why don't these "insiders" just spill out everything? I know we're only a couple of weeks away, but why not tell the battery size on the S10 as well? Latest rumor said 3300mAh, which I doubt if the S10+ being 4100mAh is accurate...
You'd almost think there was this popular feature that phones have nowadays that require the back to not be metal. I wonder.
In the midrange which is between 150-300$/€, wireless charging is non-existent, and none of the phones I mentioned has it as a feature. I would agree if it was a plastic build with wireless charging and a better chipset because of the lower cost, but when the spec sheet is identical to last years midrange with only a noticable bump in the camera, there is no reason for the build quality decline.You'd almost think there was this popular feature that phones have nowadays that require the back to not be metal. I wonder.
Between the M-Series, Redmi Note 7, and the Moto G7s, somehow phone makers are back at it with plastic built phones. Metal is somehow forbidden and all phones need to copy the premium glass sandwich look. Better yet, besides camera and USB type-c, everything bar the SD660 in the Note 7 means that phones are becoming overpriced again for the available chipset. 2019 is quickly becoming garbage for the midrange outside of Nokia, and even they are with their faults considering the Notch frenzy they have going on.
Actually, despite the Amoled Screen, the Z3 Play is a rubbish deal at 400. The Nokia 7.1 you mention is basically the same phone but with a smaller screen as you said, and if you find that high priced at 349, then the Z3 Play is ludicrous. The Nokia 8.1 however if it launches at 400 would be an excellent deal. Other than that there really isn't anything superb for the asking price on the horizon, and MWC so far is looking to be a pretty boring one.I was looking at that Nokia 7.1 at Best Buy tonight. It's a pretty phone but...tiny. 5.8 aint cutting it in 2019. Honestly putting my S8+ next to it, my screen was both much larger and brighter (I'm pretty much OCD about screen brightness). Plus 349 is a touch high. When the G7 has a 6.2" model with the same chipset coming for 299 now. Plus for that matter the LG G6 is 349 now at Best Buy now and kinda looks better too.
Honestly the budget phone on display that held up best to my S8+ was one people dont talk about, the Z3 play. Big, vibrant AMOLED screen. Really only a minor step down from my S8+. I guess priced higher than the others at 399, but I think it sales for less.
What's annoying to me is how few mid range phones come to the USA nowdays. Half (most) the good budget ones dont even show up here. Like the Pocophone F1. Doesn't help the Huawei being blacklisted nonsense.
About the S10 I'm actually a bit excited unlike the S9. It looks like a major design change with the no bezel, camera hole in screen look. And I was looking, the Snapdragon 855 is now about 2x as fast as the 835 in my phone, single core geekbench being ~3400 855 vs ~1800 835. Thinking about it that way kinda drove it home. Although really, I dont really see a need for more power than my S8+, as it's fine in day to day use.
just dont know if i could stomach spending near a grand on a new s10 near release. probably not. especially when if i drop it and the screen cracks, which is a very decent possibility, it's ruined to me.
Honestly the fear of droppage and cracked screen keeps me from high end phones as much as anything. I cant abide a cracked phone. At least if it's a mid ranger, then I"m only out 200-400.

Should he interesting to see how well the S10 lineup fares considering everyone is upgrading less and less. The projected prices are really gonna turn people off.
Even with the starting price after launch, it always ends up being cheaper than whatever the currency translated prices are that these tech sites posts as if it's confirmed, final information. Then in the comments people start complaining about the pricing like they have the memory of a goldfish and don't remember the past two years.
It's mostly cuz or the bogo deals.Samsung owners always regret their purchase and dump on Craigslist a week later. Their marketing still gets people every year. Poor faceless.
Nope. That Exynos is fine.I picked up a Note 8 Duos for $~300 yesterday. Did I screw up by not paying extra for the US version? US version would have cost me an extra $100 or so.
I wanted the 9, but didnt want to pay $700 used for one in decent condition. Probably just going to use this until the next Note.

No wifi calling on tmobile or AT&T. No Samsung pay without doing something extra. Really only difference
Okay cool. Dont really care about the wifi calling.
I was able to install samsung pay and add my cards no problem. Is it something with trying to actually pay that's the problem?
if only your fave had marketing that gets people.Samsung owners always regret their purchase and dump on Craigslist a week later. Their marketing still gets people every year. Poor faceless.

Anyone more excited about the S10E than the S10? I miss flat glass panels and smaller size. Tired of my Note 9 already.
My GF does use a used S7 now and boy the battery life seems really bad. Samsung is offering a battery exchange for 50€ but I am not sure this will solve the issue (and they want the phones data for this... wtf.). I searched a bit and Oculus apps was an issue at one point but I deactivated all of that. Any more I can do?
If you live near a ubreakiFix store, just take it to them. They're sanctioned by Samsung and will only change what's wrong with the hardware.My GF does use a used S7 now and boy the battery life seems really bad.

We got it used so I guess that also comes into play. I wonder how much a new battery would improve - is there such a thing to see the battery health on Android/Samsung?Did she get it around launch? If so it's basically 3 years old. You're gonna get some battery degradation.
I don't think those exist over here in Austria :)There are plenty of phone shops that offer repairs and such but honestly I dont really trust them.If you live near a ubreakiFix store, just take it to them. They're sanctioned by Samsung and will only change what's wrong with the hardware.
Any software tests required that may or may not pull data will be done in front of you and they will state everything they're doing. When I had my S8 screen fixed, they even left my phone skins installed when they did it.
If I'm in the Android Pie Beta would I need to downgrade in order to get the update?
Galaxy Notebook?gimme stylus support on the Samsung foldable.
call it Samsung NoteBook.
My wallet is ready
Oooo, I hadn't heard about those.i just want the Galaxy Buds to be even better than the IconX 2018 so they can be my next
Jesus, this new Gmail is white white white. It's pretty nice, but would be so much better with a dark theme. I mean, it's not that complicated to make people happy.
Depends entirely on each respective value. I'd imagine the Samsung is worth more.I have a choice to make.
Currently rocking the Ocean Blue Note 9 128gb (exynos as I am UK)
Somebody has offered me a Twilight Mate 20 Pro as a straight swap and I dunno what to do.
