Smartphones are a tough sell nowadays! During the past couple of years, these devices have reached a plateau in many areas. The displays are bright and fast; pretty much all of them are now OLEDs, the batteries push 5,000 mAh, and the processors, even though we're getting a new one each year, have been more than capable enough for many years.

One can argue that camera hardware and software are potential areas for innovation, and that's true to some extent. Big sensors and clever AI algorithms are occupying the smartphone scene in a bid to make these devices more attractive.

And speaking of AI, this is the next big thing in the tech world. Ever since ChatGPT made headlines and awed some people while scaring others to death, big companies are trying to hop on the AI train. Word is that this year will be the year of AI, and in smartphones too, probably the Galaxy S24 as well.

Think about new ways to interact with your smartphone and completely new ways to gather, sort, analyze, and process data. But we digress. The Galaxy S24 is mere days away; it's the biggest launch of 2024. So, what feature would make you buy one? The camera? Maybe some clever AI baked into the user interface that can do tricks for you? A blindingly bright display? Share your wish list below!

If they brought back MicroSD support and got rid of the curved screens. A few months ago my S20+ was on the ropes. I had decided to buy an iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max as my first ever iPhone because if I was going to give up MicroSD support I would try something new. Then a friend offered me a 3 week old, barely used S23 Ultra at half price. $600 for an practically new S23 Ultra was too good of a deal to pass up. However, I hate HATE the curved screen. I know that I am 1 of few but I want to use a screen protector and the ones for curved screens are .... mediocre.

Rumor has it that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be flat as a pancake! :) So, you might get lucky with this one... As for the microSD card support, it's really strange. Samsung offers it on the A-series but not on the S-series, so it's a midrange feature and not a flagship feature anymore. And it obviously is a choice and not a constraint; Xperia flagships still got it, and they are as thin and as premium as Galaxies...
