With the emergence of eSIM, many manufacturers have started creating various variations. Combining a regular slot with an eSIM. Samsung is not left behind. One of the models introduced in February 2024 received an interesting combination.
DUAL SIM + eSIM, meaning the phone has 1 physical slot for a memory card, and the second one is digital. Unlike the slot for the physical card, the eSIM cannot be removed from the device. And this is a huge advantage - you can't lose such a card, even if the phone is stolen, it will be much easier to find it precisely because of the digital card.
General Characteristics
Not all S24 models have this combination, there are simplified versions, but the technical characteristics of each variant are at the highest level.
The device is compact - 6.2 inches, but with a high resolution - 2340x1080 pixels. For protection, it features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, known for its increased durability compared to previous versions.
Depending on the region, the processor may be Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Exynos 2400, which compete with each other in terms of characteristics. The RAM size is 8 GB, and the internal storage can range from 128 to 512 GB, depending on the choice.
The device comes with the pre-installed Android 14 OS, with guaranteed manufacturer support for 7 years.
The smartphone features a 4000 mAh battery, slightly larger than its predecessor. The wired charging power remains at 25 W, and wireless charging at 15 W. With standard usage, the device will last 1.5-2 days.
Cameras
Regarding the cameras, there haven't been significant changes. The main module remains at 50 MP, with others at 10 and 12 MP. The front camera is 12 MP. Although there are no changes compared to the previous year's version, the cameras have improved.
This improvement is thanks to advancements in AI. Now, even in the basic application, you can edit photos, removing or shifting objects, changing angles, retouching. Previously, all of this had to be done using third-party applications, which also needed to be downloaded. Even for this reason, the S24 can confidently be called one of the most progressive flagships of the current year.
