So this little phone right here is the Samsung Galaxy S24
 regular. Just the S24, not the plus or the ultra and this is the one that is the smallest and most affordable in Samsung’s new flagship lineup. It offers the same powerful chip and many of the same features as the S24 Ultra but for a fraction of the price. But make no mistake, this is still undeniably a flagship and arguably the best flagship for most people to buy.

Additional review notes:
So first of all, even though this is the smallest, it is Now 6.2” instead of 6.1” and is definitely not a tiny phone by any means, but comparatively it is certainly more compact, weighing 28% less than the ultra.

Good for smaller hands, smaller pockets, or anyone not wanting 6.7” Plus 6.8” Ultra

My hands aren’t tiny but I still love small phones, and I also love boxy phones
Why I use the regular pro iphones instead of pro max

Boxier design!!!

Samsung finally made all three phones flat this year

The first compromise you will see here is the resolution at FHD+ but still 120Hz, dynamic amolde 2x with vision booster

Much like the Ultra, this comes in 4 colors Onyx Black, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet and Amber Yellow
But slightly different colors vs the ultra
 weirdly

CAMERAS
Same specs as last year - 12MP selfie, 12MP ultrawide, 50MP primary, 10MP 3x tele

AI Features
Samsung baked AI features into the phone, with 4 main ones that stood out to me
There is an AI button throughout the UI now

i) Circle to search
ii) Chat enhancement (translate, change tone, check spelling/grammar

  • Love that you made a dedicated video for base model. Almost all s series videos are only focused on the ultra models and its soo irritating that you cant get detailed and specific video for the regular ones.
  • The 7 years os update thing is the best thing that Google and Samsung have decided to go with. The Google-Samsung collaboration is finally unifying the Android world.
  • @silverxbladeX
    Thank you for focusing on the regular model. Everyone keeps reviewing the Ultra
  • @koreyb
    I'm so glad they're still making a phone small enough for my little hands and one that will easily fit into my front pocket. I'm so tired of huge phones.
  • @M_AbdullahArif
    S24 regular is underrated, while everyone just talks about the ultra which is just essentially the note reincarnate, seldom people mention the true S series which is the regular models and plus like s23/+ and s24/+ Thanks Mike for delivering us content about these ones. I was from the start only looking forward to the regular model given its size and other positives you mentioned. Other reviewers only pay attention to the ultra but for so many, ultra just isn't an option.
  • @BaraaTech
    Big love for the small S24! I actually did an extensive battery test on my S24 if you also wanna check it out.
  • @BaynesBlackWolf
    I preordered mine im so excited! Im transitioning from the s20 ultra to the regular s24. I have tiny hands and am looking forward to a smaller phone ❀❀

    When everyone went for MKBHD.. I came for Mike because Mike never disappoints 😀
  • @EmmetFardy
    One of the only phones released recently that is sized right. 6.2 to 6.5 inch displays are perfect. I wish more phones would get a little bit smaller.
  • @estacaotech
    Thanks for reviewing the little one, it was hard to find vĂ­deos talking about it.
  • @stuvius
    I have the regular s23 and it's by far the best phone I've ever had. I sold my iPhone 14 pro and got that one instead and I never looked back. Literally perfect form factor for me and very responsive with long battery life. Will be interesting to see if it got an upgrade with the s24
  • @xman3514
    i love s23.its small yet powerful.i think smaller phones will be a trend in future
  • @spacecadet76
    Thank you. I always like the smaller version of the flagship. A lot of the big reviewers don't do this one. Glad you did!
  • @aidanaidan8852
    I like how similar it looks to the iPhone, I’ve never really liked the look of Samsung phones but the flat edges make it seem a lot more premium.
  • @vinzrt
    Just the Video i Wanted. Finally someone Showcasing the regular s24. Hats off man :)

    The Samsung Galaxy Experience store in Kangnam, Seoul just put the s24 series phones out to try, today. Honestly, I think the Plus model will also do well. It isn't much smaller than the 24 Ultra (the thin clock line being the only difference in size), and has rounded corners. Was surprised that the 24's are quite a bit thinner in feel over the 23's. One thing I like about my s21 is that it's quite a bit thinner than the s22 and s23 base models and plus models are. It seems like they've gotten back to a thinner feel on the s24 base and plus models. Big win! To be honest, I do feel the 24 Ultra's screen has lost a bit of pop and dimensionality compared to the 23 Ultra. The 24 isn't bad, but I didn't feel wow'd by it, either. Actually, I was surprised that the colors didn't really stand out like I remember the s23 Ultra doing in the stores. I might pick up a used 23 Ultra and save $500. Nice phones, but for the money, a used 23 someone is dumping for a 24 will be a bargain. I run the s21 and still don't see a need to upgrade. The base 24 and plus here are Exynos. I did feel some warmth on the base 24 model, but not the 24+

    Thankyou for doing a solid review on the "regular" S24. So hard to find a review on the smaller size phones. Phone nerds don't always want a phablet!
  • @Silkl4sh
    I'm running small S23. Quite frankly I love it's form. It fits in my hand and fits everywhere. Battery life with S8G2 is great (though I had doubts and concerns prior to buying it).
