the S series was always the "girls" phone to me...LOL. It was Note or bust since the 3 for me. This is my first S series phone
I agree with this. The S was always some Ol' highschooler cheerleader shit. The Note series is for a real man.

Lol. Those are no different than current drives. They'll still stick out and drain your battery.
Damn. I never knew those drives drain your battery? I don't get why people complain about no memory expansion. Just get the 512GB and you should have more than enough.

It probably won't drain it by a huge amount but it still has to supply power to the drive.

I just checked and the 1TB model is sold out on Samsung's website. Lol.

I think the overwhelming majority of people would probably be good with just internal storage, but for me I need all the storage I can get and I don't want to pay an extra $400 for 1TB when I can get a card on Amazon for $170, plus I already have a card so the cost would be zero.

April Fools Day ...Oh Hell No (Sniffles) I called them..and Customer Service was like..Well You asked for a 512gb S8 Ultra...I'm like *I know what I ordered..why April? Thats a whole new season....Well ,It's because of the Specs you want and time you pre ordered.(Sniffles)

:lol:well on the bright side, a lot of orders have been shipping early. I'm tempted to pull the trigger too, but i will wait. Not sure i really need a tablet that big.

Ordered my shit (S22 ultra) through the phone (At&t) because if I did it in store they said I wouldn't be able to keep my plan (God fathered in), if I'm doing the $800 credit trade in.

So I do the trade in over the phone (Galaxy note 8) which took about 1hr and 30 fucking minutes over the phone because the girl could hardly speak English.

But what pissed me off is that the bitch said my phone will be shipped in 2 to 3 business days. I get the email notification and it says my phone will be shipped March 24th!... called them back, talked with a Supervisor, they couldn't do shit about it but just give me some credits because of the mix up.

Its all good because the total including taxes was like $400 for a $1300 phone. Plus I got two Galaxy note 9s just in case I dont like the shit.... I wonder if I could just go in the store and see if I can pick one ?

I'm trying Samsung Messages for a while.

I've read the default is google message with a Samsung skin, but that you can still get Samsung messages separately. With the RCS the google is supposed to be better.

I didn't know that Iphone had basically turned messaging into street gangs. Insteas of crips and bloods it's fruit and droids with blue and green bandanas.

I got my S22 Ultra, on Thursday
The first thing I noticed is how heavy it is, this is a big boy
Oh and don't forget to sign up for your perks
I have Verizon, which gives me Disney+, Espn+, Hulu, & Apple music for free
And I believe AT&T gives you HBO Max for free

I'm chillin at the crib watching, the 4K HDR IMAX versions of Shang-Chi & Dr. Strange

Has anyone bought this and actually used it? I need more reviews from my people


Looks like they were using app "Key2Success Planner" with Samsung Notes
But I think Microsoft OneNote Planner, is pretty similar to that app :dunno:

I've gotten a few text where it would say "so and so loved xyz" "so and so liked xyz" and I thought it was weird, but I didn't realize that was basically a reaction to my text. My cousin, best friend and hair stylist must all have iphones.

Google Messages turns those reactions into emojis.

Apple is insecure as hell, they don't want to allow iMessage, FaceTime, Apple pay, etc. on Android phones all while Gmail, Chrome, Google Pay, etc. are available on iOS. They know they'd lose a lot of people if they did that.

It looks like the S22 Ultra badly needs a software update. Compared to the Note 20 Ultra it's quieter, dimmer with HDR content, and the same brightness in direct sunlight.

Props to this thread. I need some guidance.

I'm currently using Note 10+ on Verizon and it's getting a little squirrely. Trying to figure out the best upgrade.

I'm not interested in the Ultra option as I never used the S-pen (I only got got the note 10 because it was cheaper than the s10 at the time for some reason).

My options are the
1. Samsung S21 FE 5G (this is cheapest option - with $300 off from Verizon with no trade in)
2. Samsung S22+ 5G ($700 off but I have to trade in the my Samsung note 10)

Any reason not to get S22+ ?

Mine just came today but I might not open it. The price of my trade in went up when the phone was in transit so if Samsung won't credit the the addition $180 I'll send it back and buy it again next week.

Just copped this case. I like not having to carry extra stuff so this is for when i want to go out and hang and not worry about having the bulkiness of a wallet or cards just sitting in my pocket. Its the slim spigen so doesn't add much bult to the phone. And i like how the case goes around the spaces between the lenses on the left.
