    Average lifespan of a Flagship phone? Passing on my Note 9 to family

    Same here. Always in a case, and make sure it's updated regularly. Sad to see this one go, personally, but I'm sure my dad will love it (and I hope it will continue to serve him well for a few more years)!

    Thanks. What's your current 'setup'? What do you back up in Samsung that you can't in Google? Also, how can you configure photo backups so that whenever you delete stuff from your phone, it wouldn't be deleted in the Cloud as well?
