I’ve heard a lot of good things about the S10. And it’s interesting how many technology journalists are making direct comparisons between the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and the Samsung Galaxy S10.
According to what I’ve been reading, the S10 wins out on battery performance. But the iPhone XS and XS Max are better in terms of mobile performance. Apparently, the S10 isn’t quite as good in places where the mobile signal is weaker. I’m still on the iPhone 6s, and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+. The iPhone is an old device now and it’s no longer possible to do trade-ins. Same is true of the S6 Edge+. I can’t afford to be buying a new device and, to be honest, if I could, it would probably be a watch of some type. I’m still erring towards the Apple Watch Series 4, if for no other reason than the seamless integration with the iPhone. OK, the 6S is an old device but at least it still runs the current OS. So until things change, it’s a matter of making the best of what I have. Oh yes, and I do still have a 2015 Sony Xperia X Performance as well. But to my shame, since I received it, I still haven’t got it properly set up. That’s something I’m going to have to tackle in the coming days I think. May even have a shot at it now.

I was hoping to be up and running a week ago but I crashed the phone after setup so I had to get a pair of eyeballs to set the phone to factory defaults and start the whole setup process again. The first thing I noticed upon exploring the phone was the audio which is far better than that of the Samsung Galaxy S9, actually the audio from the Samsung Galaxy S10 its the reference for my mobile phone devices now being the best I’ve heard, from a mobile phone even being slightly better than that of the iPhone 8 There are some things one has to know when using a S10. Every company has mysteries to solve and Samsung is no exception. Samsung have moved the fingerprint reader again so with the S10 the fingerprint scanner is found near the bottom of the screen above the home button - I think <smile> -. Anyway I’m able to use the fingerprint reader to unlock the screen after having some reservations as to whether I could use this method of unlocking. The Smart Switch App during initial setup will only import the Wi-Fi network and associated settings from your older phone and that’s fair enough I guess so to have Smart Switch complete its job - if that’s what you want - of transferring everything from the old to the new phone you need to deal with the notification Smart Switch shows on the screen after the setup process has completed. A welcome’s addition to the setup is the ability to select if you want the default Samsung Apps installed or not, you can select all, none or customise your selection. Okay off to have a rest now and let the Samsung S10 do its thing and get a full recharge. I will try charging my old Samsung galaxy S9 wirelessly from the S10 later on today as well as having another play with the new device. ------------------------------ This post, like all posts to the Techno Chat E-Mail group has been scanned by our server-side antivirus/malware solution.
