    Reviews A little warning regarding the Z flip screen.

    I have absolutely no regrets buying the Z flip given its form factor and general performance. I also figured that keeping the screen closed with a decent case gave me as good protection as my galaxy S 10+ with the screen was always exposed. Unfortunately, while examining the phone at an angle...

    Why buy the very expensive Z Flip?

    In spite of its price, lack of top end tech and potential vulnerability the Z Flip can be a good choice for someone who travels frequently. Here are some of my reasons for purchasing this phone and my limited experience to date. Form factor: easily and comfortably slips into pant, jacket...

    Choosing between S20 and S20+

    To date, I have always purchased the plus versions – i7 plus, S8 plus and S-10 plus. Here are my biased reasons for opting for the S 20 over the S 20+, beyond the cost factor. 1. Smaller form factor. The phone sizes are getting too big for my pockets. 2. Minimal difference in camera capabilities...

    Swapping Sims

    If you are upgrading from a recent version of galaxy S phones, do not swap the sim from your older phone into the S-10. It will fit and work, but, apparently they are internal differences that might constrain the S-10's capabilities. Have received this information from a few sources including...

    Accessories Galaxy S 10 and S-10 plus non-tempered glass screen protectors.

    Even though the galaxy S 10 lineup comes with installed screen protectors, I was investigating other aftermarket flexible screen protectors. Now I could be wrong, but unlike prior screen protectors, that boasted different layers of different materials with different properties, all the...

    Perfect Tempered glass screen protector?

    This is possibly my 4th or 5th post on tempered glass screen protectors. My experience with the galaxy S7 edge was very poor and turned me off to tempered glass screen protectors. Given the fact that I travel a lot I decided to try out the Zagg sapphire hybrid glass screen protector. I actually...

    Help Samsung Dex Home using battery

    To start off, I am very happy with my battery life. Overnight usage with Wi-Fi and location on is still absurdly low (see attachments). Usage during the day is very good, however I am puzzled by the relative overnight usage by "Samsung Dex Home". I don't use it and I have in fact used a Package...

    Tempered Glass Screen protector that seems to work for a skeptic

    I have progressed from a galaxy S6 edge to a galaxy S7 edge to now a galaxy S8 plus. Starting with the S6 edge through the S7 edge I have played with a wide range of tempered glass screen protectors with absolutely no success. Most of them did not fit properly and were far from case friendly. In...

    Blazingly fast iris scanner speeds

    Fingerprint reader location be damned. As one gets used to properly locating the phone (from the face) and muscle memory kicks in, the iris scanner is practically instantaneous without any image even appearing on the scanning window. It just takes a few days of practice focusing on properly...
