    Samsung pay vs android pay

    I have three credit cards (with chips) setup on Samsung Pay. All work easily. I really like the notification feature that confirms the transaction. Very fast, and easy to use. Still getting used to not carrying my wallet when I go shopping, but I love Samsung Pay!

    S8 only $424 unlocked at samsung

    My June 20th order is still BACKORDERED! I can't believe that it is taking Samsung this long to process my order. Very upset! Samsung offers two day shipping, but with July 4th weekend approaching, that will certainly add additional delays...IF Samsung is able to locate an unlocked S8 to ship...

    T-Mobile Galaxy S8 Bixby Privacy / Security?

    I have not activated Bixby yet. It appears that Bixby wants to have complete access to all my information, "in order to Help me". I realize that Google probably already has all that information, but what is Samsung doing to keep my private information private. I presume that Samsung will sell...

    Master the hidden features of Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+

    In order to get the sharpest photos possible, you need to hold the S8 as still as possible. Rather than touch a shutter on the S8, I have activated the Voice Activation feature, and just say "shoot" when I want to take a photo. This allows me to keep a good grip on the phone, and I feel take...

    Photos taken with the S8 / S8 +

    I transferred the files to my iMac desktop and used Lightroom. I did a little cropping and turned down the saturation a bit. It's just easier for me to use a mouse, than my large clunky fingers on the phone.

    S8 only $424 unlocked at samsung

    I ordered my S8 on June 20th, and it has been "Back Ordered" ever since. I have contacted "customer service" several times attempting to get an expected ship date, but each time (3X), Customer Service says it should only be 1-3 days more. I'm really disappointed that a hugh company ($175...

    Are you gonna buy it?

    I ordered a 32gb XL in Black. There are many good points being raised as why Not to purchase the XL today, But the two main things that helped decide are: A. I believe in Google, and their corporate commitment to make the Pixel a success, and provide updates and improvements, in the...

    Free Google VR makes Pixel price easier to accept

    Google is offering free VR with the purchase of Pixel phones. That's a $79 bonus, that makes ordering the pricey Pixel easier to take IMHO

    Will The Pixel Work On My Carrier?

    The Pixel is listed on Project Fi, which accesses both Sprint and T Mobile, so is it safe to assume that an unlocked Pixel purchased from Google Play will work on T mobile silly by inserting a Nano sim card?
