S10 5G

I needed to replace it because it came messed up

Chat with Samsung online. I got them to send me 2 replacements for my S10+ I used to have.

Thank you for this. I will try it

It really feels like Verizon doesn't have any accessories for this phone. Went to two Verizon stores today looking for a screen protector. No dice. Anyone having similar issues?

That sounds about right. It is a niche device so they aren't going to try and stock it like they do for more popular phones like the regular Galaxies / iPhones.

I thought the S10 5G is a flagship phone but nobody is treating it like one. Samsung has 1 case on their website for it...!!!

Very weird.

Maybe when it's released to other carriers there will be more support(?)

It is a niche phone. Samsung doesn't expect it to sell like their normal galaxy phones at all.

It's like buying an 8K TV right now, it's just not its time yet.

Just redeemed my VIP kit with the samsung shop app. We get the galaxy buds and a qi battery pack.

That's a nice package Verizon put together on 5g phone .

Thought about getting the S10 5G as Switzerland will habe 99% of the population covered with 5G by the end of the year - but frankly, I’ll wait for the Note 10 at this point. Hoping it’ll get an improved camera and fingerprint reader

Have there been any recent OS updates? Just wondering if the FM chip has been activated yet? Still curious why Verizon only disabled it on the 5G and not the standard S10 or S10+. Seems pointless. Even if I was on 5G I would still listen to terrestrial radio on the FM chip not streamed. Had the phone and returned it over this. If it returns I will be moving back to the 5G. Liked everything else about it.

Do you guys still have FM radio on the US?

 

[cliberti]

Really? For us 40 somethings we still listen to it and there is some good stuff at least in the SF Bay. 2 college stations that play some avant garde stuff you are hard pressed to find elsewhere. Us old guys like it. Also, in a disaster more likely to pull in a radio station than stream considering if a tower is destroyed you will have no signal and with the increased load of people calling/checking on line the bandwidth will be gone on cellular

No I didn't mean that derogatory in any way - it was a serious question as they turned off FM radio here, there's only DAB+

So I was a bit surprised that an FM radio receiver would make a difference in the purchase decision.

I'm in my early 40s and also one of those old guys lol

 

[SultanJazz]

Same here. Lol.

In the US the system is similar to DAB in that it displays song info, artist, station, etc if you have an HD Tuner. Basically it uses the old analog system as a base and if you have an HD tuner it switches to compressed digital transmission with subchannels. The FM Chip in phones only pull in the analog portion of it though.

Is anyone picking up the S10 5G on sprint today??
I see that it says I have to have a premium unlimited plan to be eligible to get the phone. This is disappointing if this is the case considering I have a grandfathered plan.

We don't have satellite radio in Europe, so they went with terrestrial digital radio instead. There are quite a few European states that have already turned off FM altogether.

However, I just read today that at least one German state has decided to scrap digital radio altogether as 5G will make it obsolete

 

[Oscar Maradiaga]

Just ordered the s10 5g for spring on unlimited premium I get 200.00 uber a month Amazon prime and hulu that's a win. The note 10 will be great but I'm over the note line for now.

 

[cliberti]

This isn't satellite. HD is 100% terrestrial, and it is not obsolete. In an emergency I am willing to bet there will be more radio stations operating than data towers. One data tower goes offline and with everyone checking on family the speed will not be there. One tower for radio goes down you lose the stations on that tower. In the SF bay there are at least 3 tower locations, one has 5-6 towers, so the chance of losing all of them is pretty small.
