Curious to know what other people mainly use their phone for?

I mainly use it for,

1. Calls, texting and photos. I rarely and I mean rarely use it for listening to music.
2. Watching videos (maybe 2 or 3 Youtube videos a week).
3. I use Google maps maybe 3 times a month.
4. I check social media (Facebook) once or twice daily.
5. I use internet mainly to google something, maybe 2 or 3 times daily.

I never ever use it for games or movies. This is probably why I don't have problems with battery drain.

Massive media consumption, I use mine for YouTube daily, Spotify, massive music fan. Social networking, banking, calendar, taking notes and sketching. I use this for almost everything. So much so that my laptop and tablet are almost obsolete. I only use my laptop for writing. Love this big screen phone and the power to multi task.

1. Reading the Bible and various PDFs and eBooks.
2. Listening to audiobooks.
3. Reading my email.
4. Watching and downloading YouTube videos.(daily 🙂)
5. Phone calls.
6. WhatsApp and SMS writing and reading.
7. Music.
8. Using my browser, Samsung Internet, to read articles and stories.
9. Play games like chess, sudoku, checkers, word games and various brain training games.
10. While exercising I use certain apps if doing isometric exercises.
11. Online transactions.
12. Very rarely I'll take photos with it.
13. Checking out Android Central and GSMARENA at least thrice daily 😀.

Looking over the list I realized I do almost all of them daily except of course taking photos and isometrics.

I use it for pretty much everything, but if I had to make a top 10, they would be:

1. Work and personal email
2. WhatsApp chats and calls with everyone
3. Google Maps thru Android Auto
4. YouTube or Audible thru Android Auto
5. Staying in touch with what's happening in the world (with a lopsided-imbalance towards technology.)
6. Banking
7. Taking pics and selfies with the kids
8. Tracking live sports and watching one or two live events per week.
9. Scheduling and keeping track of my life via the calendar
10. Any and all research via browser

I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I squeeze every ounce of use out of my devices during a day. I will use anything that can keep me heading in the right direction in a more efficient and effective way. This is why I always come back to the Note. It offers more than any other device.
