    Is it possible to buy an unlocked S10 5g (US) anywhere?

    That's not Amazon, that's a 3rd party reseller. It looks super sketchy and they marked it up $700 to $2k. I bet someone buys it, though.

    5G means the end for all non-5G phones but will take forever to implement

    I figured the main use would be infill of areas that need towers and congestion relief for highly congested areas, like nightlife strips, airports and downtowns.

    Is it safe to pry out the Bixby button?

    I disabled it back to factory and now the button launches the Bixby set-up. Maybe I need to go through the whole setup to turn it off?

    Is it safe to pry out the Bixby button?

    I'm constantly hitting the Bixby button by accident on my S8+ and I'm seriously considering getting a pocket knife and prying it off. Convince me why this is a bad idea.

    What should the background/system CPU usage be in an S8+

    I think one of my apps updated and started using more battery, but I just can't figure out which one, and I think it's one of the pre-installed apps that I cannot force to go to sleep.

    Battery life

    When it was new it was pretty great. I could get two days out of it between charges. Over time it has dropped some but after 3 months it's still better than the S7. I am now charging it daily after about 100 days.

    Wireless Charge with magnetic plate?

    Just buy a nice, slim case and for the phone and put the metal plate on the case. Then just pop your phone into that case when you go out driving around. Get the simplest, lightest case you can find.

    What should the background/system CPU usage be in an S8+

    Hi, I noticed a sudden increase in battery drain with no new apps installed in my s8. So, I methodically put everything to sleep and disabled everything that's not a system app and did a force stop on Facebook, which is a system app on this device. The CPU-Z app shows 14-19% usage in "Mid"...

    What S6 cases is everyone using?

    Mophie power case during the day and leather wallet case when out in the evening. You leave the house with a full charge after work and one less thing in your pockets.
