The S24 can do this (as a beta feature)
It all turned up, despite email saying watch and strap delayed til Feb 9
Interesting, let's see what arrives for me tomorrow, my order page says the same
Agreed, was really thinking about that or the OnePlus Open, one things that put me off on the 12 was the curved display, also cameras can be a bit hit and miss (not perfect here either) and also software but looks like a very very good phone and a lot of bang for your buck

I've not seen the day one update either. Any clues what version it's meant to be?
The Joy of installing banking apps

Nobody has, it's vapourware at present.
May I ask, if camera is not as good as pixel 8 pro, what makes you prefer the s24u? I always wanted to try the pixel phone but kind of 'stucked' in a samsung galaxy ecosystem at the moment
, but always wonder if it's greener on the other side. the fact that samsung x google collab rather than fight each other, makes me still comfortable with samsung phones+watch etc for now.

Glad they include 2 screen protectors, the first one had a tiny spec of dust under it that was driving me mad.

We also use okta for verification, managed to get it setup straight away with no issues.

I know it's easier than ever before, but there's so much faff changing a phone over.
Banking app's are one of the worst.

iPhone will always be better because they have a bunch of extra sensors for it, hence the large cutout at the top of the screen. I've personally always preferred finger prints anyway so I'm fine with that
the samsung provided free screen protector are rubbish. Just wasted both , bubbles galore
watched this video too, did not help
will have to go without a screen protector
why could samsung not just include one attached like they did on S21+
What are the options ? take it to a samsung store ?

Meh, was let down by DPD. Had an original time of 1418-1518, when they blew past that I had an email to say it was delayed, but don't worry it'll be before 1648, then they just went radio silent when they missed that.
The guy really must have had a hard day. I'm sure it'll be here tomorrow.

And so begins my entire evening of setting back up biometrics, checking every single app, setting all my custom notification tones back in apps that don't backup those settings to the cloud (most do), setting the mobile petrol payment apps back up....
Funnily enough though the main apps like Microsoft Authenticator all pulled down and restored my 2FA codes perfectly as part of the initial backup and restore via Smart Switch, not seen that before last year as had to manually restore via the MSA app from the MS cloud.

Pixel has the best camera in the business(most of the time but not by much) , s23u/s24u are also very good with the main issues being shutter lag (appears to have improved a lot on the 24 ) and then colour accuracy.May I ask, if camera is not as good as pixel 8 pro, what makes you prefer the s24u? I always wanted to try the pixel phone but kind of 'stucked' in a samsung galaxy ecosystem at the moment
Will do some testing over the next few days
The S23u/24u are better phones though , once again not much in it tbh but just some little things .
When I was setting this up it made me realise we really have reached the limit or close to for the current phone designs . Processors are really fast, enough memory and storage . Cameras are all very good generally.
The excitement of getting a new phone has worn off on me, this is more due to the above and the fact I tend to buy the latest and greatest Samsung then swap it out for the Pixel .
For people being sensible and not changing their phone once a year this is an incredible jump for them
At this stage both brilliant phones and really down to preference and cost
