Replaced my S10 with this S24 because the S10 battery life was getting short. Big improvement in speed and much better screen even though marginally larger screen than S10. No operational quirks noted. Migration from S10 using Samsung software was nearly flawless. However compared to the S10, this phone feels "clunky" as it does not have the sleek rounded edges and is thicker than the S10. The S-View cover for this phone is not nearly as nice as the one on my S10.
Key business apps pre-loaded in its out-of-the-box configuration, which was convenient, but there is too much automation.
Operating system updates automatically load nefarious, third-party gaming apps. Must turn off automatic "application updates" within the phone's settings, Samsung app store settings, and any other app stores (i.e. Google) that may be loaded on your device.
If connected via Bluetooth to most cars, will automatically text anybody who texts you, regardless of whether or not you are using your phone. Must remove texting permission from every individual Bluetooth device within the phone's settings.
An unidentified, pre-loaded app keeps automatically turning on my display's "Always On" feature after it is charged. Until I can identify which app or setting is causing this, everyday I must manually turn off this feature in my settings otherwise my screen will stay on all day.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S24 and S24+ utilize AI in various applications and features. For instance, the camera incorporates AI Zoom to enhance zoomed-in photos. Additionally, you can use AI for image editing, such as the Generative Edit feature, which allows you to fill in backgrounds and move, resize, or erase objects. Furthermore, Live Translate enables you to communicate in other languages over the phone. We hate to see that you've experienced some functionality concerns on your device. We recommend making sure to check and see if your device is up to date with the latest software version available. We'd like to gather some additional information about the apps that are being downloaded without your permission. Please reach out to us at Samsung Support so that we can further assist you with this. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus
It is literally the same as a galaxy S23+ don't need to upgrade, if you really don't need to. I didn't need to upgrade but hey life is full of regrets.

It is a very comfortable phone to hold in my hand as well as putting it into a pocket. I had the galaxy s23 ultra while it is a great phone and I truly enjoyed the wonderful pictures I took with it. I fined I prefer the smaller s24 it fits better in my hands.
