I Purchased A Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra In February & Am Still Trying To Learn All Its Capabilities.....

I would like to buy an instruction manual - something like Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for Dummies or Seniors - that is well illustrated and that goes step by step through all the features of this phone.

I've searched the bookstores and I have been unable to find such a book. I went to E-Bay and bought a book - that seemed to fit my requirements - but when I received the book - it didn't have any illustrations and it appeared to be written by someone that didn't have command of the english language.

Fortunately - I was able to return this book for a refund.

So now I'm no further than I started and am still looking for such an instruction manual.

I'm a Senior and I really don't like to go to the internet and watch videos of how to operate this phone - I'm partial to having a manual that I can highlight important instructions and dog-ear the pages that are important to me.

I would appreciate any help I can get from anyone here on DU - that can direct me to such an instruction manual that I can purchase.

In the past - I've purchased manuals for my older phones - complete with colorful screen shots and detailed explanations - but I've been unable to get one for this Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

I'm getting very frustrated trying to get used to this new phone. I miss my old Samsung 7.

HELP!!!

pick up all the nuances they may include and I'd have to keep referring to them. I don't learn well through these types of videos.

I like to have a book on the shelf that I can pick up at anytime to refer to.

Thanks for your suggestion - but the internet videos don't work for me. I need hard copy - that's the way I learn the best.

I can't be the only one out here that has this need. I got to think that there are good reference books out there that I can buy that will help me.

My phone - being one of the latest in phone technology - seems to have unlimited capabilities. I got to think that someone out there publishes a reference book for this phone that would suit my needs.

If you read my previous posts here - I don't like computer/internet based manuals.

Also - don't suggest that I print up this on-line manual.

I want a hard copy that I can keep on the shelf and be able to keep referring to when in need.

I don't want to print up a complete manual.

I don't want to take my computer out everytime I have a usage question.

It's hard to use the phone itself to get the info you need - because you have to read the instructions - then go to that feature on the phone and try to remember the steps you read to get it to work.

but without seeing how the instructional material is presented - it's hard to purchase sight unseen.

I did that on E-Bay with what I thought was the best description of a selection of manuals they listed. I got blindsided - in that this was completed a waste of time buying that manual. See what I said about that in my previous posts in this thread.

I'm hoping that someone out on DU has such a manual they purchased and use - like the type I've described above in this thread. I looking for a good recommendation as I don't want to buy a manual sight unseen.

I'm finding it really hard to believe that such an item is not on the market. This Galaxy S24 Ultra - is a top of the line phone. I would think that there are a lot of people like myself that made the investment to buy this phone - and they want to be able to use the phone to its maximum capabilities.
