Maria, 23 Mar 2024Hey, I'm not trying to act all smart or anything.
1. ... moreColor shifting is obvious but is not game changer for usage and is independent of any display setting so it is hardware thing.
Wifi is bad ( for now ) regardless of used router , mesh or provider ( i was try everything ) and as i mentioned , i houp to corections in the future patches.

1. The armor may have an effect on this display. You may try turning the Adaptive Color Tone off. I cannot guarantee that this action will solve your problem. I do this because I want a normal AMOLED display, just like my old A8 (2018).
2. For the Wi-Fi matter, you may use MESH Wi-Fi at your home. It can make Wi-Fi more stable and better than a modem/router/extender only. You may check your provider as well.

After a few days of use, only a few problems:
color change at various viewing angles of the display - assumption that it is due to the new anti-reflective layer,
mostly not a big problem because the benefit of anti-reflection is huge. The graininess of the display does not exist for me.
Another problem is wifi, a large variation in speed and random disconnection, especially on the 5ghz band.
On the 2.4 band, the speed also varies, but there is no disconnection.
I sincerely hope this is a software issue that will be fixed in future patches.

Because honestly, the display is fantastic! There are some YouTube reviews that are saying it's the best on the market.
There was a small issue to begin with with the colour vividness (people couldn't tell much difference), but this was sorted out in the update - there is now a vivid slider and it's far more noticeable (...I prefer the screen on Natural though).

I will say this, my soul tells me S23U and my mind tells me S24U 😁
I really like the look of the S23U, but the flat screen of the S24U seems to be more practical.
The price difference is not that huge, especially considering the subsequent number of available updates in the case of S24U. Also there are some voices in the background talking about potential problems with the display in S24U (graininess, color vibrancy), has something like this happened to you?

Then ask yourself: does the price difference bother you?
The answer is:
If yes, get the S23U.
If not, get the S24U.
Ultimately, your wallet will make the decision for you.
As for me, I bought the S24U because I prefer the newest model and I plan to use this phone for as long as I can, taking advantage of the 7-year update period.
Is it possible to use it for 7 years? Some may say no because of the battery. As for me, I have already proven it myself with my A8 (2018), which is just a few months away from reaching 7 years.

Jack, 22 Mar 2024Ladys and gents Im expecting credit card with some nice lim... moreI was in a similar position to you recently (upgrading to either the S23U or S24U). In the end, I went with the S24U... mainly because of the totally flat screen, slightly better battery life and 7 years of OS updates. Plus, I thought if I'm spending this much on a new phone, I may as well fork out a few hundred quid more for the newer model... I plan on keeping it for a good few years to come.
The S23U is fantastic too though - and you're more likely to get a good bargain/deal on one, now the S24U is out. And if you don't mind the screen not being flat - or the fewer years of support/updates, then it might be the sensible option.
So basically... they're both great: if you're on a tighter budget, go for the S23U. If not, then go for the S24U (...you won't regret it! 💪).

Ladys and gents Im expecting credit card with some nice limit to spend coming next week and I can't decide if I should go for S24U or S23U...
I'm slowly starting to get tired of watching comparisons because each time they end with the words: "both are equally good" 🤦♂️😃
Of course, the price may be some help in making the final choice, but on the other hand I wonder if it would be worth adding a few extra $$ and going for S24U 🤔
Any suggestions?

Try a standing grip case from Samsung before buying lol. Other than that, the case is perfect.

The significant change happens when I use Ugreen Cable 5A 100W, only 65 (less than 70) minutes charging.
One more I forget to tell is that only one lightening sign show when using the 3A 60W cable. There are two lightening sign (one big and one small sign) show when using the 5A 100W cable.
My S24U is charged in OFF condition.

I turn the battery saver, battery protection and bettery features OFF.
You did an experiments with display but you don't know that 3A cable supports max 25w no matter what power brick you have. Another issue you are facing with anker it looks like it doesn't support PD charging. So basically you are charging at 15w MAX(not even super fast charging 25w or super fast charging 2.0 45w)

I am here to write about my personal daily usage of the S24U. I do all my work with this S24U, but I am not a gamer. This is not a review, though.
1. The **Weight:** I am not surprised by the size and "original" weight; I knew it before buying. I do feel it is a good fit for my hands. I bought an authentic standing grip case from Samsung, and I am surprised that the weight becomes 300 grams. I feel it is heavy now, lol.
The case protects it very well, preciously, although it makes the S24U thicker and heavier. The camera is now shrunken in.
2. The Display. Please trust me, I am still finding faults (i.e., grainy display). I did all the tests but could not find it in mine.
I also compared it with my forever A8 (2018). At the same level of brightness, the white of the S24U display is not-so-white; the A8 is whiter.
I cannot find the difference between the vivid and normal modes, although the slider makes it a bit different.
I do not like Adaptive Color and Eye Shield, so I turn these OFF.
3. The battery is okay. The Anker 60W charger plus Anker 3A max. 60W cable needs 150 minutes (less than 3 hours), but the same charger plus Ugreen 5A max. 100W cable needs 65 to 70 minutes. I charged from 0% empty to 100%..
I turn the battery saver, battery protection and bettery features OFF.
4.The camera. I have no issues at all. I realize that the result may not be the best, but the photos are consistently fine in any condition. The still photos may not be everyone's cup of tea because of Samsung's characteristic dramatic effect. Thankfully, Samsung made this a bit more natural this time.
5. The performance and Galaxy AI are fine.
Lastly, what I hate is that the S Pen makes the bottom frame of the S24U not completely flat.
Peace.
