Not really. I'm not a massive camera buff and any pics are take are just point and shoot type, no real thought beyond that and to be honest the software, hardware and features of the operating system are near enough 100% the reason for my phone choice.
I use Smart Switch then Samsung and Google
Update on this. I bought the whitestone dome, install went perfectly. The fingerprint scanner is very hit and miss which is disappointing
That is disappointing. The hit or miss reports of the Whitestone is what gives me pause about trying one.
I've been mainly using face recognition anyway so it's not gonna be enough for me to remove the protector, especially as the install perfect
Actually I may have to semi retract what I said. The fingerprint lock does require a bit more pressure but the stuff I use, like bank apps, etc seem to be working with a slightly longer pause on the sensor but nothing major.
Disclaimer: Dont blame me if you get one and it goes pear shaped though and nothing works.
Does the "Touch Sensitivity" setting under Display make any difference? Or is it having those issues even with that setting turned on?
Why da heck would you want to put that ugly crap of a screen protector on the phone? Unless you had a history of breaking screen, I wouldn't recommend it. I never had to install a screen protector and never once, not even once broke the screen on my HTC Dream G1, Galaxy S1, Note 2, Note 4, Note 7 to S7E, Note 9. Most of these phones I used for two years.
I'm not seeing how a piece of glass especially when married to a slim case, is almost invisible, qualifies as ugly but each to their own.
Breaking a screen is not my worry, I just dont like scratches on my devices and would rather just replace the glass protector for another when / if the need arises. I appreciate not everybody is as uptight about scratches but hey ho, what can you do!
I should add I'm not some champion for screen protectors, I could care less what anybody else does
For those of you that are interested in the iPhone as a possible next device if the Pixel 4 disappoints, here’s are my first impressions after a day with the 11 pro max.
It’s too early to form too many impressions, but the things that stand out are the things Apple hit on during the unveiling. Battery life is legitimately great. I have something like 5.5 hrs of screen on time today and it’s currently at 54% battery left.
The camera is great from the few pictures I’ve taken. Great pictures every time. However I still think Google handles moving objects a little better but time will tell.
This is more of an iOS thing, but dark mode in iOS 13 is much better than in android 10. Almost every native app as a dark mode and a lot of third party apps are triggered by the systemwide change as well.
Lastly, this phone is way too heavy. It’s a brick an the weight is noticeable. I have big hands and this is going to take getting used to.
If anyone is interested I’ll try to throw up more info as I use it more as someone who’s been primarily on android for the best 5 years but isn’t tied to one ecosystem.

Note 10 plus with 25w charger and ear buds are good enough for me. Fast charging is awesome
Yep and I finally got my 30% off code. Didn't realize that I had to register my device on Samsung Members to get it. So I'm going to pick up the 45 watt charger for $35!
How do you register your device? I've searched but cant find it
Or, ya know, just make a big phone that’s not extremely heavy like the Note, Pixel, OP7, or literally any other large phone other than the ROG.
Not sure. I am in the USA, but that link wont even open for me, not can I find the app
I like both cameras to be honest.But i think the wide angle is a little better on the Note 10.
I think the Note camera tends to blow out some colors in an effort to lighten things.
The stock keyboard I cannot get used to as I have slightly larger hands. Any other recommendations?
