If you're a fan of the Note series, this is the phone for you. It's all the things you have always liked about the Note and Samsung in general. By far the biggest improvement is that the screen is FLAT and not rounded at the edges. That was a constant source of irritation using the stylus. Honestly, other than that, the upgrade from a Note 20 is really not very significant. The camera on the 20 was pretty excellent and so is this one. I don't take a huge amount of photos to really care about any subtle improvements. Though the selfie camera does a little better with the lighting. I always felt the Note 20's front camera resulted in a lot of shadows.
All in all a good device. Only a few little issues so far. One is, that the samsung keyboard allways defaults to the alphabetical language if one uses more than one. If you at example have the german (deutsch) and english keyboard installed it will default for me to the german as it starts with a d... Alson when browsing it will from time ti time happen that the browser will become extremely slow. Lastly, i am underwhelmed with the camera. I used to have the S22 ultra and the picture quality has not improved at higher zoom. The 100 mp camera makes as good of pics as the 200 from the S24. Overall it seems that even the newer pricessor has not that much of an advantage vs the older model.
