Current Events > Just said fuck it and upgraded my phone.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Going from a note 8 on a 5gb a month plan, to a note 10+ with unlimited data, Apple music included in the plan, and a year of Disney plus.

I'm too much of a slut for the goddamn s pen and extra big ass phones.

The Note 10+ is a worthy upgrade, especially from the 8. Congrats

I don't own a pc, and do most of my business and such on my phone, as well as YouTube being my primary form of video entertainment, so I get a shitload of use out of my phone, so I like having the power and tablet esque features.

Plus, getting Apple music included with my plan is nice, I prefer Spotify but I'm not going to complain.

I recommend you grabbing an app called YouTube Vanced online. It's basically YouTube pro, and you can multitask with background play.

Also a good app for a lot of Samsung customizations is Good Lock from the Galaxy Store and all its sub apps. It's nearly everything you need for Android customizing on your phone.

I went from a 8 plus iPhone to a 11 pro max, no regrets so far

Is it any different than youtube app's existing picture in picture mode?

The S "plus" series are what I tend to get. Otherwise, I'd just hop up on that Note train.

Fun fact: the s pen stylus works flawlessly as a mouse when playing baldur's gate 2 mobile version.

I didn't expect the note 10+ to be as much of upgrade over the note 8 as it is for some reason. This thing is fucking sweet. Even the music in the included headphones sounds significantly better than my note 8. I turned on Dolby atmos and it just sounds like butter. I love that it came with a screen protector already on it, I don't know why that isn't the default for all devices.

I also have to say I don't miss the headphone jack outside of needing an adapter for my car aux cord. I'm assuming the improved sound quality in these headphones is because it's a USB-c headset.

Also, thank fuckin Zeus there's no Bixby button anymore.

The best thing about the Bixby button was using an app to reprogram it to be a one touch screenshot/flashlight button.

I hated how every time there was an update, you had to reprogram it again.

I have a Galaxy S8, and feel no compulsion to upgrade from it. My contract is up next month, and I can upgrade free of charge. The only reason I might is because I see virtually no break in my bill per month, regardless of whether my contract is up or I still owe money on the phone.

Im what they call a "power user" in a sense. Since I have no pc and do a lot of business and other things on my phone, I like to get the latest and greatest Samsung every two years. I've been exclusively Samsung since the s3.

I was going to just stay with my note 8 but the battery took a huge shit and I said fuck it.

I upgraded to my current S10+ from an S8+ and felt it was a worthwhile purchase. I like the multi-camera system, the ultrasonic sensor, the battery life, and the display size/quality.
