Stellar device
On my third week using this device, and it has been nothing short of perfect. Coming from a Pixel 7 that unfortunately had issues with the FP sensor and the display, the S24 feels like a massive upgrade. The camera has been stellar for my use (The pixel does capture better images though). The FP sensor has been excellent, and the display is definitely the best one I have used so far. No performance issues with my usage (calls, text, checking email, streaming music, and using Chrome) and the device runs cool throughout the day. I have been able to get a day's worth of battery life consistently.

Love it!
So far I'm loving my new phone! I went from a s21 to this! The picture quality is spot on! It helps so much taking pictures of my cakes to post on social media! Now I can also send video messages without videos looking like crap when the other person receives it. And the battery life last way longer than my old s21!
