Nope. 256GB is more than enough. I'd much rather have adequate internal storage than having to deal with an SD card.

the S10 will only charge at 15W speeds. You can use the charger but get no benefit.

Again, not true. All of the documentation on USB emarking states that emarked cables are required for any cable that is rated for higher than 3A, or any cable rated for USB 3.1 or 3.2 speeds. I looked up several technical documents to confirm...

That's that's not quite true. any USB 3.1 cable capable of 5gbit speeds and higher must be e-marked, according to the USB-PD spec. the emark is how it communicates the speed, if a cable isn't emarked it can be at most USB 2.0.

Ok, in bullet form, to keep it simple. -Samsung uses the USB PD spec, however they implemented the programmable power supply (PPS) mode for the phones and chargers. -PPS is part of the spec, but has been rarely used until now, meaning most chargers you can find on Amazon/wherever do not...

I mean, the side button function as a camera shutter....

I would just be afraid of breaking it, even in a case.

just turn bluetooth off on the phone to test.

Active 2 is probably the closest to Apple watch that you're going to get. For me personally, when my Gear Sport died just out of warranty (both buttons stopped working within 2 weeks of each other) I switched to a fitbit versa. It doesn't integrate as well/nicely, but it does the fitness stuff...

gmail notification delays has been a thing for years. I'll have 5-6 weeks in a row where it works fine, and then a couple weeks where notifications don't work at all. this is across multiple phones/tablets, on any type of connection. I have several people I know that have had the same issue...

The battery in the spen on the note 10 has crazy staying power. And yes, it is a battery, not a capacitor like the Note 9. The ifixit teardown shows it as a proper battery. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Note10++5G+Teardown/125590 I had the pen out of the phone for over an...

look for an option called secure startup in biometrics and security.

I'ts not about turning the phone off. It's about turning the screen off. I literally hit the power button to turn the screen on/off dozens of times per day.

On twitter when you get 4 or more notifications they'll stack.. 3 or less and they'll appear as individual notifcations.

But full screen apps hide the on screen keys, so then your argument goes away because that part of the screen is usable.
