Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had any real world usage on the regular S20 with the screen set to 120 refresh rate over 60? The battery in the S20 is roughly 25% bigger than my current S10 (again the regular S10 and not the Plus model) so if I can get similar battery life out of the S20...

I use Google Messages bc you can use it on multiple devices like a computer and an iPad. Textra is much better though but can only be used on your phone and works better with the Samsung Galaxy Watch. When I’m at home I’ll use Google Messages. When I’m on the go or at work and not by my...

I've been using the Active 2 for a a bit and my take on it is that it mirrors what was said in this thread. Great battery life but not as developed as the Apple Watch. I was just wondering if there is a recommended email program for the Active 2 that has the ability to "Mark as Read" emails...

Do any of these reviews talk about the battery life hit on the S20 (not the S20+ or Ultra Models) when on 120 frame rate? TomsGuide reported that the ultra models battery life went down by about 25% or from 12 hours to 9 hours roughly.

I believe Google Messages or Android Messages supports RCS. I’m able to use that on my Galaxy S10, my computer, and my iPad if it helps. It’s not buttery smooth like iMessages BUT it gets the job done. Also, as time is going by I’m finding that iMessage was just one of several messaging apps...

As of now I've not pulled the trigger to upgrade even though I can trade in my S10 for $600. For me the main issue is that the 5G is not something I need, the 120HZ display is going to take roughly 25% off of the battery (see TomsGuide review of the Ultra), and S10 is already pretty good. Also...

I was just wondering if there are any recommendations for apps that have the "Mark as Read" option for both the Galaxy Phone (S10 in my case) and the Galaxy Active 2 Watch? I primarily use the watch for notification management and this is what I've found so far: If there are any suggestions I'd...

So correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Samsung do a software update to the S10 several months ago that greatly improved the fingerprint scanner? From what I read about it, the scanner is not as fast as the one on the Galaxy S9 but for the most part it improved things quite a bit. I don't have...

Thank you for the answer, it’s helpful. What do you use for texting? A year and a half ago I was using and loved Textra but I did not have a smart watch at that time. The main reason I’m asking is for notification syncing. I read a text on my watch and I don’t have an icon on my phone saying I...

Hi, I’ve used both Apple and Android over the years and currently have an iPhone XS and an Apple Watch Series 4. I’m tempted by the upcoming Galaxy S20 and the Galaxy Active 2. I mostly use the Apple Watch for notifications and Apple Pay and don’t use the health features or any of the more...

I think with this particular update that Samsung is really making some major advances with the S20. To the point that it’s not an “S” year to borrow from the iPhone for the sake of comparison. I’m very tempted to get the S20 and the only thing I can think of that might stop me is how well the...

Hi, I’m thinking of getting the S20 when it comes out but not the Plus or the Ultra version since I personally prefer the smaller phones. I was just wondering if anyone knows if the regular S20 will have 25 watt or 45 watt fast charging? Debating on dropping an extra $50 on the Samsung 45 watt...

Hi, I bounce back and forth b/w Android and iOS and am thinking of trying the Galaxy S20. With that being said is there a recomended non iMessage texting application that could be used on the iPad. In the past I‘ve used Verizon Messages on the iPad but was hoping there was something out there...

I was just wondering how the S10’s in screen fingerprint scanner is working after the latest software updates and now that the phone has been out for about 6 months. From reading reviews as well as threads on here you have to train yourself to use the correct spot on the S10 with your finger...
