My Galaxy S10 has that feature and i was excited about it but I've had it since March and haven't used it once. The battery life you mentioned earlier has me intrigued though.

Just a note, from people I have talked to who upgraded from the S10, hardly anyone said that the upgrade was worth it. They said the S10 had a similiar battery life, the Note 10 plus did charge much faster though. Unless you will really use the S Pen, you might want to rethink upgrading from a S10 to a note 10.

Do you use the S-Pen?

The more I use the pen, the more I love it. I used it today to jot down a bunch of notes as I like to handwrite stuff over using a phone keypad. It converts it over to text and automatically to a word document perfectly. The cropping features with it are excellent and opens up a whole new world with editing things. Not sure if S Pens did this in this past, but it does it well IMO

I got a bit bored with iOS and decided to jump over to Android on my primary phone, at least until the iPhone 8 drops... but even then, that device has a lot to live up to with the latest devices from Samsung.

Anyway, I've used Android phones for several years, but never as my primary phone, so I have some issues I'm trying to solve.

1. Messaging. Are there any messaging apps you guys recommend? I'vePruitt's famous last words were along the lines of us winning 8 this year and if we don't, the recruits should go elsewhere to play. tried both Android Messages and the stock Samsung app, but I miss swipe to delete the text thread. For secure messages, I like Signal but the recipient must also have Signal installed.

2. This is a probably a weird request, but I sometimes like to save web page articles. On iOS i'd use the reader view to trim down the article to just the basics, then go to print. From there I could save as a streamlined pdf straight to dropbox. Any thoughts on how I might be able to accomplish this on Android? I save articles to Instapaper. Using the "share" feature from the Instapaper app allows me to send it to Dropbox.

3. Any other must-have apps I might now know about? Smart AudioBook Player, Pocket Casts, Volume Manager, ExpressVPN, Keepass2Android, Mega, Power-amp, Solid Explorer, Instapaper, Feedly.

4. Samsung Pay vs Android Pay. What's the difference? Which is better and why? I didn't splurge for the expensive Samsung. Just can't bring myself to spend nearly 1K on a phone. Prefer the economical, reliable Moto lineup. Current phone is the MotoG6 so I use Android.

5. Is there a difference between the "Galaxy Apps" from Samsung and the apps from the Play Store? You'll find content you'll want in both. More to choose from at the Play Store, but you'll undoubtedly want to use both for apps.

Hope the above helps.

The little guy at the store was impressed I knew my gmail password. I didn't tell him it was because I spent half a day two weeks ago trying to get into my account.

And I'm sitting here with the new phone and the old phone transfering because it still wasn't done at the store. We literally left and went to get dinner (and brought him back food haha) and it still wasn't done. So he told me just bring my old one home, finish it, and drop it back at the store tomorrow. "Ma'am do you know you have 400 videos and 2,000 pictures?" Uh, yeah, did you not hear me say I have 6 grandkids? lol

I got a black phone. It's the only one they had. And I've always got a case on it anyway. It's just a generic black case for now, but I'll find something better soon. It doesn't feel as grippy as my old case, so I'll have to change.

He put liquid glass on the screen. I can't believe it doesn't show fingerprints! That's crazy!!

It always takes me about an hour to switch my phones.
