Samsung is losing the plot.

    TL;DR Don’t bother. The only reason to stick with Samsung was the smart stylus and they killed it in favor of bad AI.

    Personally I’m now thinking Pixel plus GrapheneOS after a decade of Samsung loyalty due to the stylus.

      First they took the swappable battery, then the IR emmiter, then the magnetic card swipe, then the SD card, then the headphone jack, then added Bixby… They have zero value proposition anymore. Everything else I do is on apple hardware, and so will be my next phone.

      Woo! Took them just a decade to realize the smart stuff in the stylus is bullshit and go back to passive inductives? I’m so happy it happened.

      Passive inductive styluses: have touch force, angle, button(s) Active inductive styluses: have touch force, angle, button(s), the selfie button, extra thickness, extra weight and an extra battery to manage.

      I haven’t bought a new phone because I refuse to give up my S10’s removable storage. Won’t do it. Runnin this fucker til the wheels come off.

        Same here, my Note9 just doesn’t want to give up after 5 years and 2 screen replacements. No wonder it’s LTT’s daily driver – the best Galaxy ever created. I would’ve moved to Sony a while ago… if not for the damn stylus!
