Hopefully will continue with my first Samsung S# phone

Hopefully will continue with my first Samsung S# phone
Just saying I've not had issues with stock Android for years and I hope the S10 will be no different.
Not had any emails but my claim tracker states that its approved and expect a dispatch within 30 days.

Same here.
Agreed, it blows the iPhone away from a multitasking point, customisations and that display!
In that case, what makes you hold onto the iPhone? I’m in the same boat, I like the polish in iOS and iMessage. But I’m bored of iPhone.
I picked up the S10 Plus and I’ll just use for my limited company.

Applied for the buds on Friday, got an email stating "claim recieved", no approval yet.
Also just signed up for the 4 month free trial of Youtube Premium for Galaxy S10 owners. https://youtube.googleblog.com/2019/03/youtube-premium-teams-up-with-samsung.html?m=1

I agree. Apple's icon grid has become an iconic feature / look of the phone. Sheer simplicity and apple are notorious for not really known for changing anything dramatically. Time will tell but I think those expecting a radical redesign will be disappointed. I would like to see one as an iPad user but I'm not holding my breath.

Sent my s8+ for the trade in on Monday. Just got the email to tell me it's been approved. That's pretty good service.
I got one at work this week and been playing around with it. It's pretty great but not the wow factor I was expecting going from online reviews/previews.
I have an S8+ as my personal phone and it feels more hefty, solid weight whereas the S10e feels more hollow/light. The perception of quality is greater on the older phones for sure (had the S9/S9+ and S8 too).
The screen is superb though, the cameras too. My gripe with the cam is you cannot choose the wide angle lens if you're using 60fps in any compatible compatible video resolution. This is a major negative for me because I use 60fps all the time because it's so eye pleasing to watch footage back at and share.
Sony's Xperia 1 does not have this limitation IIRC and can record at 21:9 with HDR.
hough.Hough. Fastest scanner I have ever used on any phone ever. The S10e's side fingerprint scanner is so so fast however. Fastest scanner I have ever used. You can just rest your finger or thumb on it for a split second and let go and the screen will instantly unlock. That's dope.
You can do the same split second tap on the S8 and S9 series too, but the screen doesn't wake up as quick as the S10e.
The 5.9" screen is also harder to get used to when typing because the keyboard is quite a bit smaller than on the larger screens I'm typically used to.
Overall quite nice, looks great! Look at this shimmer on the back with the pearl white colour:

Which phone stores actually let you hold the phone? I went into EE a few days ago and they have all their phones locked to units that don't even let you pick them up, there's no way I'm buying a phone without getting a sense of how it feels in the hand.

Anyone using Bixby Routines? I think I have actually disabled all the bixby packages but was looking into simple things like putting my phone on silent when connected to works wifi. Just done this in Tasker but I dunno, I get the feeling it's going to be a battery drain.
When I traded my S7E in for Note 8 it showed same price for 32/64
You get an email I guess?
I Use two phones for work so I always go for the latest iphone and the best android I like. I Just like new tech I dont keep my devices for 2 years.

Yup.
I got a 50% off accessories code drop in the Samsung members app. But late for me as I just bought the new duo charger on Monday for 90 quid, but it brings the price down to 45 quid (I tried the code on the duo and it worked).
