Yeah the notifications thing is just stupid. They have had soooo much time to fix it yet they just seem to have abandoned making them better. "All" they need to do is copy android and voilà but no.... Do have to wonder if it's a limitation of the archaic iOS that's causing them to be as crap as they are.I tried a iPhone 12 pro for a week between getting rid of my Oneplus 7 pro and buying the S21 Ultra when it was released and it was the notifications that really pushed me over the edge, the setup of them just made no sense coming from Android.
That and the fact some apps like Whatsapp looked like some weird DOS command line version in comparison.
It's a shame as the hardware, battery life and size of them is nice but I've been fully in the cult of Android for at least a decade and can't deal with change in my old age

What better on android notifications
Absolutely everything.

I'm interested in this.
What would you say is better.
The notification system on android has never made sense to me.
When i receive a notification i expect the last one i received to be at the top ie in order you receive them, Android can not do this one simple thing.
I think all Android phones are way behind Apple in performance not just Exynos, but there is a trade off with features, each to their own
Qualcomm chips on TSMC will make for an interesting comparison to Apple SoCs, hopefully next year.

Hmm fair comment the "sort chronolically" thing had never crossed my mind til you mentioned it.
That aside... ! Android does notifications better. Grouping, being able to reply within the notification rather than having to open the app, general responding to notifications. iOS's method just feels like it's a half baked addon

I don`t know how long its been since you last used ios( I am very new to ios). You can do both things you mentioned in ios.

I got the Tauri screen protector today, came in pack of two and 2 lens protectors too. Have to say the whole package is pretty impressive. The screen protector has a stencil that has 3 holes at the bottom where a little wedge slots into the USB port then the holes fit into it so you perfectly align the screen protector when applying it - Rather genius.
The lens protectors I may not use as don't really want extra glass in front of the lenses adding a layer that could reduce image quality or add light glare but they appear to be good and are tempered glass too.

Good. This will force Samsung into updating all models so throttling isn't done.

Very nice, the shade matches my watch!

After a couple of days with the Neo Hybrid case, It's not perfect. The slippery plastic sides I can live with but it has a weird lip at the back of the case towards the bottom, where the textured grip starts. During one handed use it often scrapes against my finger, especially small finger. It's really annoying.
I was just about to order the Liquid Air, but I can see it also has this same lip where the textured grip starts! Well, that's pretty annoying.

If (big if) I was going to use a case then it would be a Spigen Thin Fit, they look similar to cases I used to have back in the day and add minimal bulk or have weird lips etc. I just cannot bring myself to have a case though on phones that feel/look cool like modern flagships.
I might get one anyway though for using when I'm out doing active stuff like mountain biking as would benefit in those situations.

The thing that puts me off the Thin Fit is the lack of textured grip. I'll keep looking around, shame as I doubt there is anything as such good value for money as a Spigen.

It might be worth just grabbing a few cheap cases on Amazon that look like they might have the grip you are after and seeing what they are like in that case? The plus side is if they don't suit then returning is free and super easy with Amazon so apart from a bit of time faffing around trying various cases, you won't be losing out on anything else!

I think that's probably the best course of action. I'll scope 'em out!

I've got the d-brand grip on pre-order. I saw it on one of the S22 Ultra reviews, and liked the look of it.
It's released early April.
