I decided I'd buy a Galaxy S24 a year ago, and here's why I'm still waiting

Woman holding clock in front of her face.

I can tell you the exact day I decided I’d be buying the Samsung Galaxy S24, if I check my bank statements. Here it is, on February 17, when I plunked down cash for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. I knew that a year later I’d be buying the next big Galaxy. Now, I’m waiting for the Galaxy S24 not because I’m a Samsung super-fan, but because I know the company well and I have an idea this will be worth the wait. 

When it comes to yearly upgrades, Samsung isn’t like Apple. Apple upgrades are predictable and smooth. The iPhone 15 was a small, yet meaningful upgrade over the iPhone 14. It got more megapixels in the camera. A brighter screen. That USB-C port is a big deal, but the rest of the phone world had USB-C. There were no additions that made it imperative to upgrade your older phone right away. No changes that upset the fans.
