My question are... How are the new Galaxy phones compare to the S7? have they added IM to their texting? do they have video chat? do their phones still slow down after a few months? can you still download 3rd party apps and install APKs? do they still come full of bloatware? Do you guys still mess with custom ROMs?

I've seen a lot more people say they haven't felt pressed to upgrade since the S8 on. I can't speak too much to it because while my Note8 didn't slow down; I only had it for a year before upgrading (not because of any faults of the Note8.) I feel like they're improved the long-term performance a lot over the last 2 or so years.

Yeah, you can still download and sideload apps.
Yeah, there's still a bit of bloatware. The amount of it depends on the carrier, obviously.

Most modern Samsung android phones have locked bootloaders (at least the US variants), so it's largely quiet for custom ROMs on the flagship Galaxy line.

You mean like an iMessage equivalent? No, that's gonna be on the carriers.

Video chat, probably an app for that.

It's only been a month.

Yes you can install APKs. You always could. This probably will never go away.

Bloatware is again carrier dependent. I have the unlocked version but I just hide them.

I used to be heavy in ROMs in the early mid 2010s. I haven't used them much in the last couple years so can't speak on this.


If you love imessage don't switch.

attachments can't open internally in an email app? This is one thing i do miss with iOS now. I emailed a gif to myself and I can't view it without an external app opening. any solutions?

What settings are you using? Default and just applying a filter?

The screen protector that came with the 10+ already has some nasty scratches. Noticeable at that. Need to find a better one.

Contact Samsung and say you're having problems with the protector. They should send out some free ones.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

anyone else holding out for the s10 5g?

I'd probably skip 5G for now, at least until the US gets a infrastructure for it. I think it'll be at least 2-3 years before it becomes mainstream.

I remember I go the first 4G LTE phone, it was a **** show.

thunderbolt was trash too man
