    Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

    It's a cracking phone, only thing that still lets it down is the lag on human subjects, it has improved a little with the update. I find myself still preferring my Pixel 8 pro for photos of kids etc and moving subjects, that isn't without it's own challenges though

    Found this which may help with the shutter lag, also read that using the floating button also reduces the lag. https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s24-ultra-shutter-lag-3429459/

    I used family link with my kids pixel phones , works incredibly well but won't support IOS. Their iPads are really old so we will probably swap them out with Android devices (Samsung galaxy tabs)

    Xiaomi 13 Global 12/256 update to HyperOS ruined the screen colors: white fog

    I don't own one but was looking at 14 ultra, my only concern was the OS which the comments here appear to have confirmed, especially the Nova Launcher part. I hope.it manages to get resolved for you , I won't be jumping on the bandwagon

    Just out of interest how comes you didn't order from Xiaomi direct? They give you £50 , free camera grip worth £170 and table worth 300

    Good advice, I do like the grip option. Got to do someone research on the cameras

    Anyone looking at the Xiaomi 14 ultra , appears to be quite a good pre order with free camera grip /attachment with extra 1500ohm battery . Free Tablet, looks like a decent phone also and the OS appears to have matured with HyperOS

    Excellent to see the update is out, I found a thread on Samsung that appears to have improved the camera for me and others Went into camera settings Set "Intelligent Optimisation" to minimum Turned off auto HDR (Camera assistant ) Turned off HEIC compression A lot faster for taking photos...

    Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

    Ultimately as long as they fix the camera issues in the next couple of updates that's the main thing. Other thing I noticed with my dog and my son's hair which are both dark and close to black is all details are lost , take the same photos with the Pixel 8 pro and it shows the shades and...

    Just took some photos of my kids also and same as, really poor and you can only hope it gets fixed soon. Taking photos of static objects like buildings outside can produce some great results but normal stuff i.e. kids, photos are not good

    Just decided to bump the resolution up to the full resolution, really makes a difference to the screen and quality IMO, I usually run at the default FHD+ but decided to move it up to QHD+. Let's see how bad it impacts the battery life

    Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

    Was just having a bad day and the Pixel 8 pro is very good so decided I didn't need the s24 ultra and to put the money back in the bank. Having dealt with the reality of people on eBay again and the hassle decided it's not worth it and they will probably just fix it It's mainly camera I have...

    Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

    Got really frustrated with my s24Ultra ( not entirely sure why ) and ended up putting it on eBay. After two hours of having every idiot under the sun try to lowball with offers and generally waste my time, I withdrew the sale and kept the phone . Worst case, if this year's ends up being a dog...

    Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

    I'm still amazed they shipped the camera as it is, it's a tweak of what they've had and surely they realised people would have kicked off. Having used for 3 weeks, biggest challenges are : - Shutter lag on anything moving (not running or fast). Played around with all the settings but it's...
