The Samsung Galaxy S24 won’t be as high-end or exciting as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, but if Samsung gets this phone right, then it could offer a better combination of price and features for most people.
Still, to tempt people away from the already-excellent Samsung Galaxy S23, it’s going to need some significant upgrades. With that in mind we’ve come up with a list of five things that we want from the Samsung Galaxy S24, to make it a compelling high-end handset.
With these improvements, it could rank not just among the best Samsung phones, but the best phones period. However, some of our wishes are a lot more likely than others, as we’ll explain below.
Note, though, that we’re just considering the standard Samsung Galaxy S24 here. If you want to see our thoughts on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, check out the six things we want from the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
1. UPGRADED CAMERAS
The Samsung Galaxy S23 doesn’t have bad cameras, in fact in our Samsung Galaxy S23 review we praised them as a “great camera array backed by better image processing.” But they’re the same cameras as the Samsung Galaxy S22 has, so they’re due an upgrade.
We don’t expect the Galaxy S24 to inherit the 200MP main sensor or the 10x optical zoom of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but how about the 108MP main sensor of the Galaxy S22 Ultra? Or simply some larger sensor sizes than the Galaxy S23 has currently.
Any of this would help the Samsung Galaxy S24 remain competitive against increasingly fierce camera phone competition. Sadly though, leaks suggest the Galaxy S24 will have the same camera hardware as its predecessor, and therefore its predecessor’s predecessor too.
