Hard to believe we have had 10 years of the S range. I think my first glimpse into the S range was helping a friend fix her husband's S2, then another friend had issues with the S3 (God that phone was frustrating at times) and I finally got the S4 which was a great introduction into the Samsung ecosystem.
I haven't read too much into the S10 family other than it will have 3 iterations, incorporate the new One UI and hopefully have a serious upgrade in hardware (mainly the camera to rival the Pixel 3). The Unpacked event has been announced for February 20th.

This has changed slightly since posting it in the Note 8 thread. We now need to download an app called YouTube Vanced (YV) which you can grab over at XDA. I did the following to get it working:
All working fine here and in black .
- Make sure 'unknown sources' is allowed in security options, allowing you to install 3rd party apps
- Download the version of YV you want and install
- Download MicroG Vanced and install
User tips
- In Developer Options - change the animation scales (3 instances) to 0.5x for a smoother feel
- Install Package Disabler Pro - this is a handy app that disables a lot of bloatware (and more if you wish)
- Install Greenify - which puts unused apps to sleep
