Damn right it would never happen with Apple.
You'd have to buy the Buds, they would not give them away.

It's more of an inconvenience than false advertising, you'll live.

C'mon 2-3 weeks AND this lol, We have just discovered that the bonus Galaxy Buds had not been attached to your order. Haha. What a crock.

So they just discovered everyone’s buds didn’t ship, typical Samsung service.

Oh Samsung, this would never happen with Apple, people down under that ordered direct from Samsung are getting these emails.
Talk about false advertising.

Thank you for your recent pre-order of your new Samsung Galaxy S10. We have just discovered that the bonus Galaxy Buds had not been attached to your order. We apologise for this inconvenience and will endeavor to ship the bonus Galaxy Buds to your nominated delivery address approximately within the next 2-3 weeks.

What if it was the other way? Get the buds now and the phone will be coming in three weeks.:D:eek:;)

After the note 7 debarkle with returns and refunds I wouldn’t trust Samsung with running a chook raffle.
I should say Samsung direct, not telcos.

Ok been playing with my S10+ briefly while all my apps were installing, I have not done the update for the FPS yet which is suppose to improve it. Pre update the FPS is great but will require a little time to hit the correct spot with muscle memory with screen off, works with slightly damp fingers but not completely dripping wet. Interestingly my S9+ speakers sound better, they are thee same loudness but the S9 has a more full sound but not a deal breaker by any means. The screen is gorgeous and is notably brighter then my S9. I will report back once I've used the phone some more.

Did I read that the update gives a fingerprint image on the screen to indicate sensor location with Always On Display?

Ok update done, I also pulled off the factory screen protector and the FPS is FAST now, as fast as the the S9 FPS. Love this phone! Also you don't even notice the double cutout for the front facing cam, Samsung implemented it very well.


nice i have my S10+ with 1TB waiting to be collected but not sure if I should.

for one - I tried the camera compared to the iPhone and the iPhone's camera is way way better - the S10+ was yellowish

also in wide mode it was distorted. The screen is good. The sound is rubbish as well. and they are not using the https://9to5google.com/2019/02/27/samsung-eufs-3-storage-production/

sad not sure what to do.

I use two iphones a XS max and the X was and still thinking to swap the X for the 1TB S10+

Seems odd as most Videos I’ve seen is S10 being better than max

When did you try the camera? Get the phone and do the update

Is the factory screen protector just the typical protector for initial handling or is it supposed to be a protector for every day use? Is there a fingerprint "logo" on the Always On Display to show sensor location - as an option?

So there is a protective film on the back then a factory installed very thin screen protector on the front, yes it can be used everyday but it makes the fps significantly slower. Yes the always on display shows the fingerprint position but I don't use aod. But I can assure everyone that with no protector the fps will not disappoint!

Very glad to hear the fingerprint sensor is now working faster (and more accurate?) after the last software update!

Thanks

My boss got his S10 yesterday, and loving it, just gave it a go, absolutely stunning. Insane how much screen Samsung has fitted in what is such a small body, very impressive.

His is the standard S10, not the +, so he has the single Camera in front which looks great.

Gotta say, this has been a pretty frustrating preorder experience. When I pre-ordered it almost 2 weeks before the official release, I assumed if have it on release day. Still no shipping and I can still cancel on Samsung's site... And I'm very tempted to now. My Pixel 3 XL is running perfect after the Match update.

I wouldn't be so disappointed if I didn't see people who ordered closer to a week after me already getting their phones delivered today.

[doublepost=1551849158][/doublepost]First thing to go may be that Sammie fitted screen protector making the fingerprint scan requiring too much pressure or it could just be whilst I am transferring data over from my Note 9

In the meanwhile unwrapping the buds ................................

Buds very cute, got them on charge

Just looked at the instructions on phone box contains a free clear back case , nice one Samsung
Congratulations!!!

Enjoy the beast!

Yeah that's my status too. I think I'm going to give nice until Friday since that is when they say it'll be here. If there's still no movement than I'll either cancel or ask for a credit of some kind.
