Samsung S24 series

Zurbaran

I'm assuming you all aren't crazy people who don't use cases?

I'm thinking of getting the Torras one with mag safe ring. Had a leather full cover one from them before that lasted decently well before so think I might give this one a go.

Had considered the official silicone ones but I see the whole back is raised to cover the cameras which will just make the whole thing thicker as well, around the screen the lips look very high too.

Any suggestions for a minimal case that does have a small amount that helps the screen and cameras? I drop my phones the odd time but don't feel anything more substantial is needed.

Aye. DPD normally on the ball so should be good for tomorrow.

Anyone getting told of a delay from Exertis, I wouldn't take it as gospel. Once had one of the Folds delivered the same day they contacted me to say they there'd be a two week delay, so estimates of February delivery may not be set in stone.

From samsung.com/ie, buying outright, for working devices. S10 = €250 to €275. Older Samsung devices = €200

No dispatch email here.

But on the Samsung website it says dispatched with DPD tracking number.

Any opinions on the above?

I think we will have to wait for the hands on reviews. Software plays a massive role in the performance. Samsung have reduced the MP on some cameras over the years yet sometimes they preform better than the previous one with the higher MP. The software can make a massive difference

General consensus is the S24 is better up to 10x, and the periscope is better in low light.

There will be software updates though, so hard to tell

Same situation with mine

mossie

Still no move on mine. No update since 21 Jan

Same as most others, samsung website confirmed shipped.

No text or email from DPD. But from tracking its in my local warehouse now.

I usually get an email and text an hour or so before it's delivered to the house

Just got an email from Samsung about the trade-in, this is the first time doing a trade in with them. They asked to contact my network and request that my device is unlocked. I am pretty sure that it came unlocked from three, I got my S23 under contract from them.

I would have assumed that Samsung would be able to unlock their own phones if they are network locked.

Out walking dog and I get a message at 820am that dpd will deliver my Samsung package between 822 and 922am. Walking briskly back now....

I am definitely getting it today just don't have a time yet. Been in hospital and not expecting to get out until 12 or 1pm so it will most likely be waiting for me when I get home 😊

If its from a network carrier there is no guarantees it's unlocked no.

The statement is on all trades though. Mines from Samsung so it's unlocked and it shows the same thing.

But don't assume your phone is unlocked also they can charge you if you don't follow their guidance.

Lol, nice reason to rush back!

Yeah I'm going to go through checks this morning and see if it is locked. It has all the three bloatware on it, so might go down the unlock route.

Just ran a check on my imei and it shows "Next Tether Policy (Carrier): Open" and it doesn't ask for a network unlock code when I put a sim in from another network. It's just full of three bloatware.

Sounds like you're good so.

Looks like my parcel is on a van and due for delivery today. Happy days. We're very lucky. Saw a post on Reddit earlier saying in Canada the S24 series is completely sold out at Samsung.

mightyreds

Got mine this morning at 8:30 no email just a text about 7am this morning, no buds with it must have been out of stock and I didn't notice

McDermotX

Mine has arrived. DPD didn't even ring the doorbell, left both our phones on the ground outside and drove off.

That's par for course. Seems strange though with such expensive items.

matrixguy

Out for delivery!

Samsung website still says Order Confirmed, lol!

Dannymole22

Just got a message saying mine will be delivered between 10:00-11:00 while I'm out in work

Half an hour notice is mad if I knew I could have arranged to WFH or have someone there
