Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

[Zenduri]

Samsung frustrate me, They now have the S24 ultra with the 44mm Galaxy Watch 6 lte again. After i was told yesterday they dont have any stock so i went with the Watch 5 Pro lte and the pro buds 2.

Dont know if i should kick off and try and get them to change the free items (i have 1st gen buds already)

Wlecome to Samsung life.

Samsung Pay v Google Pay, is there a preference or does it not really matter? I've come from iPhone so I've never used either of those.

The 5 pro is said to have better battery life than the GW6

Anyone gone from an S22 to an S24? From what I can see, there really isn't much of an advance?

The regular s24. No nothing major. Brighter screen, a little better cams.

Yeah I saw. Still set on the fence trying to deside to sell it or not. Received the Ultra and Buds 2 pro today and got everything set up and done my cashback

EDIT: Really nice touch on my trade in they send you the bag and label and seems you can get royal mail to collect it for free.

I used to use Samsung pay, but my Tesco card never worked on it, so needed a 'curve' card as well.
Once Google wallet took my Tesco card, I use that now and ditched the Curve account.
Can't swipe up to open it, like you can with Samsung pay, but I just set Google pay on the bottom left thing on the lock screen, or power button double press on the home screen.

But overall, I don't think theres much difference

I'm still tempted, but my s21u is going strong still.
Wanted the Sony to be good, but looks like it's way to much money.
Could wait till later in the year and decide between the two

Ok thanks. I've just realised my bank doesn't support Samsung Pay, but does support Google Pay. Shame really as I liked the idea of Samsung wallet being all in one with everything else.

I did prompt me that I can use Curve which is a work around so I can still use Samsung wallet, but I've read it isn't regarded as safe, could be a security risk? Or is that bs?

Anyone tried the new Blackmagic camera app? From the devs of Davinci Resolve. It is really quite excellent as a professional camera app:

Don't know, I used it with no issues, I was using it at work and the occasional shop.
But I guess it's another way in!

Ok thanks, I'm going to use G pay and see how it goes.

When I upload photos that I've taken with my phone, the colour of the image becomes dull and loses vibrancy compared to what it actually looks like in my gallery. I've tried Imgur and others and still the same.

Am I doing something wrong? Not had this issue before on my previous phone.

HDR compatability.

The gallary app supports it. Most other platforms don't.

I prefer it, less apps on the phone!
