Tried to hold out for the Pixel XL 4, but my original Pixel 1 XL's battery was so shot that I couldn't take it anymore. Less than an hour of use on battery saver would drop it to 20%, and it would die at 20% not even making it down to 0.
So got myself a heavily discounted Pixel 3 XL. Feels good to be able to use a phone again without having to be attached to a charger.
what phone?I rarely get annoyed about Samsung's late updates because they typically put in their features up front and they tend to be more useful than stock android. I'm legit annoyed this time that I've been hearing about the Samsung night mode for well over 2 months and still have not received the update for it. I have the unlocked US version so I understand I'll be getting the update last. But it's kind of ridiculous that the last update for me was June 4th with a May 1st security patch.
And no I still don't want a Pixel and I don't care about those devices.
S10what phone?
Note 8 and 9 are on the July security patch as of late July and got the June patch in early July.
Can't believe it took me so long to figure out how to disable the terrible gesture navigation thing on Pie. Having a separate home button and currently running apps button is so much better.
Android's settings menu needs some work, it doesn't make much sense for "Gestures" option to be in the System menu. User interface could be a separate category.

I think that's what I'll do too. I love the stylus, but I'm guessin the S10+ is better?Note 10 is pretty much ResidentSleeper.
Less use features than Note 9, center notch, and no Snapdragon refresh unlike the Exynos refresh.
I'm tempted to just get a Note 9 or a S10+ 12GB RAM for cheap instead /shrugh
Waiting for the Fold tbh.
If you don't need the S Pen, S10+ has everything you can get from the Note plus headphone jackI think that's what I'll do too. I love the stylus, but I'm guessin the S10+ is better?
I'd like to use my Note8 for another year, but the Pie update killed its battery life and it has become a huge inconvenience :\
I posted this in the galaxy unpacked OT, but it's pretty slow.
I asked if it would be better to get either a TabS4, a TabS5e, or wait and get the TabS6. I'm a samsung/android guy and would like to get a tablet. Just wanted to see what anyone recommend.
depends on what you want an android tablet for. all 3 basically have the same amoled panel, so for video consumption all are the best. If you wanna do some light laptop work.. tab s6 is the best bet. 4gb ram on my tab s4 is a struggle with reloads.
definitely recommend tab s4 > 5e especially with the price these days. also has headphone jack, and spen
Thanks for that. It's pretty much just gonna be an extension of my note 9 when charging. Basically a Netflix/ companion app/ e reader.
Thanks!
I got a s10e two days ago and have a really weird bug. Whenever I am on wifi, I get a "new voicemail" notification. There are no voicemails when I call it or in my Tmobile visual voicemail. I also tried clearing the phone app cache and data. If I am not connected to wifi, I do not get the notification. Any ideas?
I'm having this as well on Tmo. S10. Not just you. Appears to be a service side issue.
Edit: I have the s10+. I usually get the new note; that's why I'm still on the Jump plan. But it would seem like the fold is the better Note this year?
Friend of mine for his as well, does your keyboard also have a gap between the bottom and the navigation buttons of the OS? He shared a screenshot with me, and there's a strange and large gap on his phone. Even with other keyboards.
Is the consensus that next year's phones will have the camera underneath the screen? Or is that still too new a tech for it to be widespread?
The main reason I'm upgrading to the N10+ is because I'm able to pay the 20/month I'm paying for the NO. Otherwise I'd probably look into the S10+ myself. I love the S pen too so I definitely wanted to make a lateral move when it comes to that.Also in a separate post about the note 10. I wont lie I'm a gadget lover, of course I want the Note 10 if money was no object. That said comparing it to my months old OP7 Pro, I'm very happy with my OP7. I still get 12GB RAM, 6.7", no camera cutout,and a 90hz screen and paid 749 for it. Whereas it would cost me way over 1000+ to get 12GB RAM on the Note 10 (at least at first, Samsung prices do fall). I honestly figures Samsung would go all screen no camera cutout with the Note 10, either with a popup cam or the coming camera under display tech, but I guess it wasn't ready. Next year I guess.
I will say the one thing that bugs me a little about my OP7 is despite that in reviews the screen brightness nits is measured close to the latest Samsungs and Apples, in reality outside on auto brightness in direct sun it's a lot harder to see than my old s8+. Not sure if it's because of the super large 6.7 screen, the factory preapplied plastic screen protector (which my S8 didn't have) causing glare, or just a actual dimmer screen. That's really a very minor issue though, almost never affects me. Inside the brightness is great.
Alright. It's just I expect Apple to be behind with a year like they usually are. And Galaxy S10 already has the cutout instead of the teardrop. I was hoping the S11 could have a chance of hiding it behind the screen. But maybe it's too soon.Not at all. Maybe some Chinese brand put an experimental design like that out but nothing more than that.
the rumors suggest next iphone design has hole punch for example, you can expect more of that design replacing tear drop notches that were the prominent design this year.
