Did you add the screen protector?The antiglare screen is no joke
Whether you use Smartswitch or not Google does a backup anyway of settings, calls, SMS etc and will restore that (you get the option) on first boot and sign-in. All your installed apps are in the play store anyway and you can let those auto pulldown through the store, you'll get the option to do this too on initial sign-in and sync.
Smart Switch is the best way though, then just let Google do whatever it needs after. Some apps need to be manually restored like WhatsApp though, so do a Drive backup and restore.

I suspect a bunch of factors at play, cable being used being a main one, I will retest with the Samsung cable as was using an Anker. The Nubia charger is 80W and I'm using the NUbia cable with no issue though and it stays SFC 2.0 the whole time. When the Anker one drops to normal fast charging the circle animation is green to denote it's legacy fast charging, the SFC 2.0 colour is blue, and SFC 1.0 is slightly turquoise/blue for reference.
The charging times ETA between them appears to be maximum 20 minutes though, so really not much in it.
Nope I don't use them.

Mine came this morning too. Looking forward to setting it up tonight 
I use a 100W USB C Anker Prime GaN 3-Port Fast PPS Charger - I got it on a sale and it's great because it's smaller and light and when I travel for business it charges both my phone and my laptop. It's all got an USB-A port for older devices.
Did you get a DPD courier email or did all that just turn up out of the blue?It all turned up, despite email saying watch and strap delayed til Feb 9
I put an old s9 I had around for the trade in discount, but it turns out they've not really included any kind of box to put it in which is what I'd assumed they'd do. I've no idea where the box to the phone is - I probably could find it but it would probably take a number of hours. Does anyone have any good tips on potential packaging?
No mate, I wanted a different colour so had to re-order. Panic over now though as just had email that they have refunded on first order.
Bubble wrap it and put it in a padded envelope
oh well, slap the case on, and problem solved right? haha. although using it naked now seems nicer to hold compared to s23u, I mean less slippery and easier to grab from flat surface.
Cheers for this, well I guess black sides or any colours, they are coated then, just maybe less obvious if non-darker colour. Not sure why they make the s-pen grey colour though. Looks cheap?Its coated
Conveniently I just remembered where the box was, so think I'll just put it in that, bubble wrap the box, and use the provided bag they sent.

I wonder if all colour variants are coated.Its coated
One of the reasons I went for grey was that I'd have thought that no colour would have been applied.
If that shot was from the PBK video, his was the purple.
I hate new phone day, as I have to have a screen protector and get anxious that I'll be able to apply it perfectly

Just took delivery of 2 S24 Ultras, I was supposed to return once and was told by Samsung I could just reject delivery and it'd go back.
Driver insisted it wasn't possible, reckon he was just being lazy. So now have to reach out to support and return it.

All set up now and running well... Unfortunately the one corporate app I need for Auth (okta) is not working
Phone is very quick and basically an enhanced s23 ultra (That's not a bad thing ) time to let it bed in for a week or so.
Haven't seen this day 1 update they were talking up to improve camera , seems okay at the moment but still not as good as my 8 pro
