Hi Guys,

i'm sorry to tell you that if you bought the S24 or S24 plus phone, you have been fooled.

Samsung didn't  name the Australian version of the S24 or s24 Plus something else when it should, for example S24e, e would stand for EXYNOS 2400, that's the CPU Samsung decided to use here in Australia. That's what is inside your phone, if you bought it.

But if you are just a guy, a normal guy who wants a Samsung Galaxy S24, and went to the shop thinking you were getting a fantastic phone, then in your mind you did!

Not really!, Inside you have the Exynos 2400 CPU, something that you dont know, or dont care.

In America on the other hand they used the Snapdragon G8 Gen 3 as the CPU which is faster, runs better, performs better, better battery life, no problems with mobile network signal, and the list goes on.

The Exynos 2400 on the other hand runs hot, battery life is worst than the one used in America, the signal is terrible, I am getting 2 bars. When i switch the SIM card to the iphone I am getting full bars, same location.

I am one of the ones that 'by mistake' i was fooled and i got the S24 Plus from JBHIFI on 27th of May 2024.

I wanted a flagship phone, I looked at the JBHIFI website and listed all those beautiful S24 Ultra phones. I read all the specs, including the CPU (The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3) which is the latest and fastest of all. I wanted that!!!!! Then I thought wow this phone is amazing and I want it but a bit too big and too heavy, so then I thought I will get the s24 Plus instead as it is a little bit smaller and lighter, so I bought it.

I got home, i downloaded the 'Device Info' app from the Google app store just to find out that the phone I 've got had the inferior CPU Exynos 2400, which runs hot, has bad signal, and performs slower than the "real" S24 Plus.

Seriously Samsung!, what are you doing? why are you doing it? to cut costs? at our expense. I have saved a lot of money to buy a great phone and I feel I have been fooled because i didnt get what I was expecting from you Samsung.

You dont care about the user experience. You are releasing 2 different phones with the same name. That's not acceptable, as I have paid the full amount for the inferior one. It feels like someone is stealing from us, or scamming. I tis not a good feeling.

I want my money back, i want a refund because your advertisement is super confusing and if people are not careful they will end up like me easily.

Well done Samsung for confusing the hell out of us, and give us a under performing CPU on the same phone, that's like stealing.

time will tell if with 7 years of updates they can fine tune the phone to a better user experience fixing all those annoying issues.
i have it, didnt want it in the first place, im not returning it anymore, im am giving it a chance. i believe Samsung will fix the poor mobile network signal with upcoming updates.
regardless of the issues with tbe Exynos 2400, tbe phone feels top premium in tbe flagship range, snappy, smooth, and not holding a brick

It's not a lie lol. Read what you're getting. It's your fault for not reading. Besides, Exynos 2400 is not like previous Exynos chips. It's better than 8 gen 2, and almost as good as 8 gen 3

Read it. Your problem is Exynos is too bad. But you're wrong. It's barely worse than 8 gen 3. Proven by many tests. You probably got a faulty model
