seems to me to be indeed It can be called a qualified AI flagship phone: it has the flagship configuration and performance that a flagship phone should have, and it has also made many attempts to explore AI. But the problem is that how to organically integrate generative AI into mobile phones has become the current primary research direction for all mobile phone brands. It is naturally a good thing for Samsung to use AI to "empower" mobile phones, but at this stage, what AI can do has never "exceeded everyone's expectations."

Whether it is translation, transcription, or object removal, we have more or less experienced related skills before the outbreak of generative AI. The emergence of generative AI has only improved the "success rate" of these functions, allowing these functions to evolve from "can run" to "easy to use". There is still a certain distance between real subversion.
