    Galaxy S22 Series

    I'm sure that's part of it. Though the model numbers are now following the year they came out. I really hate Roman numerals for product numbers. I always say "X" and not "10" no matter how often I'm told that's wrong.

    Samsung Note 20 now or wait for S22?

    Yes, you'd need a USB C to micro SD adapter like this. https://www.amazon.com/Rocketek-Portable-Reader-Micro-Adapter/dp/B06XTQVSLL/ref=sr_1_4?crid=9RE94XBHMWHQ

    Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra / S22 Plus - Unboxing and First Impressions

    I have the Note 10+ and S22 Ultra and as devil's advocate, here are some reasons to possibly consider staying with the Note 10+ at least another year. * Some may consider the power and volume buttons on the left side and the pen silo on the right side to be easier. * Both phones have 6.8"...

    Galaxy S22 Series

    https://www.pcmag.com/news/exclusive-samsungs-galaxy-s22-is-a-low-signal-beast These are exciting results for the S22 and the new X65 modem. S22 seems to have much better performance with low cellular signals. Great news for me. I moved to more rural area last year and coverage has been pretty...

    Galaxy S22 Series

    Haha. Hopefully all the cases are slamboy certified. I broke my S21+ last year, first phone in my life I cracked. :cry: So I went back to my Note 20 Ultra. But while I had the S21+ I really did regret not going with the Ultra and getting that better display and bigger size. The camera bump of...

    Galaxy S22 Series

    So the Note is back! The Note Ultra basically has been rebranded as the S22 Ultra this year. And I think that's fine. With the new Fold and Flip series, it just made sense to merge the S and Note series into one and release them at the same time. US and I think a couple other countries are...

    Samsung Note 20 now or wait for S22?

    I'm hanging on to my Galaxy S10+ for the same reason, mostly the last phone to support Gear VR. Just make sure not to upgrade to Android 12 on it. Other than the annoying Bixby button, I really like the look and feel of this phone too. One of my favorites for sure.

    Google 6/6 Pro Specs Leaked

    I upgraded from my Note 20 Ultra to the Pixel 6 Pro. My Note 20 Ultra is still a great phone and I definitely didn't need an upgrade, but I'm a Pixel phone fan and was really hoping to be able to switch back to a Pixel. However after a week and a half, I decided to return the Pixel and go back...

    Discussion Thoughts on Google Fi?

    I've been on Google Fi for 3 months. I think it's a great service if you are in an area with good T-Mobile coverage. I like the prices and the control I have. But sadly T-Mobile/Sprint and that other carrier still don't have good coverage in nearly as many places as the big two carriers...

    Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra

    Since One UI 3.0 I've been having problems with my third party launcher getting reset to the Samsung launcher when using swipe navigation. When I swipe up to go back to home, the "Home app" in Default Applications gets set to blank causing the Samsung launcher to appear instead of my third party...

    Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra

    Interesting read regarding the Snapdragon 888 vs Exynos 2100 in the S21 Ultra https://www.anandtech.com/show/16463/snapdragon-888-vs-exynos-2100-galaxy-s21-ultra So very short version of what I read is that Snapdragon 888 CPU is a pretty good incremental upgrade from the 865. The Exynos 2100...

    Pictures and google account on android

    No that I'm aware of. They are basically stored in the cloud. When you see an image you want to store locally, there is an option to download that image to the phone. But I'm guessing you want all your photos to download to the phone? I'm not aware of an easy way to do that. Google Drive has a...

    Pulled to the darkside

    I've heard that too. But for me I really haven't felt like iOS notifications were an inferior experience. Just a different experience. Android does a great job organizing certain types of notifications together. They are readily visible by the clock and easy to swipe away. And you usually can...

    Pulled to the darkside

    I've gone back and forth between iPhones and Android phones. I regularly carry both, but for the last 3 years Android has been my primary phone. But I've used the iPhone X, 7 Plus, and 6 Plus for a solid year each as my primary. Here are reasons why I think someone might like iOS more... *...
