Interesting comparison of the two cameras. https://youtu.be/993mzj7aeiw

I have an S9 and I think the screen on that looks better than the one on the S10e. I don't like that they removed the iris scanner and the pressure-sensitive home button. I also like being able to feel the location of the fingerprint reader. The S10 line is nice but there isn't much that...

Wow, very strange. Good info, thanks!

Hello again. As promised I'll report how this problem was resolved in case anyone experiences something similar with their S9. Samsung support asked me to take it to a local affiliate repair shop for assessment. They just plug the phone into their diagnostic device and report back pass/fail on...

Yes, it's quite reassuring! I thought they'd wait until they release the big UI update.

I'm following up on this with Samsung support. I'll let you know how it resolves.

Thanks for your replies!

That makes perfect sense! Thanks! But do other manufacturers scale or calibrate their battery indicators to compensate for this effect? I was receiving estimates of over an hour of remaining charge right before shutdown. Is this typical behavior that I just haven't noticed until now?

Has anyone else observed a sudden drop-off in the battery indicator as you near 20% charge or so? I usually don't let my charge get that low, but twice now I've watched as it depletes rapidly to zero. I just watched the numbers tick down before my eyes over maybe 10 minutes until it powered...

Samsung Pay and iris scanner will probably keep my on Samsung phones for a while. Oneplus phones lack features.

I mostly use two non-OEM Quickcharge (2.0 & 3.0) chargers that work better than the OEM charger, which often charges slowly. I haven't tried to use an old non-Quickcharge charger with it.

I didn't do any rigorous comparisons of power usage. I think it has Google Assistant. I've been very happy with the update. Faster app switching, smoother animations, Chrome seems a little faster. I did a factory reset after installation but I don't think it helped. There might have been some...

I'm waiting for the U12. It will have new features you'll wish you had. It will have dual cameras on the back at least (I wouldn't be surprised to see dual front cameras, too) and a new SOC, with all that means in terms of updated radios and capabilities. It will also likely have better support...

Just passing this along. I am not a OnePlus user. https://tech.slashdot.org/story/18/01/27/0013220/oneplus-is-again-sending-user-data-to-a-chinese-company-without-user-consent
