Samsung Galaxy S24, S24+ and S24 Ultra

The call assistant feature is quite useful.

Was in meetings and had a few calls which I palmed off to the assistant.

Perhaps a SLIGHTLY longer span between charges?

I don't know if I just haven't used my phone as much during the day or if the battery really lasts longer, but I was on 52% last night when I went to bed. Which isn't something I see often lol

Buggerol. I updated. Looks the same :ROFL:

loads of new hidden options depending on your phone and if you know where to look for them - and if you have a use for them - examples just in the camera are horizontal lock and my fancam - do a quick lookup on youtube and there are loads of changes you will find - the term buggerol is definitely not applicable

for something to actually be different it doesn't have to visibly look different ;) even if it doesn't look different there could be lots of things that are actually different and lots of things added that just don't instantly jump out

after doing the update also go to the Samsung store and update everything that needs updating in the system apps menu straight away as well - loads of apps are updated - and also update your good lock if you are using it

Haven't noticed any difference if I'm being completely honest.

Having used this for an evening I can say it doesn't look different but the animations to me feel different.

I love the dots that show when a app is using the mic, location or camera. That has made me realize just how many times random apps connect to either.

I also appreciate the combine call history from all apps in the dialer (I know it comes from ios) and super steady mode
 
I watched a few videos, and most things are not of use to me. A lot of it is on the panel and having more flexibility.

Using goodlock and quickstar you can add a new indicator icon to show your network speed, if though I might give this a go. I am not sure how it will help me, but will see if I leave it on or not.

This is useful, if you click those dots you can see recent access, and which apps are using what on your phone, and then you can further manage permissions for that app – great feature to lock down your phone if you want to.

If you use the native file manager you dont need an additional PDF app, it now supports it natively. I dont use the native file manager though so no difference for me.

If you suffer from motion sickness, there is a setting which adds these dots or patterns on the side of the screen when it detects the phone is being used while in motion. The dots are supposed to help you. I suffer from motion sickness, will see if this helps when i am in an uber and using my phone.

Nothing else stood out for me, cant even remember everything else.
 
horizontal lock hasn't come to the S24 series - i was wishing it would but it hasn't

Samsung might claim that the SOC is not up to the job - and since i have no idea if it is i will not argue - and i will also not complain since i really wanted it more out of vanity than sanity since i don't really use the camera for video that much
