I hope they don't remove the side bar, I use this all the time. It was a feature they added with the curved screen.
Man of Honour
Side panel? That will remain and has nothing to do with the curved edges really and hasn't done for quite some time, it's a basic feature of OneUI.
Snapdragon X75 is a cool modem, now comes with 5G Advanced with AI features to support better signal connectivity and data sustained speeds etc:

I think we will also see the biggest camera gains with that 50MP primary, that's a large aperture improvement which means considerably better low light performance. I hope this also means that finally 4k 60fps will give the ability to switch lenses which currently is only possible when recording at 1080p 60fps.

S24 Ultra is Snapdragon globally, so yes X75. The non Ultras will use Exynos in Europe.

I would not be too concerned about the new Exynos for the S24 though, it's a complete rework.

I'll stick to the matte frame finish as shiny frames are annoying. This means probably need to once again buy the samsung online exclusive colours as none of the standard ones come with matte frames.
Man of Honour
It's more the Samsung programme where you pay a fixed amoutn each month and every year they send you the latest flagship. Maybe that's the best way to go about it

Does anyone recall how quickly devices usually ship after announcement when bought from Samsung? I have an S22 Ultra via EE which I didn't get until Feb since they seemed a bit slower to get the devices shipped.
I think s24 is expected to be delivered early Feb. So a couple of weeks at least from the announcement
Man of Honour
Maybe Samsung will do an empty box special to see how many they can fool.3.5mm , sd card , no charger, maybe they'll stop including the display or batteries next ?
I'll probably keep my S23U but might get carried away on the day and order one.

It's my birthday in early Feb so it would be nice to get it then. I expect I'll get an official case and screen protector for my birthday to go with it. I like the clean look the official cases give.
I'm intending to keep my S23U, but sometimes the trade-in deals and offers are tempting. I do partly regret getting the Ultra last year, I think I would much prefer a smaller device. But understand that would mean a compromise on some areas if I end up doing that.
I am on S23U, might go for the S24U if upgrade cost is around £200 or less including topcashback, codes, resell old phone, £150 trade in on a brick nokia phone etc etc. It cost me about £200 to go from S22U to S23U in the end,
Man of Honour
Have an S23U but if there's decent trade in deals I could be convinced; I've saved a fortune in the past buying on Day 1 with various discount codes, etc - I do like the look of that flat screen.
