I wouldn't say the frequency of MST use is a good metric to apply. I only use a non-NFC terminal once or twice a month. Regardless, having MST gives me the comfort to leave my wallet (or a specific credit card) at home, and I continue to buy Galaxy phones to keep that convenience/peace of...

Agreed! MST (and MicroSD support) is the only reason I've stayed with Samsung this long. I would've jumped ship to a Pixel years ago without these features.

Agreed, but still bummed. This was one of the small items, like MST, that really tipped the scales toward Samsung for me instead of a Pixel.

Just noticed this... last couple of years, all the Galaxies have included an IR emitter. When used in conjunction w/ S-Pay, it blasted barcodes (like grocery store club cards), which made it MUCH more reliable than relying only on the barcode on screen. I only noticed it missing on my S10+...

Anyone else checked this out? I don't touch crypto currency, but I was curious and went into this section (Settings, Biometric & Security) and it locked up my phone like a brick. I waited 5 mins (the clock wasn't even updating), then had to hard reboot w/ power+vol up. Just curious if my...

Unless they've changed their policy since last fall, you will lose the ability to WiFi call if you use an unlocked phone on AT&T.

+1 on missing this mode. AKA Photosphere.

Just go into the Samsung Galaxy Apps app and download the Surround Shot app. I'm not sure why they didn't flag it so it could be downloaded from within the camera app itself, but once you install it it shows up from inside the camera app.

Just upgraded to NRD90M.G935VVRU4BQA4. Don't see any updated release notes yet, and it has the same Feb 1 2017 Android security patch level as previous. FWIW.

I went back to the user manual, and it looks like they changed the wording from passpoint to hotspot 2.0. That change is what threw me off...

Again, I took the VZ update today, so I'm not sure if this was here previously, or if it came with the update.

Hotspot 2.0? I'm not talking about using phone as mobile hotspot.

Was the above feature always there on VZ S7E? I downloaded today's update, and noticed this in the menu, but don't remember seeing it before.

Never mind. My phone spontaneously rebooted, and now the apps on my card appear to be back.

It appears to have wiped all the apps that I had moved to my SD card. Not cool.
