Would be interesting to see what Samsung phones you have used over the years, what improvements you have noticed, what needs changing? 

Me: S5, S6, S8, S10 plus, S21U, S22U, S23U, S24U (current)

Things improved: TouchWiz to OneUI is a massive step up. OneUI probably is my fav android skin. 
Update cycles have significantly improved 
Eco system improvements deserve a special mention too

Things need improving: Better camera hardware, better customer support.

Tocco lite, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6 Edge, S6 Edge +, S7, S7 Edge, S8, S8+, S9, S22 Ultra, S23 Ultra, S24 Ultra, S25 Ultra.
Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, had 2 Note 7's, Note 8, Note 9, Note 10+, Note 20 Ultra.
Currently still have the Note FE as well.
Had Z Fold 3, 4, 5 phones as well as the first Z Flip phone.

There maybe others I've forgotten about.

Think the improvements have been all over really, so can't point to anything in isolation.
But definitely the change from touchwiz to One UI has been great
Water resistance on the phones and general build quality is a stand out change
Too much to list really

Think my best improvements over the years are the cameras for sure

I've had a few phones and tablets from Samsung over the years. Only really started getting most since the S20 era.

SGH-I300, Samsung Omnia, Galaxy S, Note 3, S8+, S10+ (briefly), Note 10+ 5G, S20 Ultra, Tab A10.1, Tab S7+ (3), S21 Ultra (2), Tab S8 Ultra, S22 Ultra, S23 Ultra, S24 Ultra, S25 Ultra.

Personally I feel like the UI has remained very consistent but just tweaked over the generations. Performance has just improved to such a point people take so many things for granted, biggest being just how incredibly powerful the video camera aspect of the phone is. It still blows my mind how far the tech has come in such a short space of time.

 What I really liked about the S3 mini was this. Does it look familiar?😁

Until the S9+, I thought the Note and S series were too big, and since the S21 Ultra, I think all the others are too small. 😂.

My favorite is my current S24 ultra,  and I like ambient wallpaper which I  saw and used for the first time on the S3 mini 😁

Would you mind sharing your camera settings on S24U? (Camera App and Camera Assistant). I have tried various settings
