Thanks for the detailed review! Two things confuse me: most sites say the RAM is 3.1 version even in Pro models, but here it’s 4.0. Also, a blogger from an Arab country tested the S24 with games and it shut down after 8 minutes, while Apple did better but lowered framerate, and Pixel 9 ProXL ran fine for 30 minutes. So, are benchmark tests useful if real tests show failures? Seems many phones optimize for benchmarks, but Google focuses on real user experience. Just my thought after using P8 Pro and S24 Ultra.
