Wifi Direct sharing? the thing that's been around since the Galaxy S6?From vergie
Samsung is also famous for throwing a billion confusing features at Android, a habit it has, thankfully, toned down in the past few years. Still, there are a few new things, but most only work with other Galaxy phones. There are two new ways to share files: over Wi-Fi Direct to other Galaxy phones or via a temporary 24-hour download link for anybody.
The direct download thing that offers 5gb a day.Wifi Direct sharing? the thing that's been around since the Galaxy S6?
I get you, totally, but really if you're not a professional, you can do with a mid range phone. I got my S10e for 400 euros (in a sale though) and it has all those things at practically 1/3rd of that price. These conferences are great at making it seem like everything they talked about in last years conference is worthless all of a sudden, but it isn't.The thing is, I would like 3 things:
- amazing camera
- snappy as fuck
- good battery
To get these it seems the only route is going flagship. But they add features that I don't care and then the price goes crazy.
Google legit has nothing to say about Stadia at all. They could've easily announced Stadia support for the phone or at least a release window
i paid $500 for my Pixel 4 XL and trade in is giving me $600 LOL
Thanks Socrates, would've never guessed that on my own.
yeah Link Sharing has been around for a while too... Googling shows it as far back as the GS7
They probably don't want to run into the same issue as last year where they ran out of Galaxy Buds for the promo last year and ended up giving away credit anyway.They did increase the trade-in prices from last year – $600 credit for either an S10 or S10+ (last year I got $550 for my S9+). There's no mention of free Galaxy Buds+ with any model, just "Samsung instant credit" (doesn't indicate whether the new Buds qualify) amounts of $100/$150/$200.

I've only had Galaxies since I got my first smart phone with the S3. If it doesn't have a headphone jack, I will be looking elsewhere.
People dont realize there are still many lower priced phones from the likes of Asus, OnePlus, Google, and others, even Samsung like the A line with still some really nice specs and features.

LG has the best headphone jacks
This feels like an american thing, i always find it bizarre how people talk about how they got their phone for free when in reality you are paying for it with your monthly payments.I feel like when you mention how much you paid for a phone, you should also state your monthly phone bill, since that's usually where the true cost of your phone is hidden.
buds+ being preorder bonus only for the s20+ and ultra is such bullshit. The s20 is as expensive as the s10 was and i still got a preorder bonus for that.
There isn't gonna be a Sprint anymore
The Verge video also said there is some service built in that lets you upload presumably whatever files to a free cloud service so you can share the link with people and it's 5GB a day? damn.

Well, I can only speak for myself, but I've been pretty happy with Sony smartphones. On the better side for both speed and length of Android updates, a UI very close to stock Android with very little clutter and I personally liked most of their designs (though that's of course a personal preference). The cameras never were that good (kind of ironic for a Sony product), but eh, I never want to use my smartphone for serious photography anyway.

Blame Qualcomm, they are only selling the latest Snapdragon with a 5G modem built in. They don't really have a choice besides using the same CPU they used last year (in the US at least)5G is currently a joke, it's a shame they are using it as an excuse to jack up prices by $200 for each model. You either get 5G that's barely faster than 4G (t mobile) or fast 5G that has 0 building penetration and available outside in like 3 small areas in a major city like Houston.
I mean they are offering the s20 and s20 5G, so idk.I mean, can you blame them when Sprint won't be around much longer?
You'll be done with a lot of brands in the future then
