Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

My trade-in is completed so I can do a full unboxing now. Was worried I might have to return the S24 as I sent in a dodgy trade-in.

Samsung screen protector installed perfectly (not my first rodeo, the trick is to make maximum use of the dust stickers) but it's not wide enough so not comfortable to use as your thumbs scrape the sides.

Vegan case is not good as everyone said. Feels more like rubber than leather and has no grip. The S23U leather case is so much better. In a few ways, the S23U is better than the S25U, so I don't need to ask myself if I need help.

Does anyone use a non-One UI launcher? I use nova but finding the lag when going back to home and being able to tap another app to open quite annoying
I installed Nova launcher first thing. Its the one I have always been using and I like it. Restore backup from previous phone and everything is back where Im used to having it.
 
Does anyone else use Dex? I've just tried to connect my S24U to my PC using wireless Dex and the option to connect to a PC wirelessly seems to of disappeared. I used to use it fine on my S22U. I can connect to the TV etc without issue, just not a PC. it works fine via cable.

EDIT - Never mind, fixed it.

Anyone sent the trade in off yet , I cant find a box so going to just wrap my S23U in a metre of bubblewrap and place in a bag :p
I sent the trade in S23U in the box it came in and added bubble wrap, that was yesterday, today I have confirmation that my trade in is complete, wow that was fast!
 


So I finally opened up my S24U and I've noticed the S pen sticks out slightly more than the S23U be default.. is everyone else the same?
 
How is the pen/fingerprint with tempered glass screen protectors so far? Contemplating getting one, but there's lots of reports of them messing with the functionality.

I'm using the ESR glass cover and I have no complaints with the fingerprint/s-pen functionality. it'll read the 4 fingers just about 100% of the time
 
so in camera assistant(goodlock in samsung store) you can change the "picture softening" option.. I have changed it to medium to see if it helps with the noise.

edit to add to this, there's also the "pick the best lens depending on light etc" box in the same app.. I've noticed that it often forced IMO the wrong sensor for xyz situation.. increasing the possibility of weird looking pictures and inconsistency.
