New features since S9 to S24

[koyo1234]

I recently upgraded from my S9 to an S24 and so far I feel like I'm not really taking advantage or even being aware of all its new features. So I was wondering (aside from the new AI features) are there any new and amazing quality of life or power user features that have been added since the S9? Would love to hear if there is anything great.

Probably would be a wide variety since there's like 7 years between those two phones

Did you try good lock app available in the galaxy store? There's a lot of features and options in that app you can explore.

Hi koyo1234, the Samsung Galaxy S24 has a more compact and lighter design. It has an under display fingerprint reader and it's really fast and reliable to read and unlock the phone. 

With the Galaxy S24 Series, night shots and videos will be your new playground. With the enhanced Nightography of the Galaxy S24, you’ll be able to capture vibrant, detailed memories, even in dimly lit scenes.

Your gaming experience on the Galaxy S24 is set to bring life-like visuals and an optimal thermal control system for an uninterrupted gaming experience. Incredibly crisp images & a processor that will take your gaming experience to another level.

You can take brilliant Nightography photos and videos on the Selfie Camera. Plus, the Pro Visual engine harnesses the power of AI for zoom, delivering crisp, low-light photos and videos with reduced noise and enhanced detail. With the Galaxy AI editing tools that are on the Galaxy S24 Series, editing photos will just take you a few seconds! You can now easily remove objects or reflections, or even use Generative Edit to fill parts of your image background with Generative AI!

Thank you.

Firstly, congratulations on such a BIG upgrade!!!

So far, all GREAT tips and advice have been offered thus far.

1. As previously suggested, go through the tips.

2. Samsung keyboard offers swipe natively plus clip board and Grammarly spell check. Grammar is included free.

3. Since Android 12L, there have been some major changes one in particular is how some apps like
Termux has not been updated in PlayStore as the sub-components have been restricted. You'll need to download such apps via F-Droid site . Some apps you're used to may be sourced there if not updated in PlayStore or apkmirror site.

4. 2FA push messages from, say, bank logins may not auto populate in apps. Seems to be 2 areas in Settings to get it to work just right, but I'm unsure where.
NOTE: Some banks like Tangerine add some junk to the text that prevents even the fixes from working. (Frustrating, yet specific to this bank)

5. Secure Folder - check it out and all the joy it brings to securing and hiding your data - not even Odin and other loaders can access. ;)

6. Samsung has a new Hi-Res audio codec supported with S21 onward with Buds2 Pro or Buds3 Pro.
Samsung Scalable Codec
Bitrate: Adaptive (88 kbps to 512 kbps) Frequency Response: 16 kHz- 48 kHz udio Quality: Varies based on connection quality not typically HI-Res • Latency: Low to moderate.
