Is titanium really that much of a pro, though? It will add to the cost, and there are aluminum and stainless steel grades that can do the trick for much less money

Nobody cares about the increasing cost of flagship phones, it isn't a new thing anymore adding titanium shouldn't be an excuse for unimaginable price increase. All these are greed. How can someone pay $1300 or more for a smartphone and it weight like rock in your hands and pockets. Smartphone companies are giving customers less and charging more than what they are offering to them as justification for the high fees

I'd consider is if the front cam had a 60mp array like the Moto Edge Plus 2022

Love Samsung, but their my Samsung watch only has a very short battery life of 3 hours. That's a lot of money to spend on a watch that only lasts for 3 hours a day! Until they fix this and have a battery that lasts at least as long as an iPhone watch of 3 days to a week based on model,

I refuse to buy a Samsung watch!

Again, I love Samsung everything..love watch capabilities...HATE THE BATTERY LIFE. YOU CAN'T WEAR AN WATCH IF IT ONLY LASTS 3 HOURS!

The main feature that would convince me to get one would be if it weren't a Samsung.

Get rid of the curves edge screen, and move the stylus from all the way over to one side, and move it closer to the charging port. Stop with so much emphasis on a stupid camera. It is a phone, not a photography apparatus.

The only way I'd buy an S23 or S24 series phone, would be if expandable memory (microSD) was included. I currently own an S20FE.

That ship has sailed, I'm afraid...

I'm answering for S24 Ultra, as I wouldn't consider s24 Vanilla or s24+.


I think it's time to improve on the camera software, and for charging speeds (including wirelessly) to be increased.


The Pixels and iPhones of the world routinely produce better photographs than S Ultra phones, despite having "inferior" camera lenses. The Google Pixel has the best camera on any phone in my view. Shockingly, I even think there's an argument to be made that the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus Open beat the S23 Ultra for photography.


The other major problem I have with S Ultra phones is poor charging speeds. This may sound a little hypocritical considering that I am currently a Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 14 user, but let me explain: I have an iPhone because I need an iPhone (I prefer Android) and I bought the Pixel 7 Pro primarily for the camera, my last two phones before that were OnePlus Pro phones and so after choosing power over photo quality for the last two phones I wanted a change. If one considers that OnePlus phones always have one of the fastest charging times and that neither the S Ultra or OnePlus have the "best" camera, I'm almost certainly going to take the OnePlus flagship over the S Ultra if I'm in the mood for power when it's time to upgrade.


I would also add that I'm not a big fan of heavy skins of Android like OneUI either, although unlike the horrible Chinese ROMS like MIUI, a custom launcher can usually resolve most of these annoyances and it can be made to "feel" more like a Pixel or Nothing phone with Lawnchair or similar.

I plan to look into buying an S24U. If it's made of *cool as can be* titanium and has a flat, symmetric display, I'll get one if the trade value for my S22U is enough to be able to afford it.


That's if America hasn't been destroyed in WW3 and all.
