I bought this phone for my sister as a birthday gift. She love it . She said it’s ’my Best phone ever!” I’m happy that she likes it. She said the camera is very good, the display quality is excellent and the battery life is okay. I am excited that she is enjoying the phone.

It's overall an improvement to my old S8 active phone since it's quite old after all. Everything is quite nice and fast with barely any need to get used to the phone if you're familiar with Samsung phones.
The only thing I really hate and prevented me from getting newer phones is really the removal of the headphone jack. I hate that.
Overall, got this as a replacement since old phone is too slow and broken. It's pretty good so far, no scratches or anything even without a screen protector. It's quite good.

Runs well when it doesn't have one of it's oddball issues. The most annoying of which is a strange bug I can't seem to find online (Ironically because apparently the Ultra and Plus have even MORE issues than this phone, flooding out the search results) where the display "freezes" but is still functioning completely normally, it just doesn't show you what's happening. The only way I've been able to temporarily fix it is to lock and unlock the phone again 1-3 times.
It's full of bloatware out of the box, and Samsung desperately wants to be Apple. I miss my Pixels but I can't argue that the build quality on the Galaxy phones is much higher, even if they are massively overpriced.
It's built in camera app is GARBAGE. I get better pictures from $250 phones from 6 years ago. The sad part is that it's a fine sensor, their software is just awful.
Oh, another fun quirk of this phone is that they often let you turn certain features off, but not actually. For instance, I turned off auto-brightness adjustment for the display, but sometimes I can literally see my display getting brighter or darker based on ambient light. It doesn't happen as frequently with the setting disabled, but it shouldn't be happening at all. The same thing goes for post-processing in the stock camera app. You can dig through the menus and disable everything, but take a picture and watch as after a few seconds the post-processing "pops" in, washing out all the colors in the image, and simultaneously over-softening and over-sharpening the image.
Samsung, I know by trying to be the Apple of Android you're catering to the lowest common denominator. But if I'm going through the effort to dig through the menus to tweak my settings, let me do what I want. I don't have an iPhone for a reason.

Brand response from Samsung
Posted .
Hello Noah, thank you for taking time out of your day to share your experience with your new Samsung Galaxy S24. It's completely understandable as you change from one manufacturer to another that it can cause some frustration as you learn the different settings, features, and usage of the device. We have some great articles on our website to help address the matter of the freezing on the display titled "Galaxy phone or tablet's screen is frozen or responds too slowly" as a good starting point. We also have the full device manual available on our website to help you turn off any settings or features you would rather not have enabled to best customize your device to your preferences and needs. Lastly, if any aspect of your device is operating out of the ordinary or you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Samsung Support Team for one on one assistance. Thank you for being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth

Great quality, I like to purchase my phones here because whatever issue I have they help me solve it. Not like other retails where they ask 1,000 questions and not end up helping you

Mil (from 304 Bloomingdale best buy) did really well in explaining the quality of the phone and brought up many other phones that can be alternate options. He communicated well and helped me choose a phone that I really love. This phone has excellent camera quality and reacts well to the touch.

Not a huge upgrade over the last couple generations, but there wasn't much to improve upon anyway. The 4 star is because the camera was not focusing well and over processing pictures out of the box, but between reducing processing and I'm guessing updates to the camera app, the problem is fixed now.
