The article is talking about the note 20. If correct, looks like curved screens is coming back and then some with the note 20

Yeah may be they can do curved with Notes and keep the flats with S series so that we have both options.

If they go that route, makes more sense to give the note the flat screen. The S pen works better on a flat screen.

So, slightly off topic. Anyone here switch from the Galaxy watch to the active 2? Thinking of upgrading, but I'm curious if it's worth it or not. I did finally get myself back to the gym so the extra fitness stuff is appealing.

I'm staying with my Galaxy watch. I like the bigger though

I did that exact thing and I'm so glad I did. I like the bigger larger watches however the active to is like the perfect size

Same. Can't downsize after having the 46mm. Love it.

Seen the demos at my local T-Mobile store early today and they look really nice but can't justify the price of $1199 for the S20+. I held my Pixel 3axl right up to it and they are the same exact size physically. So if they ever have any promotions down the line or the price drops I can always trade my Note10+ in for it. But I'm going to wait an see what the Note 20 is going to offer.

I shouldn’t have gone to Best Buy, walked out with this

I love mine. I just got it a few weeks ago. I put a screen protector on it....I don't use screen protectors on my phones, but I'm scared I may hit up against something and scratch the watch.

Not just a waterfall... the button(s) on the side will go through the glass.

That sounds like a great idea Johnny!

Noooo !!! I like my flat screens and liked that the S20 is less curved

 

[donm527]

And touch controls built into the side of the Glass!! Like we need any more accidental touches!! lol.

That's what I was thinking. I was also thinking... How is a case going to work with that.

I like the smaller size for wearing to the gym, but other than that they're really similar. You're not going to notice any difference in the fitness functionality between the two. The hr sensor may work a little more consistently, but GPS functionality and activity tracking has been the same experience. I still much prefer the Apple watch for fitness purposes, so I'm holding out hope that Google drops a new fitness watch this year or next.

One thing to note, scratches that used to be absorbed by the rotating bezel on the galaxy watch are now hitting the screen on the active 2. If you do pick it up, I would get a case as well.

I have the 46mm S3 Frontier and the 44mm Active Watch 2. I prefer the larger overall size (display isn't bigger, just the case is) and design of the S3. I was looking at the Galaxy Watches, and I would've gotten one of those, but dumb Samsung didn't do the 46mm in black. LOL The rotating bezel of the S3 and Galaxy Watch is better than the touch bezel as well.

I can't say functionally what the differences between Galaxy Watch are and the Active 2 are, because the S3 Frontier is running slightly different software than the Active 2. I'm not sure which software the Galaxy Watch uses.

I'm with you on this one. I'm just about done with the curved edge. Give me back the flat screen.

Yep, the almost flat screen is one of the reasons I was considering coming back.

And you missed us....

I played around with one at Best Buy as well, but I forgot to check: can 5G be toggled on/off?
