    It’s disingenuous to say, “oh it’s exactly the same phone”. It’s a narrow interpretation of “it’s the same design language and nothing revolutionary”. But compared to the S23 it’s a massive power overhaul on the processor. It has 12GB of ram. The screen is top notch LTPO, which the S23 didn’t have. The cameras are way improved, it can film 8K, which the S23 couldn’t. It has the toughest Gorilla screen to date. Sure, the changes year after year are nothing to write home about. But small incremental changes stack over time. The average person is keeping phones for 3 or more years. Compared to an S22 or S21, it’s a beast upgrade. I think those are the people they are marketing to, and it’s smart, no one sane is buying a new phone every single year and a lot of people value a new device over a refurbished or used one.
