Google screwed up an update yet again and many Pixel users are experiencing issues. I'm not noticing any excessive battery drain on my S25 Ultra daily driver.

I don't care about the color matching. I'm more inclined to buy a less popular color of one that goes on sale for less. Ended up getting this blue one to drop my titanium jetblack S25U into.

I take the case off briefly to clean the accumulated cruft they gets trapped every few months. Also, to wipe a Bausch & Lomb sight saver lens cleaning tissue all over the display. I do this seated at a table with the device in front of me, parked on a microfiber cloth.

I've used Nova on OnePlus (8T), more recentl Pixel's and S23+/24+/25U with no issues.

Stuff happens. Glad that you have some form of coverage.

I'm using 173 of 512GB so plenty remaining.

Oh nooo :( You may want to check your homeowners or renters insurance policy. Some offer coverage for mobile phone damage. I pay my mobile bill with Amex Platinum which automatically covers my S25U. I use cases that protect all the way around the edge. UAG Ultra Essential Armor is what I...

I have rarely used the one on my S25U. If it disappears in S27U and beyond, I won't miss it.

[emoji817] yes in my experience (with Android and iPhones) in the past ~7 years. In the the case of the former, I've purchased Apple refurbished from their site and the latter, generally new Samsung Android phones directly from them because they offer the highest trade-in values and incentives...

I've been using US Mobile T-Mobile service for ~4 years and haven't had any issues. Customer service has been fine as well. Initially it was $19.98 monthly and when I upgraded to their newer GSM network, it converted to yearly prepaid ($15/month for 10 GB data, unlimited talk and text).

I've used Smart Switch three times and haven't had any issues. I also make monthly SD storage backups of my S25U with it too

No way. S25 Ultra 512 GB pre-ordered last year will more than suffice for at least 1-2 more "upgrade" iterations.

I'll be cruising along with S25U 512 GB for at least one more year.

The Unlimited plan from US Mobile (where you can choose ATT, T-Mobile or Verizon service) is currently "on sale" for 1st year @$25 / month and then goes up to $32.50/month if that's your requirement.

The point being made is that carriers can hose up trade-in's and have dodgy support like anywhere else. I used AT&T exclusively for as long as past employers paid for the phone and bill (nearly 20 years), then Verizon with one employer briefly (and was not impressed). Once I had to pay for the...
