Isn't it time to unpin this post?
How well does the camera handle moving subjects? How is the shutter lag?
Is there a noticeable difference between the Titanium on the Ultra and the aluminium on the other models? I'm guessing it's the colours on the Ultra that stand out more.
Both materials feel cool to the touch when initially held. I'd say the titanium is a bit more grippier which might be relevant if you like to use your phone without a case.
The colours are matched more on the back and frame for the S24/+ compared to the S24U.
Do the AI features feel like they're more integrated than on Pixels?
Is it full of bloatware? If I recall the last version had some people mad because samsung likes to install their os on top of android so it effectively doubles the used space
One UI doesn't use that much more space compared to other skins if you judge by the size of the super partition. Unfortunately, ArsTechnica jumped the gun on the topic without doing proper research.
I'll edit this comment later with a list of pre-installed apps on the US unlocked model later.
Edit: List of pre-installed apps on the (* denotes it can be uninstalled)
-In the Google folder: Google, Chrome, Gmail, Maps, YouTube, Drive*, Google TV*, Meet. And Photos*.
-In the Microsoft folder: LinkedIn*, Microsoft 365*, OneDrive, and Outlook*.
-In the Samsung folder: Find*, Health*, Members*, Messages, My Files, PENUP*, Shop Samsung*, SmartThings*, TV*, Voice Recorder*, Wearable*.
Apps outside the folder: Assistant, Calculator*, Calendar*, Camera, Clock*, Contacts, Facebook*, Gallery, Gaming Hub*, Global Goals*, Internet, Messages, Netflix*, News, Notes*, Phone, Play Store, Settings, Spotify*, Store, Tips*, Wallet*, and YouTube Music*.
Is that 5x actually better than the 10x in previous models? :/
We'll be taking a bunch of photos later today, and I have my S23U with me to compare with. I took a quick shot with 10x on both devices, and at a glance the S24U is sharper.
For the S24 Ultra -Can you hide the punch hole camera on the home screen? -Can you vertically scroll in the app switcher? -Are the quick tiles as bloated and useless as the Pixel phones? -Does multitasking work with animation scale disabled? -How curved are the screen edges and image/colour distortion compared to the S23 Ultra?
Can you install custom roms?
In general, the bootloader of US and Canadian models can't be unlocked. You can with other regional variants, regardless of Snapdragon or Exynos.
it should be mandatory for samsung to make the bootloader unlockable regardless of region. S24 is already dismissed for me
Is it better than the Google Pixel 8 Pro?
