Samsung Galaxy S10 ad shown in Norwegian TV
- Thread starter hanmik
- Start date
Curious about prices. Sprint has the S9 for $5/month and the S9+ for $10/month. Those are pretty insane prices. I am more than happy about the speed of my S8+, but I have dropped it enough over the last two years that I am ready for an upgrade just to get rid of the physical damage. At those prices, might just lower my monthly bill instead of going for the latest and greatest.
Needs? I dont stream audio ever unless its on my smart speakers whilst cooking or as an alarm at home.
So my 128gb memory card is getting full, I had to delete a ton of video at a concert the other week
When would that ever be a useful feature? Do you plan on buying two phones? Use cases for this seem extremely narrow.
Just seems like a useless feature used to say they "innovated" rather than something someone might actually use.
And here we are, again. When Apple invents this feature it will be called "revolutionary".
It's a nice feature that lets you juice up other qi gadgets/phones when necessary. It's a feature, and the more the merrier.
Also, LOL at comparing it to the iPad.pro charging the pencil. Not surprised it came from the biggest fanboy on era.
exactly. same with other features samsung introduced first.
When did I bring up Apple? Stick to the topic.
So you're out and about and your friend has a dying phone and doesn't have a charger for some reason. So you both decide you'll stop and sit down someplace so he can slowly charge his phone off of yours. Hours later, you both have half-dead batteries.
Progress!
If it's general Qi charging, it'd mean you could use the phone to charge anything with built-in wireless charging - correct? So basically all current Galaxies, Pixels, Iphones, etc. Means the phone doubles as a battery pack for other phones.
Now did Samsung include this tech exclusively for the inevitable ad where an iPhone user has to ask an 10+ user for a charge? Almost certainly. Still, it's a neat feature that will only become more useful as the technology becomes standardized. Imagine using your phone to charge your wireless headphones, or power external accessories - all without an additional cord or dongle.
Maybe your GF/BF/Wife/Husband has a phone iwth wireless charging and a smaller battery (most dont have a 4100 in them and this has qucik charging with a cable when home) and maybe they need charging when you dont have a charger on you?
That cant happen, nah...
How often are you anywhere without a charger?
How long does Qi charging take (particularly on phones that already have this feature that Samsung is now getting credit for having "invented")?
Why would I give up my own battery life so me and someone else can both have nearly dead devices?
It seems like a solution in search of a problem. I mean, sure it's "neat." But it doesn't seem like it'll be useful except in extremely rare situations.
But whatever. It's obvious this is turning in Phone Warz shit, so I'll drop it here. Lord knows someone can't point out the flaws of one phone without doing so because they're currently jerking off onto another phone.
It will probably be advertised to charge the wireless earbuds and could be helpful to charge a friend's or significant other's phones. Outside of that I can't think of what else it could be used for but still a unique new feature for a phone to have.
Why are you so fucking aggressive over a feature?
You lost your shit over nothing. It's a nice feature, and just that. It actually is a fast wireless charger, too (9watts compared to the 3-5(?) Watts of the mate 20.pro).
It may be a gimmick, but, hey, it's there and doesn't hurt anybody.
Look, I need the highest quality possible when recording 8k videos OK, because high bitrates and quality are important and better!
*goes back to watching videos on YouTube and Netflix*

Wait seriously? Where I didn't see pics of that.
That sounds disgusting what the hell.
Only for glass or so i've heard plastic is fine its because of the thickness of glass that the fingerprint scanner has trouble with.
Any time I am out of my car/home/place of work
So a lot of the fucking time.
Why? because you want to halp someone and the battery is big enough to not be an issue.
And you are the one turning it into a war
You think a phone being able to change another device is a flaw?
As neat as this phone is, I'm going to sit this one out and wait for S11 or even S12. This tech is going to need to mature a bit before I trust it.
Plus the keyhole camera is fucking dumb. Slightly less dumb than a notch, but still dumb.

What flaw tho? no one is telling you to use it, its just added functionality.
Look who you're replying to. Biggest Apple astro turfer in here. Usually gets his facts wrong then ditches the thread completely.
What if you have a charger or battery pack and your friend doesn't have the right cable with him/her?
Also 10 minutes of charging my galaxy watch would go a long way.
Looks good but I have a Mate 20 Pro and my battery is mine, if someone is outta juice tough shit.
I am pretty sure the use case for "reverse" wireless charging was already revealed to be for charging accessories like the wireless Samsung earbuds or presumably the Samsung watch as well. Also, I don't know why people are going so crazy about this one feature. Even Apple is rumored to have it in the next phone from a reliable source: https://9to5mac.com/2019/02/17/apple-16-inch-macbook-pro-display-more/ - I am actually looking forward to how the tune on this forum changes when it's revealed, lol.
For people asking about the
Not a big deal
I could see that hole being a weakpoint
It seems that white stone has a solution if you are willing to shell out 60 dollars that is

Samsungs official screen film has no hole but that's plastic an also way too expensive for a screen protector.
Are screen protectors that common? I'm all for a case but haven't used a screen protector ever.
What are the chances of the front camera ever being hidden behind the screen?
I see myself using this mainly to top up my smartwatch that's Qi wireless charging only. It's not like I'm going to carry the cradle around with me so this will come in handy.
For people asking about the
Not a big deal
That really is a big deal. May even be deal-breaker actually, since I always have glass protectors on my phone.
Ignoring that it looks awful, that hole will be a complete magnet for dirt collecting inside and under the edges.
Oneplus seems to have a glass one that works with the 6T's sensor, and it's $20.
I'm sure there will be more options when the phone is released.
