Yeah, I kinda think flossy gives more of a comprehensive user review personally.
But that''s just me.
 
I dont think they even get close, but that's just my opinion .
Flossy has a lot of passion for the videos he makes, I just feel like the formula is wearing thin is all. Everyone I’ve ever introduced him to loves the videos he makes. The formula is just so stale:

Usual books and ****
White shoes in the building
Major, major go

That’s pretty much how every video goes if the phone is not one of the cheap phones he sometimes reviews. I feel like I actually learn something from mr mobile and especially Lisa and Erica. But there were years there where I would watch flossy review damn near anything and enjoy it, so I get it.

Fair enough, I guess it's one of things that could bug people.
I just see it as his formula.
A bit like Lew and his pauses.
There's not many people who I can watch for an hour and who can make me laugh like Flossy :)

Yes but he did skip over DEX and MS laptop integration which are now becoming more feature rich

His examples on multitasking were hilarious ................ boom

Yep, but in saying that, I've used DEX all of three times on my tablet so for me personally, it's no big thing....to me.

Like I said Iike flossy too but all his reviews are the same, it's at the point where I can predict exactly what he will say, dare I say it's become stale. However he is the only person I can watch for an hour and not get bored, he is certainly entertaining.

I think my one and only gripe about the Note 10 is the battery life.
I'm sure the Plus is fine as it's obviously bigger, but the smaller Note 10's battery could be better.

I remember having the smaller S10 earlier this year and the battery on that was actually really great, but the Notes isn't quite as good it seems.

It's still better than my Pixel 3 (I mean, what isn't!) but it's the only thing I can say negative about it.

3500mah will do that, but I must admit with a 1080p screen I thought it might fare a little better. My note 10+ battery life is on par with my s10+ but not as good as my the s10 5G, the battery life on the 5g was insane!
 
Now I need to order some cases. Will hold off on a Samsung one until I get the phone and I will see if there are any offers in the Samsung members club.

I’m thinking of getting a clear case to show off the back and maybe a wallet style case.
 
Well guys I held on for as long as I could. Just ordered the 256GB aura glow note 10 + 5G. It’s arriving on Tuesday.

Brave with the Apple event just around the corner! Even I'm fatigued with iOS, but their keynotes have a way to make me want their products!

Well there’s certain things that I know and just won’t get, like split screen apps and Dex like competitor. I’ve been with the iPhone for 5 years this November so it’s time for a change. I would struggle to justify the new iPhone again this year. Even though my husband has an upgrade due on the 10th that he’s told me I can use I’m just bored and the cost, even if you include the ecosystem just doesn’t cut it for me anymore.

Congrats well done with the colour its Metallica attractive colour :)
Well we only have the choice of black or aura glow in the UK. I would have gone with the white if it were available here.
 
I’ve learned that Spotify is still way above AM when it comes to music discovery and recommendations. AM’s algorithms have always been way off. But AM is obviously better at library management.
That is one of my problems with Spotify lol

I have Spotify premium as part of my sim only deal but the new update messed up the management. it is just liked songs and full albums you like. I don't get how you can listen to individual songs.

Are you from the UK?

Here we only have the choice of black or the Aura glow. I find black boring and the aura glow was pretty in some lighting conditions and tolerable in other lighting conditions so I went with the aura glow.
 
I saw the Aura Glow in Best Buy right after the keynote and wasn’t sure about it (it looked kind of bright) but when my husband’s arrived at home, it looks silvery blue and kind of just glows in lower light and I love it. I would have ordered it anyway bc it’s new and different but it was sold out when I placed my order. I was undecided between blue and white and would have been happy with either though I ended up with blue.

For cases, I got the Spigen Liquid Crystal and the Samsung blue silicone cases. Both look great but don’t provide much protection so I’m looking at Spigen’s Hybrid Crystal vs clear Otterbox Symmetry for a more protective case. Clumsy carrying a phone so I need a good case.

It sucks because Best Buy has the same exact phone I preordered in stock now but if I were to cancel my preorder, I’d lose out on the free Buds and I have the Samsung premium care ordered (not sure if I can order that if it’s not purchased from Samsung).

But could still get the same $600 trade in promo for the XR. Ugh decisions.
 
What watch should I get? Pre-order the new Galaxy watch active 2 or go for the older galaxy watch with the mechanical rotating bezel?

I was looking on amazon for an otterbox case but there’s nothing on amazon UK yet.

So far I’ve ordered the Spigen crystal clear ultra hybrid case with the built in kick stand but I am looking got others. The Samsung sparkly Led case looks nice but I can’t decode between the black or white one lol

I also like the led wallet case. I had one for my S9+.

I would have gone for white if it were available in the UK. Or the pink if it were available for the Plus version here in the UK. However I did like the aura glow when I saw it in the store earlier this week.

The rotating bezel is nice but I think the Active 2 is going to have a software feature that simulates the rotating bezel without actually having it. Active 2 looks pretty good, imo.
 
Flossy's review (short film) confirms that the iPhone MAX just needs the Pencil & Multitasking to compete with the Note. If this happens, then we'll truly have a battle on our hands for the Game of (power user) Thrones.

Yep
I am debating whether to get the Note 10+ and sell my iPhone XS Max or stick with the XS.

I kinda prefer the Samsung features but the Apple Music is hard to lose as it runs horribly on Android.

I wish they would update the Galaxy watch with Active 2 features soon. That’s what I’m waiting for at the moment but may have to go for the Active 2.
