Just to correct ya, Samsung did not ditch the best features. The new active watches are not replacements for the Galaxy Watch they are additions. Those will be updated later this year.

Did Samsung announce new watches for later this year? If so, I completely missed that part of their presentation. And they confirmed they’re keeping the rotating bezel?

Regardless, the Active doesn’t have a rotating bezel on a device using an OS optimized for that type of hardware navigation. Navigation via swipes on an OS that works best with that rotating bezel looks clunky at best.

Nope...just waiting for you to find ANY DATA to back up your claims.
Lets see what you got!

I don't care one way or the other, but everyone knows the Xr battery is better than Xs max so posting a graph with it not even on there is FAKE, so wouldn't believe the S10 is on top, called out :)

back pedalling some :)
didn't think you had anything...so I will help you.....

Here is the XR beating a lot of phones...but the XR has LOWER specs....not a true flagship phone

Now here is where the S10+ beats it....
AND it has a better display and a better camera and better build materials...and a better battery all the while having to power a bigger better brighter display!

is that just your opinion or do you have data to back that up?

Samsung have clearly done a lot of improvements in OneUI and they are not getting credit for it.

The S10+ is not the only one seeing great battery life, in the battery tests the Note9 is often included and from what I have seen the Note9 has made quite the leap since last year.

So adding a 4100mAh battery seems to be just part of Samsung strategy to get better battery life, it seems they have also done a lot of tweaking in terms of the phone (probably Display) power usage.

Think latest rumour is August with note 10

Not confirmed on rotating bezel though

ah deflecting, we are talking battery, nice try.
Did you read the graphs? Did you add up the numbers? Those are battery numbers......
so you are going to ignore exactly what you asked for?

You said you wanted to see the XR battery comparison. I GAVE you the battery comparisons.

Sp far you have done nothing but state your opinion as fact with NOTHING to back it up!

Yeah my dad updated his note 9 and said it’s a good improvement

Reckons the facial recognition is much improved

Maybe so but the XR doesn’t have features to drain the battery. You can’t do real productivity on it which you can on Samsung devices

Let's please not start this nonsense again. Yes, there are things you can do on an Android phone that you can't do on an iPhone but there are millions of people with professional occupations or running successful businesses from iPhones who will beg to differ.

That is great news. I gave my Note8 to my mother to use as her 2nd phone along with her iPhone X, long story short, I have not seen much of the iPhone X since late last year as she has transitioned to the Note8 as her daily driver , need to find out if she has updated it though, would like to see if OneUI has improved it to.

One thing that always gets me with these videos is the footage of video from the front camera. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but who shoots video at length from the front camera?!

Yeah, I did the research and there are certain things neither Samsung’s watches nor Wear OS can replicate (easily) that I use daily on the Apple Watch, things like offline audiobooks on Audible, apps such as Authy, 1Password, AnyList, offline podcasts (not a Spotify user and not switching) and a few other things. I also don't like how Samsung ditched the best feature of their previous watches, the rotating bezel and don't have the crown to navigate either.

See this is what’s holding me back from switching also. I looked at the Galaxy Watch at Best Buy and man I hated all the preloaded watch faces and I don’t care if there’s “thousands” of watch faces if they all suck. Another thing is I have a decent sized band collection and again all the replacement bands that I’ve seen are hideous as well. Ugh.

I’m sure they’ll be plenty of people who like to video blog using their phones?
