Buy s24u la...

I just dont understand you already willing to shell out 4k, why not the extra couple hundreds.

Samsung pricing strategy for the last 3 years is pretty same. Cheapest to buy is preorder and EOL with some promo in between. In the end, they managed to increase average selling price above 4k by mixing up their strategy. First sell cheap and consumers are their best marketing tools when they flex their brand new phone in front of their friends and family. This also tends to make early adopters feel their phone retained their value well, just like iPhone. Those red eyed by their friends new gadget will end up desperate and even buying at higher price later on.

This analysis is correct. At least this was what I found when doing research on S22, that's why immediately goes for pre-order S23U last time instead of waiting for price to drop. If wait for EOL sale, then many will recommend to wait for S24U pre order instead. biggrin.gif

I think that may be what happened to my Note 20 Ultra too, coz I washed my phone too and the glue at that time probably already not sticky, so there might be an opening that caused water to go in, that spoilt my display. It's black screen but I know the phone was on. So I connected it to Samsung Dex and managed to backup all my stuff before sending it for repair. Recently the adhesive/glue no longer sticky and whole back cover came off. Again, sent in to service  centre for the adhesive replacement.

glad to have this discussions. I have been washing my phone too to be honest. sweat.gif

MY S23u went into service centre 3 times already due to display issues. First and 2nd time bring to bathroom kena air sikit, then later next day ghost touch and green screen. They replaced it under warranty, they weren't able to check water damage or whatsoever. Just change screen.

3rd time I terkena the bottom part a bit in swimming pool, less than 3 cm deep. Then go back home rinsed it with water, next day display gone. Sent to service centre they detected water damaged but still changed bottom speaker, frame, display , under warranty.

Didn't know nowadays Samsung water resistance so laoya. I used to bring my s7 into bath rinsed many times also no issue.

Of course I wont be exposing this fragile phone with any more liquids lol.

Not sure because you soak the phone or what. I only rinse it with soap and water, so far so good. Touch wood

Nope , never soak the phone at all , just normal exposed to water splashes , not even directly spray into any ports , more like the water seeped into the phone somehow.

Hmmm. I wait for your answer on Andrew's question about using alcohol wipe

QUOTE(ipohps3 @ Nov 6 2023, 11:26 PM)
from my experience. don't wash phone with soap and water. the viscosity of the mixture is different than pure water. the mixture can easily seep into the microphone, simcard and speaker holes.

at most just rinse with water. if have some hard to wash dirt, just use small drop of acetone and wipe it off.
*
Noted. Thank you so much for the kind advice

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Nov 6 2023, 11:35 PM)
Water and soap is okay. Just avoid alcohol wipe.
*
Wow I got all the combo. I need to be more careful from now onwards

Damn, I still purposely went and bought those with alcohol one

Yeah.

Seems like other brands too. Oppo, Vivo.

Even Xiaomi's MIUI...14 is the latest.

It seems like it's better to buy new phones with the latest OS.

Instead of old phone that requires software updates.

Old Xiaomi phone can update to HyperOS?

power of 100x zoom laugh.gif

10x only haha. Now I know why people said the 10x periscope lens is good. When zoom in 10x, just nice, if you compares to the 5x zoom from iPhone. You can notice that there still some noticeable distance.

If go beyond 10x then is digital zoom, so the quality dropped. 10x just nice, and my hand was shaking looool...so Samsung need to improve on the ois

Last night I accidentally drain S23 ultra battery until empty. Today, after full charge, it was okay for a while and then suddenly it acting weird. Blacking out even I turned on my AOD, then press power button nothing happen. Hold and press also nothing happen. Then randomly press until screen back on. Now, it happen again I tried to restart cannot turned on already until now. Can someone help?

update: Manage to turn it back on somehow. Randomly pressed the power button, shaking and turn the phone upside or something. Hopefully will be okay. Anyone have any idea what's the issue?

No idea..I had drained the battery until empty for few times, touchwood, so far no issue

3x to 9x also consider as digital, as not proper optical zoom laugh.gif

Rumor said s24 ultra getting 5x optical zoom, let's pray hard it won't happen although 99% I will skip it laugh.gif
*
Ikrrrr. Now I can understand why people are disappointed if s24u getting 5x instead

You are right that the 3x to 9x consider as digital so it is not good. Now I really grateful with that 10x. Cannot live without it

Yea normally we don't use it. But when you needed it then it is there for you haha. I like to have a variety of options, so if can have 5x and 10x lens, even better XD

This thing is awesome. Just upgraded from Note 20 Ultra to S23 Ultra. The battery is great and no heat at all. My hotspot is on all the time, N20U will just heat up like crazy even with just FB or insta. Indeed a worthy upgrade.

There is a "fine" line but not sharp.... the side is loose and no protection at all. But for the lightweight, durability (can remove and install unlimitedly) and slim profile, it's the best option so far...
