I've had good luck with Spigen Slim Armor CS cases. It has a sliding door on the back to access cards. I can get 2 credit cards, my drivers license and a thrice folded $20 in there. Qi2 charging works too.
Hopefully this is true. Had some grain and banding on myS24U.

Gone for the S25 Ultra 512GB at £761.65 in the grey colour! Galaxy Buds 3 included as a free gift.
Price was achieved with various codes, promotions and trading in an old broken S20 direct with Samsung UK. Happy with that!
It’s been a wee while since I have used Android.

On another forum....lots of people in the south like Florida received origin scans today for delivery tomorrow.
In the uk from Samsung, it’s usually later in the evening when they send a dispatched email, followed by a notification from DPD, the courier. Delivery is then the next day
yeah Im expecting a dpd notification friday night for delivery saturday but I wouldn't mind it earlier ;-)
Excited to see everyone with their new phones
yeah! reviews are fine and all but it's not until loads of people actually have a chance to play with them that we'll find out how good they are
I expect plenty of good results and reviews from the normal folks, I'm sure they might be a couple of things some would like improved but I think that's the case with every phone.
Same but I really want a notification tonight or tomorrow 🤣
Whilst on paper this appears true the reality is the last 3 IPhones releases have been a bug feast
There are so many postings on issues and lack of QA/QC it's ridiculous and this is from IPhone faithful
Apple standards have dropped drastically when you look at the postings and now live exploits having to be fixed and not using the pushed updates shows the inconsistencies further.
Samsung have learned and come out on the other side apple are now hitting a new curve on playing catch up and it shows
Yep. This.
I used to insist that iPhones were buttery smooth, far less bugs than android etc. but the last few years it's been getting worse and worse. Just that sense of "eurgh it's done that again" that you get with a device you can't quite trust.
I’ve been a bit disappointed with iOS 18, I’ve not found it to be very smooth in general on my 16 pro max. I agree the last few years it feels like the software is often rushed.
It’s great that all devices get the update at the same time but not so if everybody then gets, what often feels like, beta software
It looks like they are all getting scanned in Kentucky and then distributed from there....
Got my scan too!
This is another reason why Pre-Orders with Samsung are the best. You get the absolute best deals with free stuff you get to choose and shipping is either a day or more early or on time.
Excited for everyone to receive their new phones!!
When you get time please tell us your first impressions!!
Google and Apple should really copy Samsung with their pre order deals. It has kept me a loyal customer for many years now. I may not upgrade every year but when I do it is always a pre order and some years are better than others but I haven't seen betters deals from any manufacturer than Samsung.
Some have said no one pays MSRP and I would agree unless you get it through a carrier as even if it is "free" the post paid plans always cost so much more that they make up the full MSRP. That is why it is always best to buy direct through Samsung and find the cheapest pre paid plan. You will more than make up the cost of your phone!!

TechOdyssey had some cool stuff to share after 1 week of S25U use.
I was unaware that the S24U and iPhone 16 Pro Max have the same modems. He said the iPhone wifi stability has been horrible (switching between APs and signal strength in general).
S25U apparently uses a different modem and he has been thrilled about how well it works in the same places where iPhone has been terrible.

What colours has everyone ordered? The blue or black look the nicest to me (jet black)
iPhone 16 doesn't use the same modem as S24U.
iPhone 16 pro/max - Qualcomm X71
S24U - Qualcomm X75
S25U - Qualcomm X80
Good news is that S25U does use the latest and greatest.

Went with Titanium White silver as tired of dark phones. Along with a faux grey leather case.
