I was so excited to get the S24+ after Christmas.... I've been a loyal Samsung user for over 15 years... however, this phone camera is the absolute worst I have ever owned. I just switched from the S20Fe and I am so grateful that I still own it, as I have switched back to using it. I'm locked into a 2 year phone plan with my S24+, but I am so desperate to have a decent working camera that I've had to resort to this option. Every photo on the S24+ is overprocessed and given that I take so many pictures of my family and children, the washed out, ghost-like, sickly appearance that the S24+ gives any skin tone is just unacceptable for a phone in this price range. I was a little disappointed with the quality of the S20Fe camera when I first purchased it: the selfie camera didn't have autofocus and I found that my previous phone, the S9, was so much better at producing quality photos that could be blown up and printed off for framing. We have 8×10 portraits all over our house from photos taken with the S9. The S20Fe produces decent photos, but I was really looking forward to an even better camera with the release of the S24+. I have never in my life been so disappointed. I have switched around all my settings, downloaded the camera assistant, and tried editing them through my paid subscriptions to various photo editing apps... the portrait pictures and skin tone quality are so so bad. Additionally, the battery life on my S24+ is terrible. I see so many reviews stating that the battery is exceptional, but I only use my phone for roughly 5 hours total per day (scrolling social media, taking pictures and videos, checking emails, etc.) and my phone goes from 80% charged to 15%. Overall, I've always loved Samsung's operating system... but I am so so disappointed with this particular phone. The camera is such an important component in my choice of phone and I've always been happy with the previous versions of the Galaxy S series.. I just cannot believe how bad the camera/gallery app is on this S24+.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very Disappointing

I don't care for the s24+. It doesn't have the audio port, I had to down a junk app to get notifications, and I cannot do talk to text (yet). The talk to text icon is gone. The double-tap doesn't turn on my screen, the fingerprint reader is very hit and miss. Not to mention, it came loaded with a bunch of games I am still removing. Give me back my s9!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have had the Ultra for a week. Tested out the interpreter function and looks easy to use and will be helpful in upcoming trips to Europe and Scandanavia. Screen resolution is clear and crisp. Will also get to test out the enhanced 200X camera in the Northeast to the eclipse in April. Battery life is better than the 21 it replaced. Daily use, including business needs and multiple email accounts, still leaves 70% plus at day's end.

I bought a S24+ and it freezes when I play games and I have to restart the app. I'm very disappointed. If I could return it I would. Don't sink big money into this junk.

I can see the pixels on the screen. Camera on my S23 Ultra was better. Cannot charge on super charger - it's interrupting every 3 seconds while charging. Screen is way to sensitive and can be easily activated while in the pocket. And phone gets hot. I regret that I upgraded. Phone has many better futures, but when upgrading to a new model - my expectations were a better phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
