Any reason to go 4K60 over 4K30? A personal preference thing? I always found having the higher frames gives it that soap opera feel which I dislike.
Also where is the link to your settings? I remember seeing you post them in the past

fps is smoother, higher bitrate, just looks better all round, though 30fps lets in more light so may be better for low light situations. You can also slow down 0fps footage for cool action showsshots without juddering as it would slow down to 30fps instead of 15fps.

This has always been the case with most phones, as there's a lot of things going on during video calls etc.
I had the issue of battery getting drained super fast after my first charge. Was worse than my note 10 plus. But has improved a lot since it charged the second time.
My plan is to keep this phone until it runs out if support. So what's that? Almost 7 years? Might go to maximum battery protection and use 80% of the battery in a week or so.

Android phones learn your usage pattern over the course of a week or so before the battery settles to an optimum usage state so that's normal.
The whole 80% thing is unnecessary unless you fully intend on keeping it for 7 years, but come year 3-4 it will be ancient anyway and the battery at that point will still be kicking great.
Regular backups via FreeFileSync is excellent, not far off 200MB/sec on this phone vs the 140 odd from the S23 Ultra is nice to see.

I do intend to keep it that long yeah. My Note 10+ 5G is like at least 5 years old now and if not for lack of Android and security updates still plenty good. Phones just are not improving at the pace they used to. Back in the day I would upgrade every year or two.
I mean I might upgrade before if I see a deal again like I did with this one. But if not happy to keep it. One of the other reasons to upgrade was also the better cameras. Night time low light shots are like day and night better.
Great shout with FreeFileSync. Will use it

Any of you guys give from an S21Ultra to the s24ultra can comment (objectively) on camera performance?
Specs don't look much different.
But keen to know if 5x is usable (as 10x really wasn't) and particularly any improvement in 1x/wide.

I use quad lock on mine for my mountain bike. Never come off (and that's with me coming off)

I'm still using the charger from my s20, when we used to get the stuff we need with a phone.

Hi guys,
Not sure if it's something I've done but since today, when I get a call on Bluetooth, I get the callers name read out to me - useful to many I'm sure but not for me. Any way to stop it?
Was thinking it might have been from an app update maybe?

Will give it a try and see how it goes I suppose.
