Matte Finish. This should be the new standard.

I use my phones at home naked and I just love how my S24U feels, more importantly how much EASIER it is to carry & handle. My OnePlus 11 5G is so slippery.

I agree with you regarding the matte finish being easier to hold.

Congratulations on your new S24 Ultra. What colour did you get?

used mine for 4 days until I finally got my case. yes, it's easier to to hold with the matte finish. it's much easier to hold with a case. ymmv

I agree with you. I'm not using a case at home but always do when I'm out of the house. I never went case-free on my S22 Ultra, because it was too slippery even at home.

I would use my phone naked at home, but February in the UK is rather nippy...

Also I don't tend to take the case off as I need the Magsafe ring for charging at night.Shame they didn't give us Qi2.

I don't know about y'all, but I'm actually far more likely to drop my phone at home than when I'm out... the bulk of "drops" are it sliding off the sofa when I stand up lol. But then, I'm not a leve my phone on a bar table type... when I'm outside my phone is generally in my pocket or in my hand.

Thanks. I really wanted the new Titanium Grey (love Apple's iPhone 15 Pro) but I'm a Steelers fan so I went with Yellow.

I do drop it at home but dropping it hard wood is the difference. No issues.

I don't follow Qi but I heard MKBHD mention it on his OnePlus 12 review...

Being limited at 15 watts seems to be there reason why.

True cases help.

I also noticed while in my pocket it doesn't slip out easily.

when out and about, I keep my phone in my back pocket. before I got my case, I went to pull my phone out at a checkout to pay, and the camera lenses caught on the lip of my pocket. almost had a bit of an oops right there in the store. that was sufficiently jarring for me. lol

 

[mustang7757]

Sure. Thanks.

You got it

I personally feel matte finish phones are more slippery but nice to touch. Glossy backs are more gripping but can get gross with smudges. I know people disagree, but at least for my hands I have always had more grip with glossy phones

Yep my Flip has the matte finish, much easier and safer to hang on to without a case, but I still use a case for ultimate grip and protection.

My P6Pro on the other hand is completely unusable without a case... I've never held a phone that slippery in my life Not sure what Google was thinking there

I never use my phones naked, although if I ask nicely my wife will I suppose I need to return the favor

I tried using my S22U without a case for a little bit. Frankly, it would have been easier and quicker if I'd simply thrown it against the wall at speed.....very slippery phone.

I agree.

Aren't you part octopus?

I keep mine in my front left pocket of my Levi's 501s with a case when I'm out and about.
