Should be live for the weekend!

Worth swapping in a fold 4 for the ultra 24, I like the fold but miss the big screen of the ultras.
Anyone else doing something similar?

Mine paid out last week within a couple of days of receiving it. I suspect they have a lot of Watches to get through!

You're forgetting the simple fact there is a vivid and natural, the names are as it says, natural should be the calibrated standard, vivid is users preference, to dismiss this is absolutely baffling it's almost like smoke screen MP tactics, just avoid the obvious.
I don't think they are dismissing it, more so just trying to explain that natural is the most accurate colour profile, you'll see all colours as the originator of the media whether that be a picture or a video intended.
It's like Filmmaker mode on your TV, if you want the most accurate representation of how the director intended the content be consumed this is it.
Anyways they will most likely address it in an upcoming update.

There is nothing wrong with standards and a display calibrated so content is displayed the way the maker intends for it.
However, I can only assume these individuals moaning that people actually want to be able to have a different preset for their display are either not using Samsung and are possible iPhone users, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and previous Ultra models are a clear present of "Natural", which is as the name suggests, and then a "Vivid" mode, to gimp the "Vivid" mode to look more "natural" is quite stupid, literally the difference between Natural and Vivid is hardly anything, so either give users what they want or simply remove the "vivid" mode.
Summary - Samsung has two display modes - Natural & Vivid, Vivid is clearly not natural and to make it more "natural" doesn't make any sense what so ever.
Very conformist attitude I think from some of these individuals in here who feel like the phone maker should lock everything down.

Yep I'm completely aware of the bug which is why I said and has been confirmed they will address this in an upcoming update.
However, as someone who used vivid before on Samsung and now using natural, even when the bug is addressed I think I will continue using Natural. Last phone was a 15 pro max so personal preference I appreciate the natural profile.

What acool feature
Changing the 'Contrast' in the Developer Options to medium or high seems to help a little bit until the software bug is fixed. I'm quite happy with the colours on mine with medium contrast.
Sent mine on Friday and they received it today and also got an email saying they will be paying me today.
Off topic:Just a note that the DevCheck widget is only available if you buy the app, it's £3 and I save up Google Survey rewards to buy apps anyway so basically it's free like all apps end up being this way
Also check if you have access to the Play points perks. (play store>click on your profile>play points>perks)
You get a few points free every week, usually only a couple but can get upto 100/200/500/1000 depending on your level
Do you mean missing the small screen of the Ultra. I replaced my Fold 4 for S23U before replacing that for S24, pros and cons for both depending on your use case. I like the solidness of the S23/24 and the ability to use 100% of the screen when traveling, also the screen being glass is nicer than plastic.
Here's a hot take, I don't care about the director's intent. Not all directors are good directors and most of it is subjective. I tune it to what I find enjoyable. The same way I eq my music to my taste.

I tended to ignore play points as from early investigation into wtf they are, seems more rewards for in-app purchases like games and stuff? Even to this day having checked again, even though I have quite a few points etc, I have no idea what they are for as it's not entirely clear. You gain points for every £1 spent, you can them redeem them for ?stuff?
Man of Honour
Ahh I see! Now it becomes clearer, so just like survey rewards, this is just more passive credit points gained to redeem later when enough points build up.
Not really a hot take but just your preference lol
