    If you are an adult that has a firm grasp on your finances, sure financing a phone isn't the worst thing in the world, especially if you can get 0% interest throughout the duration. I personally don't like financing luxuries, and I consider the S24 ultra a luxury purchase.

      I disagree... I don't finance anything in my life but my home. But financed my s24 ultra, what's $40 a month for an amazing phone. Also only finance is you have the ability to pay the phone cash! Forgot to add this part lol!
      ALSO how are you using your s24 to an external display? 6:10? USBc to USB c? Or USB c to mini HDMI???

      We didn't necessarily finance ours but we got it through ATT for around $300 total. Its spread out over 3 years with sucks but we aren't leaving ATT anytime soon so it makes complete sense.

      It only makes sense to finance at 0%. Technically it makes sense if your apr is less than the inflation rate. Also, carries like xfinity mobile give you $500 off but you only get that discount if you finance at 0%.

      @@crizzy4614 You disagree because you're too young or too financially inexperienced to know better. You're not paying $40 a month. You're paying $1000 + over 24 months. It makes sense to you upfront because you're walking out of the store having paid a little to receive a lot; that's how it's designed. No adult who is serious about personal finances will finance something they cannot afford to pay upfront, especially an unnecessary purchase like the latest phone. That's one of the cornerstones of being fiscally responsible.

    I got mine yesterday morning, opened the box at noon, on my lunch break, and transfered everything from my Pixel 7 Pro. I spent over 8 hours today sitting in a car dealer service center lobby and put it to good use. Over 90 minutes to start the day JUST opening all my apps and signing in to all the accounts. LOL I was listening to music and watching UA-cam with my Pixel Buds while going through every setting, every Good Lock option, etc and getting things set up ... took some photos, scrolled the socials, generally just found ways to keep myself entertained from the lobby chair from 8am until after 4pm. I still had 10% left in the tank by the time I left around 4:30.
    I've said for years that Samsung had lost me until they got rid of the curved screens ... well, they put up, so I shut and and gave them my money. LOL I do love that flat, anti-reflective display. The lack of comic - I mean VIVID - mode doesn't bother me. I always used to put Samsung phones in natural mode anyway. This may well be a 3 or 4 year phone for me, if something shiny doesn't catch my eye. And I still have the Pixel 7 Pro as a backup. My old Note 10+ is going back, because they gave me $535 trade credit for it. How do you turn that down, right?
    I'm looking forward to giving DeX another try. I didn't use it much on the Note 10+, but I like that it's there in a pinch. Maybe a little portable USB-C monitor can replace a full laptop with this thing. Worth a try, since I already have it! I do wish the Titanium Violet was a little more shocking purple than deep twilight sky, but it's still cool. I'm digging it. My biggest dilemma is if I want to put a glass screen protector on it and lose the anti-reflective qualities - WHICH I LOVE - put on the Samsung anti-glare protective film, or just leave the screen naked and take my chances on scratches at level 7 with deeper grooves at level 8.
    Oh, and the fingerprint sensor!! SO MUCH BETTER than the Pixel .. and the Note 10. I already don't hate this one, which is a feat.

    One thing I dont like about the s24 ultra is the navegation bar.
    If you swipe from left or right edge it will return, but apps like X and Gmail open a tab if you swipe from the left edge (And I believe many other apps do too). So I'm losing a functionality
    And edge panels let you choose if the panel will be on the left or right edge of the screen, navigation bar wont. So would be good if samsung updates this, because I'm right handed and having the return gesture on the left doesnt make sense to me and cost me apps usability

    I've had mine for about a week., upgrading from the S22 Ultra. I was underwhelmed initially, but I'm liking it more and more each day.
    The screen is amazing. Side by side it blows other phones away.
    The UI is so smooth and so fast, it feels premium and is a pleasure to use. It's impossible to make it lag.
    The fingerprint scanner never misses and is instant
    The cameras are genuinely better in terms of colour and detail
    They've finally fixed the battery and it lasts more than a day even with heavy use which is a game changer
    The AI additions are largely gimmicks, circle to search and press for slo-mo are okay
    The sharp corners don't bother me as it went straight into a case
    The S Pen feels nicer- although I use it like once a month
    The microphones have improved judging by the fact I don't have to repeat myself to elderly relatives

    You can trade in Galaxy phones or iPhones to Samsung and you can usually get a Galaxy Ultra phone every year for around $450.00 - $650.00. Here's a real-life example. I own the S22 Ultra; if I traded in my phone, I could have got the S24 Ultra for $650.00 using Samsung's pre-sale. That price will probably go down to around $400.00 at some point. Also, if you have an iPhone, Samsung will give you really good trade-in values for your phone.
    Let me help you out. DXOMark just proclaimed that the S24 Ultra has the best smartphone display it has ever tested. So, yes, officially, the S24 Ultra does have the best display ever made.

Today taking it off the charger at 10:30 am at 79 percent i have now 47 percent of life and charging is incredible. I mean 28 seconds per percentage is INCREDIBLE.

Maybe it's just me but the cost is in the foldable phone territory like my Z Fold 5. I am getting used to the color calibration on the S24 Ultra but I must say I was not happy at first, since Samsung didn't address this during Unpacked! I agree this is a great portable productivity machine with a BT keyboard and mouse I can do work remotely from a coffee shop if needed. What are your thoughts on the S24 and S24+?

Since you have Mac you can still use iMessage ( on those devices on phone you need an app). You can FaceTime from those machines not phone. For me the thing that is preventing me to move over is Apple Card that is something that you cannot move to Samsung phone.

      It's really tough to switch. It's not the hardware or the software that's the problem. It's that once you get setup with your family stuff in apple systems, there just is very little incentive to try and recreate that somewhere else. Its not as exciting as the blue bubble/green bubble conversations, its the boring everyday stuff that makes it hard to switch.

    S24+ seemed like the no brainer choice... until news of the Exynos. Maybe Exynos has got it sh*t together but I'm not about to be the guinea pig. I plan to use this phone for a long time.
    The promos on the S24 series actually make them cheaper than the current S23 series.

    I traded my Pixel 7 for the regular S24. It's a decent phone and the fingerprint reader is MUCH more consistent. It's a second phone for me as my main phone is the 14 Pro Max. I'm staying with Apple for awhile. The S24 Ultra is an awesome phone though. It has some things I'd like to see on an iPhone but the perfect phone doesn't exist. There are trade-offs that need to be considered. I told a buddy that has a Note 9 that he should upgrade. He'd love this phone.
