Samsung Galaxy S24 Series Surpasses iPhone in Customer Satisfaction, Says PerfectRec Report
Highlights
- Galaxy S24 series achieves higher customer satisfaction than iPhone.
- Over 90% of Galaxy S24 base model customers give five-star reviews.
- iPhone 15 series sees a drop in satisfaction due to battery and heating issues.
- PerfectRec to monitor Galaxy S24 satisfaction as more reviews come in.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series has achieved higher customer satisfaction levels than its Apple counterpart for the first time, according to a report by PerfectRec.
Garnering glowing reviews from early adopters, the Galaxy S24 lineup has set a new benchmark for Samsung and also outpaced the latest iPhone series in terms of customer approval.
Stellar Reviews for Galaxy S24 Series
PerfectRec’s analysis, which aggregates user-generated reviews from Google, reveals an impressive 91% of Galaxy S24 base model customers awarded the device five stars.
The Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra weren’t far behind, with 84% and 88% of customers respectively giving them top marks.
However, Samsung S24 devices as of late have been at the centre of a display-issue storm with early adopters not very happy with some of the faults arising in the screen.
This could mean that the ratings might fall a bit in the coming months.
A Dip in iPhone Satisfaction
Conversely, the report highlights a downturn in satisfaction for the iPhone 15 Pro series, with ratings falling below those of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro.
January 2024 was the month that saw a notable decline in customer satisfaction for the latest pro iPhones.
This could be due to some initial heating issues being reported with the 15 Pro’s Titanium build, an overclocked SoC, and no clear outlets for thermal management.
This inturn lead to disappointment over battery life.
Comparative Analysis
The Galaxy S24 series not only surpassed its predecessors with a notable jump in five-star reviews but also achieved a clean sweep against the iPhone 15 lineup.
The comparison shows a stark difference in customer satisfaction: 91% for the Galaxy S24 compared to 76% for the iPhone 15, 84% for the Galaxy S24+ versus 77% for the iPhone 15 Plus, and 88% for the Galaxy S24 Ultra against 74% for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
A Turning Point for Samsung
Analyzing PerfectRec’s report you can begin to understand the shifting dynamics in the smartphone market, with Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series emerging as a formidable competitor to the iPhone, something that has not happened in a long time.
However, it’s also important to note that the Galaxy S24 series was only released in January, resulting in a smaller pool of reviews compared to the iPhone 15 and Pro models.
Consequently, PerfectRec has committed to keeping a close eye on any shifts in customer satisfaction levels for Samsung’s latest smartphones as more reviews accumulate over time.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Series Grapples with More Display Issues, Company Remains Silent
Highlights
- Users report “washed-out” displays on Galaxy S24 series devices.
- Samsung to introduce “vividness slider” for color saturation adjustments.
- Complaints of grainy textures and horizontal bars at low brightness.
- Samsung offers troubleshooting steps and device replacements for affected users.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series has, as of late, encountered its fair share of hurdles shortly after launch last month.
Despite its flagship status, early adopters are facing some key issues that detract from the premium experience expected from such a high-end device.
Initial Complaints and Samsung’s Response
Users of the Galaxy S24 series took to various forums, including Reddit, to voice their concerns over what appeared to be a “washed-out” display.
Samsung initially stood by the design choice, suggesting that the display’s appearance was intentional.
However, the company swiftly acknowledged the feedback by announcing plans to introduce a “vividness slider” feature in a forthcoming update, aimed at allowing users to adjust the screen’s color saturation to their preference.
Emerging Display Problems
The display issues, however, extend beyond colour saturation.
A significant number of users have reported a grainy texture on their screens, especially noticeable against dark or gray backgrounds in low-light conditions.
Additionally, unsightly horizontal bars have been observed, becoming more apparent at lower brightness levels, particularly under 10% brightness.
This problem echoed by hundreds on Reddit, has naturally led to a lot of speculation regarding its cause.
The main culprit that many are pointing towards is a potential hardware flaw.
Given the complexity and novelty of the panels used in the Galaxy S24 series, some users have had their devices replaced by Samsung.
This is definitely indicative of the fact that the company acknowledges the possibility of a hardware malfunction.
This is also not the first time Samsung’s flagship models have faced display issues; similar complaints were made about the Galaxy S23 series.
Troubleshooting and Next Steps
For users experiencing these display anomalies, Samsung has provided a method to diagnose the issue.
By dialing #0# on their device, users can cycle through various colours to detect any irregularities such as gradients, grains, or lines.
Additionally, third-party apps like Test My Screen can offer further insight into the extent of the display problems.
We also encourage customers facing these issues to reach out to Samsung support for assistance.
With the company already taking steps to address the colour saturation issue, it remains to be seen how it will tackle these newly surfaced display challenges.

OpenAI Unveils ChatGPT Memory Features for Enhanced User Experience
Highlights
- ChatGPT to remember user instructions for tailored interactions.
- Memory feature available to both free and paid ChatGPT users.
- Strict privacy protocols ensure user data is safeguarded.
