Nice. But I’d rather have an SD card slot, headphone jack, and a bigger, removable battery. Seriously, I don’t give a fuck otherwise.

I’m on a Galaxy S7’edge’ that I really need to migrate away from. I don’t want the foldable, and I’m not into iphones. How good/bad is the Galaxy S24 in this situation?

Doesn't impress me much. My bezels have been slim enough at least since note 9.

mrsnowflake ,

Lol I remember the release of the iPhone X where the world was amazed by the thinness of the bezels. Those were still thicker than the bezels on the Galaxy S8.

notenoughbutter ,

yeah, but the s8,s9 had thick top and bottom bezels instead of the notch+uniformly thin bezels on the iphone

dinckelman ,

Honestly speaking, I don’t want a thinner phone with a thinner bezel. My current Note 10 is unusable without a case, because it’s like a stick of butter. It is so incredibly difficult to hold, and the curved display really is not helping it at all

Cool more electronic garbage to break easier than the last over priced electronic garbage. Samsung need to focus on making responsible long lasting repairable upgradable devices especially not cheap garbage designed to break as soon as possible

thinner

Nice

bezel

Disappointment

SuperSpecialNickname ,

I think small bezels are really annoying. When you put a case that has a lip around the edges it’s really problematic when you need to tap something on the edges of the screen. Plus I keep accidentally touching screen when holding the phone.

I’ve got to ask, who the fuck cares? How is this even news?

funnystuff97 ,

cool, but what about removable batteries

Samsung: no we cant hear you.

Also Samsung:

That’s seriously my top contender for my next phone right now, and it’s a model more than a year old. But it’s the only 1 of 2 available phones on the market with 5g, a removable battery, and an SD card slot. Fucking baffles me.

Critical_Insight ,

Yeah but unlike Fairphone this actually comes with a headphone jack aswell. It was an easy decision for me since there literally was no alternative. Been happy with it so far.

Whirlybird ,

No one is going to make them with a removable battery. They will however make them easily replaceable, which they already are.

They are not permanently glued in anymore? When did they make the change?

Whirlybird ,

Isopropyl alcohol and heat removes them just fine. Watch some of the jerryrigeverything teardowns.

So permanently glued still, gotcha.

Whirlybird , (edited )

You have an odd definition of permanent. I guess the screen is permanently glued down too?

Jerryrigeverything takes the battery out on these phones easily. People already replace the batteries in them. How is that possible if they’re permanently glued in?

KidsTryThisAtHome ,

And bigger batteries, and headphone jacks, and SD card slots, and front facing speakers, and the magnetic stripe thing for Samsung pay. I miss all that shit, and even the ir blaster for that matter. Phones used to be so cool, like I seriously don’t care if my phone is a few nanometers thicker if it actually makes use of the space

I love thin phones! It makes them feel like regular phones once I put a case on them. Lol

Haziiieeeeeee ,

Gasp! Thinner you say! **STOP THE PRESSES! **

stardust ,

And…the camera will be hyped up as super amazing!

EddieTee77 ,

And this processor will be better than last year… The best one yet

Pons_Aelius ,

But the battery cannot be replaced without huge effort and they will stop updates after two years...so it will be e-waste in 24 months anyway.

Just in time to buy the S26.

Pons_Aelius ,

Is thin bezels a thing that anyone, outside handset reviewers, actually care about?

holycrap ,

The people tasked with making them smaller care. To the extent that it impacts their paycheck anyway.

Whirlybird ,

If it makes the phone smaller like it did with the iPhone then I’m all for it.

Pons_Aelius ,

When has a new model iphone been smaller than the previous one? SE models are not what I am talking about.

They didn't make the phone smaller, they made the screen larger.

Whirlybird ,

The iPhone 15 is smaller than the 14 series with the same size screen.

I happen to like having the edges of my fingers or hand touch the screen inadvertently every time I pick up my phone. Bonus points if it's unlocked and something unintended happens as a result.

fiat_lux ,

Marketers gotta market something, I guess.

tahoe ,

As a small phone enjoyer, I do! The thinner the bezels, the better the screen to body ratio is. It also looks better imo
