I have been planning to buy S24 and have gone through numerous reviews to decide whether to buy the Exynos variant available in India or to get the SD version from HK. It is no doubt that SD 8Gen3 is the more superior chip, with 10~20% better battery efficiency and better thermal management. However, importing from HK comes with the problems of nullified warranty, 2 missing network bands (n26(850) and B17(700)), and it not getting accepted for samsung upgrade program for my future purchases. 

I'm a regular user who uses 5G most of the time, watches YT/Netflix, browses internet & social media apps and does regular calls. I expect my phone to give atleast 6hrs SoT for such usage. For a user like me, is it worth going through the hastle of getting the snapdragon version from HK or should I just settle for less with exynos 2400?

Would be happy to hear real life experiences of people using both the variants. Thanks!

I'm getting s24 at 4k lesser than s23 with all the bank and exchange offers. With s24 having 7 years of os updates, I felt going for s23 is probably not the right move

Never buy exynos and only buy s24 ultra.

Buy only from India.

Stay away from Exyno2400, especially S24 Base model.
Heating issue, poor network strength in city, poor battery life. Due to these issues, you can't enjoy or use flagship features.
So go for S24Ultra, I fell in the trap of S24's lucerative biased YT reviews.
