    With the end of the Note, are you done upgrading? Are you done with Samsung?

    Went with a N20U and 1tb micro sd. Upgraded from N10+ after two years. Happy with upgrade and the 865+ does not run got like the 888.

    Is simple LED notification not available with this phone?

    What carrier or version? That option is not on the Verizon version.

    You're kidding? Cloud sucks when traveling, or no access. Local storage is very logical and very practical. Good luck with your cloud.

    It will be interesting, since in spite of hyperbole, the S21 series did not sell well and they used sell in numbers to retailers, rather than actual consumer purchase numbers. The last time they did that was the S6 series, which also did not have a micro sd slot. The more they act like Apple...

    Note 20 Ultra - I have complaints!

    Disagree 100%. Just very recently traded my Note 10+ for the Note 20 Ultra on Verizon. Was hoping the newer phones would have a micro sd slot, but nope. Moved my 1TB card to the N20U and all is peachy. Better in every way. Well, wish it had a 2X optical zoom, but is what it is. BTW, your...

    Samsung Z Fold 3 Pre-orders.

    Not enough storage for me and will get other devices until storage is more and better price. Samsung BTW did not do well with the S6 and S21 series. Both lost the micro sd and Samsung touted sell-in to retail numbers rather than actual sell-through to customers. Interesting that analysts did...

    Samsung Z Fold 3 Pre-orders.

    Also has a micro sd slot and easier to handle- not to mention less overall size.

    Samsung Z Fold 3 Pre-orders.

    Not me. I waited to see if had a micro sd slot and does not. Traded my Note 10+ and got the Note 20 Ultra and put my 1TB micro sd in it. IMO, a more practical device than the Fold 3. How Samsung can charge that much and tout as a multimedia and power user device, but no external storage is...

    WOW! Samsung lowering S21 shipments from 35m to 26m! Samsung customers have spoke. The S21 is a flop

    That means diddly, when they remove features that afford differentiation. They are losing share to Apple and not helping themselves. They dropped their retail sales outlook by millions from an already flu conservative outlook. My marketing head can't wrap around how (as example) removing the...

    S21 Ultra overheating issues?

    The 888 has some throttling issues when playing games and does not seem to manage heat as well as the 865+. It should not have heating issues with not taxing tasks.

    The End...

    They might reassess that and some features they removed from the S21 series. Sales are so bad they can't even use sell in retail numbers to prop it up. That, or Apple agents have infiltrated Samsung for some sabotage. I guess I'm joking on that last one.....

    Anyone that does not think that Samsung did not account for the flu in their original numbers must think Samsung is stupid. Apple sales are up and Samsung sales are down. Just go to a Best Buy and ask. Pre-orders are way below expectations.

    WOW! Samsung lowering S21 shipments from 35m to 26m! Samsung customers have spoke. The S21 is a flop

    Samsung is playing numbers semantics like with the S6. They are comparing sell in to retail numbers, which are not real numbers for consumer sell through. Sell through is actual demand. Samsung likes touting sell in numbers to prop numbers up, if a device is not selling well. They use sell...

    Not a flop, but the more they behave like Apple with features, the more market share they lose.

    I'm part of that lower statistic. Seems Samsung has not learned since the S6 debacle. No SD, no sale. Apparently per Samsung marketing, they are done with sd cards. My guess is they might change direct that.