- Temporary Chat option for privacy-conscious conversations.
OpenAI has introduced a new set of memory features to ChatGPT which, in a nutshell, means that the AI chatbot is finally going to remember specific instructions you tell it to.
It will retain information from conversations and is likely to enrich future discussions.
OpenAI explains in a blog post:
“ChatGPT can now carry what it learns between chats, allowing it to provide more relevant responses … As you chat with ChatGPT, you can ask it to remember something specific or let it pick up details itself.
ChatGPT’s memory will get better the more you use it and you’ll start to notice the improvements over time.”
It’s not hard to picture scenarios where a ChatGPT with memory could come in handy.
If, say, you wanted ChatGPT to recall you live in the suburbs and so prefer driving versus public transit directions, you can simply tell it that fact (e.g. “Remember that I live in the suburbs and mostly drive.”).
Or if you wanted its advice about child-rearing to pertain to younger kids because you have a kindergartner, you could highlight this for it (e.g. “Remember I have a kindergartner.”).
“You can also turn it off entirely. We are rolling out to a small portion of ChatGPT free and Plus users this week to learn how useful it is. We will share plans for broader roll out soon,“ OpenAI said in a statement.
“ChatGPT’s memory will get better the more you use it and you’ll start to notice the improvements over time”.
The users can turn off memory at any time. While memory is off, they won’t create or use memories.
“If you want ChatGPT to forget something, just tell it. You can also view and delete specific memories or clear all memories in settings,” the company informed.
If you’d like to have a conversation without using memory, use temporary chat.
“Temporary chats won’t appear in history, won’t use memory, and won’t be used to train our models,” said the company.
GPTs will have their own distinct memory. Builders will have the option to enable memory for their GPTs.
“Like your chats, memories are not shared with builders. To interact with a memory-enabled GPT, you will also need to have memory on,” said OpenAI.
Key Features and User Control
This new memory feature will be accessible to both free and paid users of ChatGPT.
Users will get the ability to command the AI to remember or forget specific details, ensuring an interaction that respects user preferences and privacy.
For users seeking more direct control over this feature, OpenAI has provided options within the Settings under Personalisation and Manage Memory, where information can be edited or the feature turned off entirely.
A key aspect of this feature is the strict privacy protocol ensuring that memories are not shared between users and builders or between individual bots.
Each GPT will maintain its separate Memory, safeguarding user data.
It is clear that OpenAI has put privacy at the forefront of this new update.
Temporary Chat and Global Roll-out
There’s also going to be a Temporary Chat option, offering users the ability to engage in conversations without the memory feature, akin to using an incognito mode in web browsing.
This ensures that certain interactions do not influence future conversations or contribute to the training of OpenAI’s LLMs, providing users with flexibility and control over their privacy.
ChatGPT and Contextual Memory
This innovation is part of OpenAI’s continuous efforts to enhance its large language models (LLM) and a gradual rollout of this feature is currently underway, targeting ChatGPT users and Plus subscribers.
Previously, OpenAI introduced Custom Instructions, allowing users to tailor ChatGPT responses according to personal preferences or requirements.
Here are examples of what you can now ask ChatGPT to remember
If you tell ChatGPT that you prefer meeting notes with bolded headlines and information in bulleted format, ChatGPT will remember and recap meetings that way.
Let the bot know that your child likes sea otters and the color purple, and it may just generate a purple birthday card with a sea otter illustration when you ask it to create a birthday card.
The new feature is also helpful for businesses.
ChatGPT can be used to remember your tone, voice, and format preferences.
Memories in the ChatGPT “workspace” are excluded from training AI models, the company says.
GPTs — or customized chatbots that users can create — will also have a distinct memory.
With memory enabled, Book GPT (which recommends your next book) will remember your preferences, like favorite genres, and will tailor recommendations based on that information.
FAQs
What are the new ChatGPT Memory Features introduced by OpenAI?
OpenAI has launched memory features for ChatGPT, enabling the AI to retain information from user interactions.
This allows for more personalized and context-aware conversations, enhancing the overall user experience.
How can users control the ChatGPT Memory Features?
Users have the option to directly command ChatGPT to remember or forget specific details.
Additionally, settings for managing memory preferences, including turning off the feature, are accessible within the ChatGPT interface under Personalisation and Manage Memory.
Are the ChatGPT Memory Features secure?
Yes, OpenAI has implemented strict privacy protocols to ensure that memories are not shared between users and bot builders, or among individual bots. Each GPT maintains its separate memory, ensuring user data privacy.
What is the Temporary Chat feature in ChatGPT?
Temporary Chat allows users to interact with ChatGPT without utilizing the memory feature, similar to an incognito mode in web browsers.
This option ensures that certain interactions don’t affect future conversations or contribute to the training of OpenAI’s LLMs.
When will the ChatGPT Memory Features be available to users?
The memory features are rolling out gradually to ChatGPT users, including both free and Plus subscribers.
OpenAI plans to extend these features to a broader audience in future updates.
