Actually, the ultrazoom photos are … pretty bad.

Granted, it packs 200MP instead of only 10MP, but there is room to improve.

Make the zoom sensor bigger, yo.

Dont make me come over there and straighten things out (again).

Yes, the phone has lots of features.

But Im not asking Samsung to take away features.

Im asking for some easy decisions on behalf of the users.

Samsung gives us too many options, and many enable features that sensibly should be enabled by default.

These Pixel phones may stick around until 2030

Like Intelligent Wi-Fi mode.

Who wants dumb Wi-Fi?

This doesnt need to be a setting.

Galaxy S6 edge

Look at the curve on that Galaxy S6 Edge Plus!

Wi-Fi can just be intelligent, by default.

Nobody is impressed by parameters.

The days of rooting Android phones and customizing every nook and pixel have passed.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 was curved on the back, trust me

Samsung needs to simplify, because the interface has grown complex beyond comprehension.

Samsung needs to heed the call for longevity.

Its time to promise longer support.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra should come with Samsungs promise of seven years of major OS updates.

Seven years of Android.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra will ship withAndroid 14and it should retire with Android 21 in the year 2030.

When theGalaxy Note 5came out, there was also a version without the pen.

Okay, not exactly a Galaxy Note: theGalaxy S6 Edge Plus.

TheGalaxy S6 Edgewas launched earlier that year, with theGalaxy S6.

Samsung also launched a bigger version of the Galaxy S6 Edge.

It was the same size as the Galaxy Note 5, and it had all of the same features.

It just didnt have a pen inside.

Unfortunately, Samsung didnt give us a bigger battery.

Instead, the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus was thinner than the Note 5.

I dont want a thinner Ultra, I want a bigger battery.

Give me a 6,000 mAh battery inside, instead of a pen.

5. iMessage.

Its time for Samsung to give up the good fight.

Samsung, you won the battle, now retire and give up the war.

The internet tool Wars.

The web client Wars live on in Samsung phones.

The sad truth is that Samsung Internet is good.

Its as fast as Chrome.

It remembers passwords you keep stored with your Samsung account.

Its good, but so is Chrome.

We dont need two browsers.

Its confusing and unnecessary.

But dont stop with the browsers.

Samsung Internet online window isnt the only duplicate app, its just the only one worth lamenting.

Samsung has a duplicate app store, the Galaxy App Store, and it needs to go.

Its a horrible, poorly-curated mess.

It confuses users when it offers to update apps.

Samsung Notes app needs to go.

Samsung Gallery, Samsung Free (what even is that?!

), and all the other silly Samsung apps, they all need to go.

If theres a Google version of Samsungs app, the Samsung app needs to go.

All the junk must go.

Rumors saySamsung may use Samsung Exynos chips in the Galaxy S24.

That would be a huge mistake.

Samsung destroyed the reputation of its Exynos chipset when itcompletely passed on them for the Galaxy S23.

That sent the message that its own chips were not good enough for its best phones.

We need to hear how Exynos has improved.

Qualcomm offered no less whenit launched the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3chipset.

It would be a mistake for Samsung to drop a new Exynos on the world like a bombshell.

If it does happen, it better not happen to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

No matter how great Samsung may claim its next Exynos chipset will be.
