    Samsung Galaxy Redesign vs Refresh

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 01:56 AM PST

    I have has a Samsung galaxy phone since the S4 and have been upgrading every two year. I was always happy to upgrade because it seemed Samsung would do a complete redesign every two year then just refresh the previous model in between. I felt like I was on a good upgrade cycle.

    E.g: S6=Redesign, S7= Refresh, S8=Redesign, S9= Refresh, S10= Redesign, S20= Refresh.

    Now looking at the leaks from the S21, this has been the first time that I have not seen any major reasons to get excited about upgrading my s10. I'm due for a new phone now but I'm thinking of waiting for the s̶3̶0̶ next Galaxy model that comes out in 2022.

    What is everyone else's though on the Redesign vs Refresh cycle of the galaxy phones? Do you feel like the s20 & upcoming s21 were/are redesigns or just a refreshed version of the s10? It may be that phones are so refined now that it either to hard to redesign or there is no good reason to redesign if the current design is still working well.

    Edit: Changed "waiting for the s30" to "the next Galaxy model that comes out in 2022".

    Made the switch to an iPhone 12 Pro Max (From Pixel 4)... I don't get why everyone hypes the hell out of Apple phones.

    It's a nice phone/piece of hardware... that's for sure. But I think Android's UI is much better. Swipe from the edge to go back is worlds better than clicking in the corners (and hoping it registers your press correctly and doesn't just fat finger click wherever near that).

    I must say though, iMessage is 1000x better than standard texting... Google really needs to get on board with that. Why they haven't, I can only speculate. (so they can datamine your unencrypted texts)

    The volume toggle buttons on the phone are incredibly un-intuitive. I'm sitting here messaging on imsg thinking, wow these ding notifications are loud... so I slide the volume down.. nothings changing, everything's the same volume? You have to go into the settings and 'link' your notifications volume with the volume slider. Kind of weird. I terribly miss Android volume settings (easy access to volume/ringer/alarm/media all separately).

    I didn't realize that phones don't have built in Caller ID for numbers outside my contact list, and that it was just Google identifying all my calls (and blocking all the spam calls). iPhones don't block spam calls without a third party app. (which none seem to be free, or they aren't good).

    That's just a few things that come to mind.

    Why don't phone manufacturers make matte screens?

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 04:42 AM PST

    Matte phone screen would remove the need for oleophobic coating, be smudge resistant, be easier to maintain and use, and just be better overall. Why don't manufacturers make phone screens matte, like the matte glass they use on the back of a lot of phones? Is there a reason for this?

    RCS surprised me this morning

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 05:59 AM PST

    This morning I woke up and checked my new iPhone. No notifications and all seemed normal. I then walk past my previous phone (Galaxy S8) and noticed the notification LED going off.

    I unlocked the phone and was surprised to see that I got a notification from Google Messages. Someone from my work was asking me to come in later than scheduled. My co-worker uses a Galaxy S10. Keep in mind, my S8 does not have an active SIM in it.

    I replied to the number on my iPhone amd turned off RCS on my S8. A reply was then sent to my iPhone and all is good.

    So...I think that I understand what happened here, but was very surprised RCS functioned in this way.

    Anyone else have RCS surprise them in a similar way?
