Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

[screaming.dead]

Couldn't wait any longer for the £50 code so gone for a black 1tb ultra, trading my S23 ultra - £546.65 with the free watch through blue light.

I'm in the need of a new phone and I don't really know much about flagships at all. I'll likely be buying outright as I don't want to bother with a contract since I have a decent SIM only deal

I can get an S24 with a claim code for a free galaxy smart watch from Amazon for £799.

Is there anything else I should be considering at this price ?

While I have absolutely zero interest in ever purchasing an samsung phone again I am very interested in the display glass. Scratch resistant phones have been a very long time coming.

Whats codes did you use please?

I have a 10% friends discount and got lucky with a £50 launch code (instead of the case code they promised)

I used EPP, Watch Code, £50 and trade in. Ended up at £389 for S24 256GB.

 

[something daft already!!]

I'd rather see a Mohs hardness scale done on the screen. No doubt JerryRigEverything will do one at some point.

Is the Ultra worth it over the plus? It looks like main difference is the 200mp camera and the snapdragon chip.

But given the cost of the s24+, I can't imagine the exonsys chip is that bad...?

Yeah I used the £50 voucher with no issues.

Thanks £629 when the voucher is applied looks the cheapest option then.

Sell the watch for say £200, making the S24 256Gb £430 (about half-price)

I bought an S23 ultra last year and down sized to the s23+, mainly because of the size of it being just too big for me to comfortable carry in a pocket, and secondly the round screen made it difficult to get decent screen protectors. The round screen is gone this year, so tempered glass is now an option, however it's still got square corners vs the rounded corners of the s24/s24+. Hope that helps? I wouldn't say I found the camera that amazing.

Whatever happened with satellite connectivity rumour, do they have it on S24U?

 

[Soulja]

Can anybody recommend a good brand for screen protectors? There are so many on amazon, and i have never heard of any of them! Also, are Spigen still good for cases?

 

[doodah]

I profressed I'm not upgrading but it looks like it's about £460 with trade in, could sell a couple of the free items and seen someone on HotUKDeals get £172 cash back with TCB. I'm exploring....

 

[nam]

got my price down to £673 for a S24+ with a trade-in for S21+ using the £50 code and the other code mentioned here and using the 5% off when usingbsamsung shop app. Will sell the watch 6 and band as I already have a watch 6 classic. Now the wait until the 24th

On paper the Exynos 2400 is superior to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 from last year but not quite as good as the 8 Gen 3.

Outright performance has not typically been the issue, it's battery life / overheating etc

That's for sure, obviously there have been no tests done yet but we'll know soon enough.

While i am not over impressed with the colour choices this year, I caved & ordered an S24 Ultra.

I went for the 512GB Online exclusive Orange.

What was your colour & size choice?

Samsung. I bought two for my S22, the 2nd one is still going strong after all this time.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread I used the 'Perks at work' website which gives a variety of different discounts but then usually gives less trade in value but this time it gave the same as Samsung which made it a better deal but then you can't get TCB as far as I know.

You can get TCB to work. Add your items to the EPP store, open TCB Samsung website. Copy and paste EPP link into TCB Samsung window so they use the same cookie session.

I wouldn't say one is better than the other, they just look a bit different. 100x isnt really something you use to take any real photos anyway, the main improvements are from 5x-10x which are actually usable
