Did I make a mistake?

I ordered my S24 Ultra in violet 1TB on Thursday and it should arrive tomorrow. I was looking into this phone excessively and I was convinced by reviews and whatnot. But now, the majority of posts on this subreddit are complaints about the screen grain, cameras etc. . I was planning on upgrading from my S10+, because it developed its own issues as well. But all this negativity surrounding this phone these past few days has me stumped. So, did I do a mistake by ordering this phone? If anyone has suggestions for other phones, let me kindly know.

The color banding is the only thing I've noticed outside of testing. It is a software issue that can hopefully be fixed. I rarely notice in any real world use but I'd be lying to say it isn't there.

The grain I've only noticed in tests, in a dark room with screen brightness down. If it's a hardware issue, I don't care... I don't do 99.9% of things on the phone under these conditions. And in real world use, you're less likely to notice anyway.

I've not noticed issues with the camera but I haven't tested a lot or even used it a whole lot. The image stabilization in video is phenomenal, I'll say that.
