Are Galaxy AI features free on the S24?

Samsung has confirmed that Galaxy AI features will be free until at least the end of 2025. After that, some cloud-based features may become paid, but on-device tools will remain free.

How long does the S24 battery last in real-world use?

In normal use, the battery lasts from morning to evening (about 5-6 hours of screen time). As it is a compact phone, its battery life is slightly less than the S24+ or Ultra models.

Is the Exynos 2400 worse than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3?

The difference is minimal compared to previous generations. Snapdragon is slightly more efficient in gaming, but the Exynos 2400 offers excellent everyday performance and supports all the same AI features.

Does the S24 support eSIM?

Yes, the S24 supports both a physical Nano-SIM and eSIM. It is also possible to use two eSIMs simultaneously (Dual eSIM).

Is the 'grainy' appearance of the screen a defect?

This is a known hardware characteristic of some panels. If it interferes with normal use, it is considered a warranty case, but in many cases, it is only visible in a dark room at very low brightness.

Is the S24 waterproof?

Yes, the device has an IP68 rating, meaning it can withstand submersion in water up to 1.5 meters deep for up to 30 minutes. However, it is not recommended to use it in saltwater.
