Really? You mean like when the S23, S23+ and S23U all used the Qualcomm SD8G2 in all markets everywhere, worldwide?
Is that how you mean “Qualcomm makes the companies that use their chips only use them in the US since it’s a US company?”
Really? Was the S23 series worse than the S22 series?
The rumor I’ve read about in many locations is that the S24U will have flat glass, not curved.
“…the Galaxy S24 SALES ARE LOWER than predicted”
No, open your eyes and read, that’s what SALES ARE LOWER means. With this statement, OP is not saying PREDICTED sales are lower. OP is saying SALES ARE LOWER than predicted, where sales refers to something that is currently occurring or has occurred.
Again: Please explain how “…the Galaxy S24 sales are lower than predicted” when the Galaxy S24 series has not yet been officially announced let alone offered for sale anywhere in the world.
Exactly my point. Thank you.
“Global” implies everywhere in the world to me. The Exynos 2400 is rumored to be used in for the S24 and S24+ in the European and Asian markets only.

No, Apple phones never have performance issues. It’s usually because their users are holding the phone wrong…
“When the old ceo was there samsung was the best”
Do you have any idea how many people would same the same exact thing about Apple??
You will be far happier with the S23 if you are planning to keep it that long.
I was not happy with the overall performance of the A54 5G, returned it. Most of the time it was OK, but I noticed sporadic lag when scrolling through long complex web sites, gaming and some videos. I don’t upgrade often and tend to keep my phones for a long time, I don’t want a phone that lags at all right out of the box.
For me, I am looking at a S23+ or even a S24+ if the pre-order deals are good. If money is tight, I’d look at a refurbished flagship.
First off, it would be nice if you told us EXACTLY WHAT you are thinking of buying for 690.
Secondly, 690 WHAT? Dollars, Euros, Pound Sterling, Rupees, etc.
The devil is ALWAYS in the details.
It’s an expensive phone, so if you want to be sure, the correct Anker charger for the S23 series is on sale right now at Amazon, it is the Anker 313 and it’s only $17.99. If you want to fast charge, you’ll need a 5A cable, Anker 333 is a good choice.
It looks like the non-American variant of the S24 series is again going to have Exynos chips.
Except for the 24/U. That is rumored to have SD8G3 everywhere.
Right now, for $100 more you can buy a brand new factory unlocked S23/Ultra on Amazon. Personally, if you can spare $100, I’d go for the brand new Ultra over a refurb.
$919 is a pretty good price for the factory unlocked S23+/512, although is not a BF special price IMHO as it has been at the price several times in 2023. The only time it has been lower though has been back during the July Prime Day sale, when it sold for $819 to Prime members only. It has not sold for that low since.
While it MAY drop down that low for CyberMonday or during the time between Thanksgiving and New Years, it’s anybody’s call if it will. It would not surprise me if it did in 2024 in the months after the release of the S24+/512 though.
$919 is not a bad price at all, and the S23+ is a great phone, especially with 512 if you are like me and like to keep a lot of local files. But if your phone is dying right now, then it may be best for you to go for it today. Otherwise, if you can make it that long, take a shot on it dropping it $819 (or even waiting to see the pre-release deals on the S24+/512, which will likely include the 512 storage update free, plus perhaps a gift card). Good luck and have a happy Thanksgiving.
$799 is a great price for the factory unlocked S23+/256. The only time it has been lower has been back during the July Prime Day sale, when it sold for $749 to Prime members only. It has not sold for that low since.
While it MAY drop down that low for CyberMonday or during the time between Thanksgiving and New Years, it’s a long shot that it will. It would not surprise me if it did in 2024 in the months after the release of the S24+ though.
$799 is a great price, and the S23+ is a great phone. I say if you are impatient, or really want a new phone soon, go for it. We’re only talking $50 here, and you will be very happy with the S23+. Otherwise, take a shot on it dropping it $749 (or even waiting to see the pre-release deals on the S24+). Good luck and have a happy Thanksgiving.
$324.99 is the lowest price the factory unlocked A54 5G has EVER been on Amazon. While it’s possible it MIGHT drop lower for Cyber Monday or between Thanksgiving and New Years if Amazon eds up with a glut of them, I don’t think it would be very much.
My advice to you is that if you really want this phone, now is an excellent time to purchase it, it probably will not get very much better in 2023. I would if I were you. Have a happy holiday!
No, sorry, not obvious at all.
