Dat screen .
The screen is excellent. I'd say it's the best screen I've seen on a mobile phone. Compared directly to my HTC 10, it looks better than the 10's screen. I think from now, everything should just be AMOLED.
Yeah I haven't been a fan of AMOLED displays for the longest time, but this one has converted me.While I'm still not a fan of AMOLED and will do most anything to avoid it, I will say I've been impressed with the one on this phone. It still doesn't display pure white, but it's the closest of any AMOLED I've come across so far. Side by side to my G4, it's close, but I still prefer my G4's screen over it.
I like many many things, but I will just list the surprising things for me so far:
- I love the Blue Light filter. It was a revelation last night, I must say.
- I am trying the Edge Panels today, and you can really put a surprising amount of cool stuff there. Shortcuts to camera modes (selfies, etc), shortcuts to directions home, other useful stuff. I didn't think it would be at all useful, but so far it is.
- I've actually had fun already with the GIF making tool on the S-Pen
- The AoD is great, I love it. If it doesn't drain battery life much, I will keep it on.
How did you do a shortcut to directions home?

This. Gave it a shot last night while in bed and it is not a gimmick at all. It really makes the phone easier on the eyes.Probably an overlooked feature but I love the blue light filter. I had this on my iPhone. It's great for reading in bed.

You first create the "Home" or "Work" (etc) widget on your home screen. Just go to your widgets and under Maps, there is a 1 x 1 "Directions" widget. You can add that to your home screen to add quick driving directions to any location you choose. It's cool, I have a folder of them for quick access.
Anyway, once you have the widget on your home screen, it will automatically appear in the Edge screen panels selection under "Tasks Edge" for you to add there.

What other edge tasks do you use?
