People arguing on the graph between XR and S10 Plus seems to be hilariously missing one point of how bad the Google Pixel 3 XL is doing, and consider how much Google is charging the Pixel for.

I just visited Best Buy to check out the S10, wow. I feel the regular S10 is an odd duck. It's so close in size to the S10+ without the better front camera and larger battery. Really like the S10e as well. I didn't perceive any lag just from my limited use. Love the system wide dark theme. I tried Samsung browser on my Pixel 3 XL and enabled its dark theme, it's dark gray haha. It's solid black on the S10.

S10+ is just beautiful, don't need to rehash others' comments. The system wide dark theme totally obscures the camera punch outs.

I will probably pull the trigger and pre order the S10+ tomorrow haha. Didn't expect to like it this much.

I’ll always find a specific use case every once in a while where I could utilize multi-window apps on my phone. Always. I use multi-window constantly on my iPad Pro.

take the pissing match elsewhere, please.
I wasn't going to reply to you....but I wasn't involved in any pissing contest. I was providing intelligent data to correct a false statement. I provided conclusive data to backup everything i said.
The other person stated their POV as fact with no data to back up their false claims.

Then if don't want to read what I have to say....there is always the ignore button.

That’s such a good idea. I’m surprised we haven’t seen that before.
Customer orders hotly anticipated phone, there’s a launch date for general masses, but one retailer gets given the ok to send a couple out earlier to surprise those who have bought.

I like it! The UK never breaks release dates outside of video games (for things I purchase), phone in particular are never shipped early to my knowledge!

We didn't know Apple would be lazy or sloppy when the 2gb RAM iPads started getting multi-window and PiP support. This was a few iOS versions back. Common sense would dictate that Apple should add that to the 5.5" Plus models since they actually could use the real-estate, but Apple didn't have that sense. Next, iOS 12 was meant to be the major update to revitalize the dilapidated iOS 7-esque UI, but iOS 11 happened. Now, people are having major hopes for iOS 13, but I am not counting on the "Walled-Garden" to make the critical adjustments needed to improve productivity on their smartphones.

There is more to smartphones than multi-tasking. I don't speak for everyone, but I can for myself. I chose the iPhone XS Max on a carrier deal plus it was the only device with hardware and software cohesion. Sadly, the XS Max's antennae are awful.

The only reason Apple didn’t bring it to iPhone is because they wanted to sell you an iPad, too. It’s all pure greed, not stupidity.

For me S10 is the perfect size. I can clearly see a difference between plus and the regular. Also there is a 20g difference in weight, which you can absolutely feel. I just like light weighted phones.

Sadly a lot of what they do now is just greed. The fact they plan to include their normal 5w charger in the box this year is a disgrace

imho an ultimate form of greed:

the iPhone Xr clear case from the Apple Store retailprice: $45 which probally costs about $0,90 to make.

Sometimes I really do think Apple Inc. is really out of this world, deep inside their own Apple bubble

Can blame an apple superfan for that

Anyways I’ve never used secure folder can you actually hide those photos from coming up in google photos? Struggling to find an answer for this
There have been some interesting points raised whilst general chit chat re Apple not least of all for those who are on a budget or concerned about re sale or trade in prices

What with bundled ear buds, screen protector, clear case (for many) fast charger all included your well in front $ wise

The secure folder says what it is :) nothing gets in there however

If you use the camera app outside the secure folder you need to switch off your data as photos will be uploaded to cloud accounts faster than you can open your gallery and move them to your secure folder, once in the secure folder if you were not fast enough you can check your cloud account to see what was uploaded before the move

If you launch your camera from the secure folder no issue :)

Whats done in the secure folder stays in the secure folder and why it's a preferred enterprise solution

Cheers for that, I’m not sure if to bother with google photos as the stock gallery would surely be fine.

If I got the tab S4 for example as tablet for the sofa can you sync all photos from your phone to your tablet or can that only be done via google photos?

Does anyone know if the clear case is included in the UK models? It doesn’t say in the “what’s in the box”. But then it doesn’t say anything about a screen protector either which all regions are getting.

Personally I do not use Google Photos I tend to use onedrive as I have 1TB but with most Samsung phones you get a free 2 year 200GB or you can just use Samsung stock to synch across all or use both :)

I think on my Tab S3 we just use Samsung as we both use the device with separate logons for occasional holiday use

Nice one, not had a Samsung for 2-3 years and I know they have made good improvements for using the cloud so this is good to know :)

Yep it's got better and you can even create incremental secure folder back-ups now and download to new or different devices, my only gripe is if you wish to take them out of secure folder they default to original location and not a selected folder

You are NOT exaggerating. There have been plenty of times that I've deleted a photo instantly after I took the shot, and the cloud still uploaded it.

The hilarious thing about the Pixel 3 XL is that it has got away with A LOT of crap that other Android OEMs would have been hammered for

For its outrageous price its not at all a good deal, had it been priced like a Mid Range phone it would have made far more sense.
