It has been reported, and Samsung has said that they have been slowly backing off the super saturated colors in One UI. The last 3 generations of S phones have had small reductions in how vivid the colors were. Comparing to the S22 would be a bigger drop off than comparing to the S23. I don't...

I have given up on my Z Fold 3. I just sent it back in to get a screen replacement for small cracks in the crease. Should be a warranty repair. Back with my Note 20... and forgot how much I loved it. I realized how many compromises I made to enjoy the novelty of the z Fold. Gonna hold my Z...

I don't know, I am still trying to figure them out.... I think I am getting a lot of deep base distortion out of one of them. But only if they are both in. It's most noticeable on phone calls, a crackling that almost sounds like the woofer (or the micro equivalent) might be blown out. But it...

Also watch the ages... My daughters phone kept saying intelligible... until I realized it was because Samsung knew she was under 18... I ...ummm... "adjusted" what samsung knew, and it went right through.

No... it's not an iphone. It has no home button, and the onscreen buttons can be changed and removed, and even replaced with gestures.

While ATT has stopped advertising 5Ge (by court settlement) but was not required to stop using it. There is enough confusion in the market already around 5G 5Ge = LTE advanced (4G service that has enhanced backhaul, and multiple connections to fake additional bandwidth) 5G = Standard 5G 5G+ =...

The Note 20's don't chrage at 45watts. You can certainly use those chargers, but they will only draw at 25watts. It has been reported that the difference between 25w and 45 w was not enough to matter. (similar to the 100x zoom on the s20 camera that was dropped to 50x on the Note 20... makes...

re: AT&T Pre-order Thread. Mine says (ups, not att) that it is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. It is next day air... so they should, if they are awaiting ups pick up, make it Tuesday. Now, its the 9pm tuesday air...not the first thing in the am version.

And $495 in charges... assuming you go with the Note 20 vanilla

re: AT&T Pre-order Thread. That makes some minor sense... but the credit card showed them as approved. Whatever... now me email says they will ship 8/27.. though I am hoping that is just a place holder. I hope I didn't drop into the bottom of the pile simply because I gave them a lot of...

It's logical, but I think you are assigning more effort to it than the system actually uses. When your device connects to a network, it locks on to whatever signal it gets. When it hands off that connection to the next tower (or frequency band) it does the same thing. That "conversation" with...

For me... I hate to put anything on that spectacular screen. Gorilla Glass will take care of the everyday, and a case will help with drops. I just don't see the sense in buying a $1300 screen, and then sticking an, oftentimes awful piece of bubbly, terrible anything on top of it.

re: AT&T Pre-order Thread. So... AT&T!!! Wow. One of mine (I ordered 3) is shipped, like everyone else. The other 2 I got a payment error. I went into my account (slightly panicked) and followed the prompts to update my payment info (for tax only). I used the same card for all 3. Each...

you really don't need to manage that feature. Turning it off would be a microscopic battery savings. Not worth the effort.

Yes, but no. You do lose all of the future credits, but you also lose all of the future payments. So if you upgrade in 15 months (not 12 like it used to be) then you are free and clear of the phone once you return it. You can then do whatever you want...note 21, iPhone 13 or...
