At least for the next few years, I am pretty firm on needing a jack on my device.
I am currently using an LG v60, and while nice, it’s starting to show its age.
Any suggestions on where to go next?
I was looking at the ROG phone, and while it does seem very nice, I feel like it is a bit much as I don’t game on my device at all.
Are there any good phones I should be looking at?
Thanks!
Still rocking my S10 that I believe is the best phone made.
Wireless charging, wireless power sharing, good waterproof rating, headphone port etc.
Holding onto this thing as long as possible. Might price out a battery replacement… 💪
As a phone repair tech, Samsung phones are some of the easiest to repair. Especially for batteries or (if you can get Samsung OEM parts) screens.
I highly recommend you take a look at installing the new battery yourself if you’re able to be precise with a screwdriver. All it takes is the aforementioned screwdriver, a hair dryer/heat gun, and an old credit card.
The only parts you’ll have to buy are the battery and the water resistant seal for the back glass.
How would you rate an S8 in terms of difficulty of repair, regarding screen and battery? I use one and might need to replace these parts, but I am not exactly confident that I’ll not break the phone and can’t afford a new one right now.
Ofc, just in case you’ve had experience with the S8.
Eh…Galaxy S5 is a bitch to repair. Specifically for the screen.
Bad thing is the waterproofing goes out the window after you crack it open, so you gotta be careful from then on.
Samsung have some of the best handsets in the market hands down, but pixel isn’t too bad either
I’d agree to that. I’ve been a pixel user for a few years now, the only reason I chose them over Samsung is that I don’t like Samsung’s software preload.
Am I the only one who dislikes the wireless charging gimmick? Id rather phones dont bother with it to keep the size and cost of the phone down a bit.
I love it because I have a great dock for it. I just set my phone down on it and it charges.
Wireless power sharing makes it worth it to me. It’s not helpful often but being able to charge someones phone in a pinch has saved my ass a few times.
Price isn’t going to go down even if they take out the wireless charging feature. It’s definitely a must for me.
I have usb-c chargers scattered around the house so that I can charge whatever I have (phone, iPad, Switch) wherever I am. Prefer a single standard, whatever it is.
