Q & A

What are some key points Volkan makes about the Galaxy S24 series pricing?
-Volkan points out that the Galaxy S23 Ultra launched last year around 44,000 TL in Turkey, but the Galaxy S24 Ultra starts at around 81,000 TL this year. He questions why the price has almost doubled despite no major increase in dollar/euro prices.
What does Volkan say about the titanium frame of the Galaxy S24?
-Volkan says Samsung claims the S24 has a titanium frame, but further investigation revealed it's actually aluminum with a titanium overlay, not a fully titanium frame like the Xiaomi 14 Pro.
How does the Exynos 2400 compare to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 according to Volkan?
-Volkan cites Antutu, Geekbench, and 3DMark results showing the Exynos 2400 scoring 26% lower in Antutu, 6-13% lower in Geekbench, and unable to complete 3DMark testing, indicating poorer performance vs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
What happened to the optical zoom capability in the Galaxy S24 series?
-Volkan points out the S23 Ultra had 10x optical zoom but the S24 Ultra is reduced to 5x optical zoom, questioning why Samsung reduced the optical zoom capability.
What does Volkan say about the lack of Gold color option in the S24 series?
-Volkan feels the Gold color was one of Samsung's best and questions why they removed it in the S24 series, saying they should have been more aggressive with colors.
What does Volkan suggest about Exynos chips in Turkey?
-Volkan suggests Samsung should offer Snapdragon models in Turkey too, even if they costextra, so people aren't forced to buy Exynos if they don't want to.
How does Volkan compare mid-range Xiaomi charging to the S24 series?
-Volkan shows a Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ that includes 67W charging out of the box, while the S24 Ultra limits charging speed to 25W without buying a separate 45W charger.
What happened to the Galaxy J, F, and M series phones?
-Volkan questions why Samsung killed off these popular budget phone series that were big sellers.
Why doesn't Samsung sell the M series in stores according to Volkan?
-Volkan doesn't understand why Samsung only sells the M series online, preventing customers from seeing and touching them in stores.
What does Volkan say about artificial intelligence in the S24?
-Volkan argues the AI features are nothing new - even Google Photos can identify objects, so AI alone doesn't justify the S24's high pricing.

Keywords

💡Samsung Galaxy S24 smartphone series

This refers to Samsung's newest flagship smartphone lineup for 2024. The video discusses the pricing, features, and criticisms around this new series of premium phones. The script suggests the S24 series is overpriced compared to predecessors like the S23, with questionable changes like lower resolution zoom camera.

💡Exynos processor

Samsung uses its own Exynos processors in Galaxy phones sold in some regions like Turkey, instead of the more popular Snapdragon chips used in US models. The video compares the Exynos 2400 in S24 to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, finding Exynos significantly weaker in benchmarks.

💡Pricing strategy

A major theme is Samsung's pricing of the S24 series. The script argues the prices are much higher than predecessors despite similar specs, matching Apple's overpricing strategy. It questions why Samsung increased prices so much in the Turkish market especially.

💡Camera specifications

The video critiques the S24 camera changes like lower optical zoom (5x vs 10x on S23 Ultra). It suggests the cameras are a downgrade vs the S23 series, while Samsung promotes AI features that are already available on cheaper phones.

💡Battery and charging

The S24 lineup has 25W fast charging, which the video calls inadequate for an expensive flagship. It notes how budget phones like Poco now include faster charging, while Samsung removed chargers from the S24 box.

💡Build materials

Samsung touts a titanium frame for improved durability, but the video questions if it's real titanium or just a coating. This ties into criticism that Samsung uses marketing hype without real benefits.

💡AI and software features

Samsung promotes new AI capabilities like object recognition as major S24 selling points. But the video demonstrates similar features already present in free apps like Google Lens, suggesting the AI hype is unwarranted.

💡Color options

While praising the new S24 colors overall, the video calls out Samsung for removing a popular gold color option this generation. It suggests being more aggressive with color options to stand out.

💡Mid-range smartphones

The video contrasts Samsung's high S24 prices against Chinese brands like Xiaomi dramatically undercutting them in mid-range segments. It warns Samsung risks falling behind if it ignores competitive threats.

💡Customer perspective

A core message is that Samsung ignores the customer perspective, prioritizing profits and competing with Apple rather than offering real benefits. The script highlights areas like pricing and Exynos processors where consumer choice is restricted.

Highlights

Researchers developed a new technique to create 3D bioprinted blood vessels using collagen and human endothelial cells.

The bioprinted vessels closely mimic the native vascular morphology and demonstrate excellent mechanical properties for tissue engineering applications.

This new method allows researchers to bioprint stable and perfusable vascular conduits up to centimeter scale which can potentially be used for regenerative medicine.

The study found that collagen type I scaffolds facilitated high cell viability and were optimal for 3D bioprinting of blood vessel constructs.

Immunofluorescence and SEM imaging confirmed successful endothelialization of the luminal surface of the bioprinted vessels.

Mechanical testing showed the 3D bioprinted vessels have similar tensile strength and strain at failure compared to native blood vessels.

This bioprinting technique allows precise control of vessel geometry, branches, diameter, wall thickness, and cell distribution.

The bioprinted vascular constructs could potentially provide a platform for disease modeling, drug screening, and regenerative therapies.

Limitations of the study include testing only short vessel segments, need to mature printed vessels in bioreactors, and validation in an in vivo model.

Overall, this 3D bioprinting method represents an important step toward fabricating functional vascular grafts for clinical applications.

Researchers discussed how 3D bioprinting technology has evolved rapidly and shows great promise for engineering artificial tissues and organs.

Multidisciplinary collaboration between biologists, engineers, and physicians is critical to continue innovating bioprinting techniques and materials for regenerative medicine.

Future areas of research include improving vascularization of thicker, more complex tissues, integrating sensors, and bioprinting transplantable tissues customized to patient anatomy.

Regulatory challenges for clinical translation of bioprinted tissues include ensuring safety, sterility, immunogenicity, and manufacturability to required standards.

The study demonstrated progress in bioprinting perfusable vascular networks, but significant work remains to create fully functional tissues and organs suitable for surgical implantation.
