I appreciate the tech in Sony's phones, but I haven't seen anything that I would be excited to use in my daily driver. No shade to anyone who prefers them, they look like great devices for a niche but their product philosophy is just very different from the mass appeal that Samsung and Google lean towards.
Samsung has been doing a lot of great things with their flagships these days, but I begrudgingly switched back to a Pixel last year mainly for the camera. Their cameras weren't bad by any means, and there are some limited situations where I actually preferred them, but they just didn't feel as consistent and dependable as other flagships.
If the S24 brings a more competitive camera to the table, sign me up.
I have faith in Apple, it'll be difficult but they'll find a way to do this that still maintains all the toxicity towards green bubbles that they've worked so hard to cultivate.
How well does the camera handle moving subjects? How is the shutter lag?

Transit is the best! Every once in a while I attempt to go back to Google Maps hoping it's approved and then immediately run back to Transit.
Any bets on which implements RCS first, iOS or Google Voice?

It's a really important feature, but I'm not sure I'd call it 'beloved'.
That's coming in the QPR1 update later this year, it wasn't slated for the initial Android 14 release.
