**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S10 Family Thread ****

[LiE]

Pixel 2 XL is a good phone, I really did like mine but you will notice a significant downgrade in screen quality I'm sorry to say. My 2XL was pretty good, the blue shift was minimal but the colours were poor. Especially as you're coming from the S10e (albeit a short period of usage) the difference in display will be night and day. The displays are also virtually the same size, just 0.2 inch in it.

Also the 4gb RAM is just paltry in the 2XL - my apps were forever self closing when left idle for anything over 30mins or so. I don't want to sound like I'm hating on the Pixel as I said I really liked mine but it's just 'so 2017'

I haven't noticed that much lag with the S10e - lag was one of the reasons I left Samsung and went with the OG Pixel XL but this newer OS seems fine. You can also go into Developer Options and change the animation scale from x1 to x0.5 which makes a noticeable difference.

Got my Pixel 2 XL, really happy. It is in brand new condition which is great for an eBay purchase at 275. S10e is on it's way back to Samsung for a refund.

Lets face it, it was always pants.
On the upside though, the latest update has drastically improved my battery life. Lasts all day now, before it was on its arse by 3pm.

Mine was working Ok, now it misreads that often I have to use a swipe to open

Anyone know if the dual sim is active or standby

As far as i know, it's dual standby

 

[mattyg]

As far as i know, it's dual standby

So does that mean Im on a call with sim1 and someone tries to call Sim2 It wont go through until sim1 call ended?

 

[jrodga2k5]

So as a Buds update, used them for a few days now and finding them very comfortable. I even went a run with them in today and they at no point felt like they were going to fall out of my ears. So I'm definitely holding onto them now.

Does anyone here use Adguard as a system ad blocker?

By default yes but there's a setting to have both Sims always on so if a SIM receives a call while the other one is in use/out of signal etc it will divert to the other SIM.

So, I’ve noticed the finger print reader under the display in direct sunlight today. It looks horrible.

Fingerprint reader has gone pants since the last update

Wasn't sure if I'm imagining it, but recently I noticed that the fingerprint reader is extremely slow. There is sometimes over 1 second delay, to the point I don't know if I pressed it or not. If this phone didn't have such a good looking screen it would have been a deal breaker.

I wish the S10+ had same finger reader as the S10e.

Yeah I saw this issue on another forum. If I saw it I would have OCD about it afterward..

You can see it on all models. Needs to be against a white background - it’s there. Needs to be direct sunlight not a flash light. I don’t even use the fringes print reader.

Anyone got a good screen protector for the s10e? Got a glass one which goes right to the edges but it makes it a total pain to access the edge functions or pull down the top notifications so back to no protection..

Have you enabled finger print swipe for notifications and/or quick open notification panel? These two would at least solve that issue. Edge is still a bit of a pain.

I don't see why they had to remove it from the back in the first place. I have the S10e and the power button should have been placed a little lower.

Not sure
But have been using the phone for a week without issue and using the handy sidebars etc but the screen protector shouldn't reduce the functionality of the phone imo

Are all S10's dual SIM?

Use it on my Pixel. It's the only ad-blocker i'll use!

S10s and S10+s are (can't comment on the E). It's basically the SD Card Tray. So you can have the SD card or dual SIM. I was tempted to put my Work SIM in it but until Samsung actually allow profiles on the phone I decided against it. If I can turn off "work" then I can't say I want it bothering me on my days off.

I just turn the 'work' SIM off on my S10e on days off.
