I sent it off as it came from Samsung in the longish box and just put it in a seperate big envelope

Sent the whole brown box wrapped in christmas paper to them

kinda 50/50 on keeping it or selling it.. not opened it yet.
Sent it to them using the box Samsung sent it in, wrapped in bubble wrap, inside a poly bag.
This is for my wife though, I'm sticking with a S23 (baby size) after getting sick of the bulk of the S22U. I do like the anti-reflective screen on the S24U though. Kind of hoping I can pick up some screen protectors that can do that for the S23.

Re the smartswitch issue:
It's probably caused by transferring from a device running OneUI 5 (or previous) to OneUI 6.
Had this on both the S22 and Tab S8 when upgrading (on device)- something just seems to get borked in the change.

My store would not connect but this afternoon I had a phone notification from the store for app updates. It is now working.

I went from ios to s24 and the muted screen issue is here too.. very obvious next to iphone.
Definitely annoying, feels like some sort of manufacturing defectyup default and a bit annoying. I can see why but it bothers me
don't think it's a return worthy issue but I'll see how it is with a case on when it arrives.First impression is that it feels soo much better in the hand than S23U. Feels more premium, makes the S23U feel plasticky which is crazy.
I have to say I'm underwhelmed by the grey colour, it's more like a shade of white. Wish I ordered the purple instead.
If I remember, I'll do this later when I set mine up
But bear in mind peak brightness is much higher on the S24U (on paper at least)
Soldato
Also interested in this, on the double please @mrk !
I don't think so, my S22U was on OneUi 6 when I transferred.
Did you pay extra or use the standard protection for the S23u to Samsung?
My other half has just had her S24+ delivered and she’s really disappointed with the washed out colours in comparison to her S22. Is this just the way the screen is or is there likely to be a software fix?
Soldato
Must be a software issue. Even going vivid to natural makes no difference.
Quidco raised their cashback amount back up to 10% for mobiles/tablets/wearables after the early pre-order discounts ended.I don't suppose anyone has come across any generic Samsung discount codes through the S24 order process? I don't actually want to order an S24, but I'm looking at ordering a tab s9 ultra and wouldn't mind getting a couple of quid off
You might be able to find someone with a january birthday code that gives 15% off they could send you. Only the december birthday code worked on the S24, so a lot of people might have them spare lol.
Otherwise theres a APP5 code which gives 5% if you purchase on their mobile store app, can't be combined with the quidco cashback though.
Pretty sure it's software. Just seems like there isn't a Vivid mode working for people who smart switched at the moment, it's perma stuck in natural mode at the moment which clamps the colour gamut so it's accurate.

I only sent in an s10+ so valued at £190, it's a harder call for the s23u as it's valued a lot higher
