No everything came with the phone being delivered. The box contained the new s24 ultra as well as a return bag and sticker to use for postage for the trade in.
The return box to put in to the bag is the same one the new phone comes in. It’s one of those boxes that you can open to take your new items out and then reseal to send return items back.
No worries!
I’ve got to admit their instructions for sending the trade in aren’t super clear and I did have to email them to make sure I was doing the right thing myself.
do you have the 2 side by side to refute his comments?
Went to a wildlife park today and got to play with the camera. Impressed with the remove reflections function.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review: Still the best, unless you take photos
Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra is a nice enough piece of hardware, but it doesn't improve enough over the S23 to earn such a stagnant upgrade
Im not sure that works any more since oneui6/android 14....
It used to be that you could indeed confirm pin without ok but I THINK that is only an option for 6 digit pins now :/ ( ie. that click box only appears if you enter a 6 digit pin)
annoying tbh
Ah just tested and you do indeed need a 6 digit pin not to have the use the OK confirmation. Mines only 4 digits. Odd, as was worked fine on the S23U.
I'm actually super intrigued by this phone but it just seems a bit big for my taste.
Perhaps I should get the smaller S24 or S24+?

Sounds like you're confusing 2 different phone types a d models. S-Pen is only built in with the Ultra series.
The Fold 3-5 models have IPx5 dust resistance! It's water resistance with officially tested and support that we're waiting for in ANY Fold model from any manufacturer.
Also Fold series is the ONLy foldable with IP rating in water or dust!
It is VERY good not just in typing (tap accuracy), but with swiping and suggestions as well as Grammarly support within (user toggle switch).
Also I like having an ever present numerical row at the type ans split or floating key options both on device or via Dex. Lastly built in connection to SamsungPass for logins.
yep especially the ever present numerical row. I'm sure I could somehow get it on the iphone with gboard or something but that's something I really miss when not using android... and to have a minimoan, although there's so much that's great with apple, the we wont do a proper right mouse button, we wont have a numeric row blah blah is what really hurts the experience for me. It's always we have to learn the apple way rather than having the options... anyway I'll shut up now cos it's not like we don't already know all that
Agree. Ultra is better suited to those with sasquatch paws imo
+ is essentially the same size as Pixel 8 Pro and a nice balance between screen size, same processor as U, more battery than base model, and UFS 4 too!
So (surprisingly), I ended up ordering a regular S24...
It arrived today. I was in the office and expected it to just be rescheduled for tomorrow but as I got home from work, 5 mins later the delivery arrived.
I figured, I have a return window.
The last Samsung non flip / fold phone I tried was the S10? So it’s been a while. What intrigued me was the design and the fact that there’s a telephoto camera in here. I’d normally always choose the smaller device where possible, but these days it’s impossible when the smaller device is gimped. Well, not here, seemingly. Sure, the Plus is a little better on paper with the better screen and battery etc, but I thought I’d see how far (if at all) Samsung has come since I last dipped my toe in.
I’m currently still in set up phase. The device is nice and light and I like the sqaured off edges. It does feel a bit sharp at the front, so it’s not hugely comfortable vs an iPhone but it‘s not a deal breaker. It’s also really light which isn’t a bad thing, but being used to heavier devices it’s a little jarring. I really love the design.
I already don‘t think I can look past Samsung‘s UI. I just don’t think it looks very nice. I’m not going to keep stock though, and see if I get used to it. Looking forward to seeing how the camera stacks up and also having Dolby Atmos on an Android device but will see if I end up keeping it. I’d be v surprised if so, but I wanted to at least have an informed opinion and as I say, I do favour a smaller device and this is a really nice size.
Will post my thoughts after a bit more use. Also keen to do some camera samples Vs the Pixel / iPhone, but conscious it may not be worth it as most of you here are all in on the Ultra (understandably)!
Use the ProRAW & ProRES photo and video mode settings when you want some real quality on the S24. Pics I originally taken on my S23 V's discovering Pro mode dramatically increased the quality going Pro mode.
Now THAT is the right colour way to get!
Super pissed I start new job 2wks later than originally planned so I loose out on my $100CAN eVoucher. Is it possible to transfer to someone else?
Not quite that set up but almost. 14PM and S24U for me.
I also have a P8 Pro which I think is a fantastic device.
I have the S24U and 15PM and P8P and switch back forth between them
At the moment it's my primary phone, took my SIM card out of my 14 Pro Max. However when the 16 Pro Max comes out,, my S24 Ultra will probably be downgraded to my second phone.
Wow this is beast mode right there 😂, I admire you for being able to keep 3 phones going. At the moment my S24 Ultra is my main phone. The 16 Pro Max will probably change that tho, when it comes out in September. I like the look of the Pixel 8 Pro, but I couldn't use all 3, especially since I use a smart watch as well.
Just finished setting mine up from my 24U
Loving the color and feeling the hand. It feels like the corners aren't as sharp as the S23 corners.
Love the titanium sides makes the device easier hold and not as slippery.
