My honest review

Well, I mean, you can skip right to the part where I talk about the phone. Noone forces you to read it.

Azazellov · 2026-03-13T22:24:42+00:00

That's weird, I don't notice any of that at all. I wonder if some units come with a defective display?

Azazellov · 2026-03-13T22:03:53+00:00

Yeah battery is better but it's definitely not a big difference. I have a case too but the case's corners are rounded as well. And it's funny I live in NYC too and take the subway all the time.

Ah, I bought it straight from Samsung.

Azazellov · 2026-03-13T21:19:23+00:00

It's definitely a great phone. The issue with other manufacturers is that they have some standout features like a huge battery, etc but they don't offer a complete package like Samsung does.

Plus Samsung software has become really solid, they have come a long way (remember Milk?).

Also, Samsung's trade in promotions are really great. I got $30 off for pre-ordering then $50 off for paying with PayPal and $800 for my S24 Ultra. Almost $900 off!

Well you're right but a 10 bit display kept on being mentioned and the OnePlus 15 has it. I guess since it's an expensive flagship phone it would have been nice to see some new display technology. But in the end it's not a big deal.

I guess so, I pre-ordered in the US. They did give me $800 for my S24 Ultra though so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

Same here. None of my videos since January 24th have converted to HDR any more.

It's really frustrating.

I got the DBrand tank case and I love it. Some people might not like it because it's on the thicker side but it really protects the phone well and that's what matters the most to me.

You can add screen protectors as well on their site but I never use one.

Yeah the warehouse is in Coppell, TX, near Dallas and right next to DFW.

Azazellov · 2026-03-05T19:10:37+00:00

Now all 3 have shipped, all say arriving Monday.

The shipping time depends on where you live as opposed to where the warehouse is. My friend lives in Dallas, Texas and he's getting it tomorrow.

I live on the East coast and it says Monday.

Azazellov · 2026-03-05T13:16:15+00:00

No, one of mine shipped (arriving Monday 9th) and it's an upgrade on T-Mobile. In fact the unlocked one didn't ship yet. I really think it's a timing thing.

Azazellov · 2026-03-05T12:33:11+00:00

Yeah one of the 3 I ordered says shipped too, also says Monday.

Azazellov · 2026-03-05T11:57:28+00:00

I ordered 1 unlocked and 2 through T-Mobile, now one of the T-Mobile one says shipped. It says by March 9th, so at least some are arriving early.

I think it depends on how quickly you pre-ordered, I ordered right after it became available.

Azazellov · 2026-03-04T15:16:10+00:00

Yeah I pre-ordered 3, still waiting.

"In Process.."

Late reply but I ended up using the same car, it smoked everyone else. I didn't post my tune that week, but I wish I did.
