Do Samsung employees tend to always have the latest phone, or do you still see people rocking their S10 at work ?

Its just caching ram in flash. Computers have been doing this for decades already

I live alone. I just never lock the bathroom door. And I also have a Google Assistant device in my living room that can possibly make phone calls for me if i shout out loud from a bathroom

Depends on what you plan to use it for. If all you do it netflix and microsoft office, expect it to last another decade. If you want to use heavy editing software, youll run out of steam in a couple of years.

In 2023, both sides are equally competent options. If you live in the US, the iMessage supremacy is real and theres no Android alternative. If you live anywhere else, it makes no difference. All the apps you want are on both iOS and Android. Cameras, battery life, screen resolution … all pretty much the best you can get on both sides (dont let the hardcore fanboys sway you). If you previously use your Mac to answer phone calls and made FaceTime calls, you may miss that continuity between your phone and Mac.

Just head over to trygalaxy.com on your iPhone to get a feel for the UI.

As Im sure you know, its a considerably more fragile phone with degradable components. It isnt gonna last you more than 3 years (screen wear near the fold), and dropping it will cost you quite a bit in repairs. So if you have the disposable income to allow for all that, you absolutely can go for it.

On the other hand, an S21 plus should absolutely last you another 2-3 years. I have a Note10 that I think will last me another year easily.

Theres always a market for small powerful devices. It isnt as mainstream, but theres a fair few of us who would rather get the smallest version of the device available. Devices like the S10e, S23, iPhone13Mini, iPadMini all exist because people sometimes dont want a compromised experience just because its smaller. The S9FE isnt even in the same league as the S9 in performance and smoothness of UI.

You gotta realize that reddit is a bit of an echo chamber. People arguing that the S23FE is terrible cuz its 0.5% worse than the S22 in some very specific aspect. Any Samsung S series phone of the past 2-3 years will serve you just fine.

Imma say the biggest reason was Carl Pei and his Mac Server Farm threatening to flood iMessage with new users.

The Samsung 35W charger has 2 ports, a USB A port that does 15W, and a USB C with PD upto 35W. If you have your phone plugged into USB A, it will be considerably slower than your 18W car charger, on the other hand, if you get a USB C to USB C cable, youll be looking at 25W charging (the animation changes on the S23 from Green to Blue). But 25W capabilities are also dependent on if youre using only 1 port of the 35W charger or both. If youre using both, it will probably default down to a slower speed too.

Anything S10 and newer is absolutely worth fixing and continuing to use long term. A new phone is going to cost you significantly more than 20k INR.

My guess is that OP lives in a region where Samsung Support Centers dont exist. The last time I had a problem with my phone (battery replacement), I was able to walk in to the support center, give them my phone and come back hours later to pick up the fixed phone. And when I had bluetooth issues with my S-Pen, the guy behind the counter went through all the trouble shooting steps with me to figure out it was a dead S-Pen and nothing wrong with my phone.

But what does the Creator Edition even mean ? Every Tablet that supports the S-Pen comes with it in the box, so who is this for ?

Is it just optional to add Bluetooth functionality to the Tablets that come with a Dumb S-Pen ?
