    You can generalize in that way with capacitive FPS. The fact that you have to with the in screen FPS is indicative of a problem.

    At least one glass screen protector works with the FPS (supposedly). https://www.androidcentral.com/whitestone-dome-galaxy-s10-screen-protector

    It's not bashing to be honest about the performance of the feature. It also wouldn't be bashing to say the camera is not a substantial improvement over the S9, and that the Pixel 3 still takes better pictures, especially in low light. That's not bashing the camera, it's being honest about the...

    Being worse than the S9. Yeah. Including the AC review. But if you haven't seen any of the negative stuff then you're not paying attention.

    Whoosh goes my point over your head. :) Other companies are putting unproven tech in devices that are not their flagship device, and are in some cases (like the Nokia 9) specifically saying it's a limited release device. Even Apple, which someone brought up already, only put FaceID in their...

    You're bringing up devices that are purposely not mainstream to support your argument. The Nokia 9 is a limited release device. Specifically because they need to perfect the new tech and make it better for the mainstream consumer. Samsung did not do that. They put new tech, which is already...

    Then something is wrong with your settings or your device. Assuming other variables like font size, etc have been accounted for.

    iPhone SE gets up to ~600 nits, Galaxy S9 can get to ~1100 nits with auto brightness turned on. The SE is in no way able to get brighter than the S9 with auto brightness turned on.

    What's your current and 'ideal' monitor setup?

    My current setup is a 34" Acer Predator X34. I'm anxiously awaiting the availability of G-Sync + HDR.

    News Feed

    Where are these popping up? Inside of an app, in the Google feed, as a notification? If it's notifications, you should be able to at least disable those. If it's the Google feed you should be able to turn off the cards.
