been enjoying the phone so much i havnt been making any posts about it haha. Yea im very happy. i think this is going to be a two year phone at least before i upgrade again. the only things that would make me upgrade next would be the removal or hiding of self camera. And some vast processor improvements. At least 25%. Without those two things i wont be upgrading again. And i do not expect to see this happen next year or maybe even the year after.

Theres very little in the way for bezel reduction, there needs to be some space at top and bottom for cases to wrap around. and my current case almost meets the edges of the screen itself. So its very very close to the max.

After the update, the fingerprint reader is absolutely fine. Just as good as the rear reader IME. And when holding the phone with two hands, its more natural on the front then the back. Even when holding the phone one handed as normal, the front sensor feels natural as well.

Theres many more little improvements that i like but overall very happy. :)

I really like the idea of Dex, but it frustrates me that the office apps are the gimped version. If we could have access to the full excel, outlook and word products that would be a game changer.

 

 

That's partly why I like the app based approach of the 10+ instead.  It's more of a way to use the stuff on my phone quickly and easily without leaving the rest of my workflow, rather than a desktop replacement.

Fixed android auto with a new cable. The note 8 worked fine with that cable but not the 10+
The quick measure app is freaky when it draws measurements around what you are looking at.

Funny how quick you get used to the power button on the other side. Who here is using their middle finger for this ? Haha. Id still prefer it on the right side i think though.

There is just something about going from 10 to 11 that makes me wish they would change the number scheme to something else.

 

Otherwise eventually its gonna be the Galaxy S69420 Blaze-it Bruh edition

 

 

 

How about the Galaxy SXI..... oh wait, didn't someone else do that? No, we're cool, lets do it.

Yep, the Sennheiser Premium make that a worthwhile deal by itself. Why wasn't this the pre-order deal? God that's annoying.

Deals look better than Pre order everywhere

 

 

 

PBTech - Charger, power bank, Speaker + Headphones + half price plan on 2D

 

Noel Leeming - Charger, Speaker + headphones +$200 off on Vodafone + $20 off unlimited plan

 

Vodafone - $200 off

 

2degrees - Half price plan + voice speaker

 

Spark - Half price plan + rugby sub 

 

JBHIFI - Bonus coffee machine + half price plan on 2D

Doesn't look like you can buy the 512GB though anymore? so that is a bonus if you preordered.
