Recently moved to the Oneplus 8 Pro from the S20 for 1 reason - Samsung's pictures of people can come out badly in anything but good light. My daughter's bright blue eyes always look black (this was the Exynos version, Snapdragon processing is different). Oneplus is definitely less feature...

I've currently got a Galaxy S10 (a Snapdragon 855 variant imported from Hong Kong), which is almost perfect but hating the fingerprint reader. An in display reader sounds cool but in reality it's just too unreliable. My last LG phone was the G6 (and had the G3, G4, G5 and V20 before that) but...

Really odd but mine has switched to the bottom, never seen this before but thought it was to move in line with One UI, with everything being lower down and that. It's really hard to get used to though.

I'm having the same issue in the UK, Samsung have told me they only sell a Hybrid SIM variant in the UK, be it from them directly or through a resller. But went to look at one in the shop and got the guy to pop out the SIM tray, was a single SIM version. Very confused!

Here's a good video for the S10 plus. im struggling to find anything on the standard S10 battery life. https://youtu.be/QgqinnFGqmQ

Exactly why I mentioned it, if someone can screenshot the sync option for a Gmail account that includes a push option, I'll be happy to be proven wrong (using the Huawei email app of course). I'm not trying to put this phone down by the way, I'm annoyed that I had to sell it due to a few...

Ok, well maybe it was just been the setup I had. I was talking about the stock mail app, not the Gmail app by the way. My Hotmail came through immediately but Gmail was delayed. In the sync settings I found (under Hotmail), there were settings like 'Every 30 minutes', Every 15 minutes'...

This phone is bad for videos on the back camera in every mode, not just 4K. Be it jelly effect, fuzziness, jumpiness. All of which can be seen in the video above. Weirdly the front camera is fine, apart from the excessive skin smoothing. I was thinking the same, how have none of the reviewers...

I didn't say no Gmail notifications, I said no "push" notifications for Gmail - only provides the option to sync periodically, for example every 15 minutes. I seriously thought all mail apps did push notifications these days. Anyway, sold the Mate 20 as a company who doesn't see the benefit of...

I never used DEX but had a quick go with the desktop mode as it came up as an option when screen sharing. Kind of cool and send better for viewing photos on the TV, didn't explore much at all though unfortunately.

Haven't even tried the Bluetooth volume syncing, will give it a go and see if I get the same issue too, thanks!

I've not used the standard S8, only the S8+. Didn't really see much of an improvement in battery with the S9+, if any and I expect the Note 9 isn't much better. The Mate does seem a definite improvement in the battery department but if you're coming from an S8, I expect the S9+ or Note will...

Assuming the Note 9 is similar to the S9+ (which I think it is), I wouldn't say the pictures are always better on the Mate, but the addition of a wide angle camera is such a bonus. Colours seem more accurate on the Mate, although that doesn't always translate to "pleasing on the eye". I...

If like me you've currently got an LG or Samsung (currently have an S9+) but are tempted by the Mate 20 Pro, there are a few things I think you'll miss, which I'm noticing after 2 days of getting the Mate 20. Always on Display - sure it's got one, but IMO not as good as Samsung. You can't...

I'm in the same boat, used to Samsung email on my S9+ but have just switched to a Mate 20 pro. The default looks good, but send a bit more basic than the Samsung app. one thing that is rubbish is that there seems to be no push notification for Gmail, only Hotmail.
