Dissapointed by S24U

[JohnDoeandMore]

Dissapointed. This is the conclusion regarding the S24U. I am not gonna talk about features, battery, AI, because it doesn't matter. I want to talk about the operating noises coming from the processor as well as from one of the sensors near the front video camera.
Unfortunately, when I put my ear to the phone, I notice these noises, weak in intensity, one permanent (of the processor) and one that appears when the screen is on (the sensor). You will say that you do not hear them, or that they are irrelevant. For me, however, they are not, because it creates a state of discomfort for me. So, until Samsung decides to choose silent components, I am forced to stay with the old s22u.

If you're talking about the rattle noise from the optical image stabilisation, you'll be sorely disappointed as this has and will be the case for every generation (in the foreseeable future). It isn't any worse than they have been for the last 4 years. If anything I think it's slightly improved over my S23 Ultra and noticeably better over my S21 Ultra.

I have now the S22 Ultra and the noise is not existent. So, either the S22u has different sensor, or it is not existing, or it is a better quality.

Somebody should consider this things too in the future. It is unacceptable for me to have a device that is kept close to the year and with this kind of noises.

The sound comes exactly from the top left corner of the phone and it is like a buzz, pretty noisy and appears only when the screen is on.

Is it possible you have a faulty unit @JohnDoeandMore 

[JohnDoeandMore]

Not sure. I wrote on different groups. It seems many do hear it and also many don't mind. Go in a quiet room, relax, place the year on top of the phone, turn on and off the display and listen.

It sounds like you have a faulty unit. There should be no sounds on any phone (other than speaker noise) whilst the screen is on. I assure you this isn't normal for any phone, S24 Ultra or otherwise.

I also have the s22 ultra and I do not hear any rattle.

I have never ever heard any form of noise from any phone I have ever had - in the way you describe. You must have superhuman hearing

Strange. Got mine a few days ago can't hear anything on mine 🤔 the above comments are probably right could be a faulty device 😩
