S24u camera comparisons with S23u

[smiley]

So far this seems to be one of the most techy camera comparisons between S24u and S23u, and considering it is tester samples only and not in the public domain yet...

If I have to be honest, I'm not impressed by it. Hopefully the software will improve it slightly, looks like they spent the whole budget on the AI stuff which will get rarely used by most.

As it has been said before on here... youtuber reviews and opinions can be divided... I am sure the s24u will have refinements and improvements... but whether it is enough to justify an upgrade from s23 to s24 is the question for me.

S23u would also be expected to get a lot of the 6.1 feature updates soon enough as well.

I guess if you are zooming and looking for artefacts in images then it is clear there are some good improvements... but when I take photos I don't tend to spend time looking for these issues to the nth degree. If it looks decent in the photo without searching for issues then that is good enough for me 👍 🤔

There isn't much difference and because of this AI business we are led to believe it's going to be marvellous 😀 only time will tell. I'm not willing to pay for it either.

Actually a lot of these AI features were previously available in different guises.

For example the 'bixby vision' option with the s pen used to be able to highlight an item within an image and do an internet search. It wasn't as well refined, but it still worked to some extent.

Also the translator AI tool now looks a lot more useable, but again the s pen translate and other translate features in the s23 are somewhat there from earlier development.

Also the Google pixel Pro 7 and Pro 8 have some of these Google features already... they are just less publicised.

For me this 'AI' rebranding is more of a refinement of previously available features to make them more useful than they once were.

A large amount of these features will be with us soon anyway. The more concerning is how long it takes before these are seen as chargeable features.

I.e. you may need to pay a fee for a week of translate when you travel to Spain for example...

We will see how AI works out.
