PSA: Samsung will not fix Samsung products bought in a different country

I found this out the hard way when I took two seperate devices (Galaxy s8+ and Galaxy buds) into the Samsung store due to independent issues, in Australia. They refused to even look at both due to being international models. The buds being from New Zealand, unsure on the phone.

In my bewilderment at the lack of global support I called my local Apple store asking for a hypothetical repair of an overseas iPhone. They had no issues whatsoever.

Just thought this needed to be better known as onlin...

New navigation concept: Gesture navigation + navigation buttons! The best navigation concept? What do you think?

With android 10 google introduced a new gesture navigation system. Unfortunately it doesn't fit seamless in the android ecosystem.

Back gestures on screen edges ofthen cause false actions like on opening hamburger menu or scrolling in a gallery. Whith two hand phone usage back gestures feel very uncomfortable. Also the google assistant gesture from screen corners can be hard to trigger with one hand.

I really like the home gesture where you push an app up to the homescreen with a nice smooth a...

/r/android reviews: LG line

Device reviews are everywhere these days. From big name technology websites to lesser known blogs, and to the rising stars on YouTube. You can find hours upon hours of review content on most any well-known device out there.

For those of you who like to hear about devices from actual users, though, it's hard to find a good place with reviews that aren't scattered all over the place. Plus, many reviews only showcase the device while it's being tested and might not reflect real-world usage over a ...

PSA: Don't use ultra power saving mode if you have a password and have disabled the Samsung keyboard

I have a Galaxy S8 and have disabled the Samsung keyboard (among a bunch of other apps) as I prefer using Gboard. I'm also using fingerprint+password instead of a PIN, which lead to a very unfortunate situation today.

For the first time, I activated the ultra power saving mode as I was running low by noon. However, UPSM disables the fingerprint sensor, forcing you to enter the password every time. But as UPSM also disables all but a few apps, Gboard was also disabled. With no keyboard available...

How much storage do you need on your phone?

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well.

I wanted to start a discussion regarding smartphone storage and how much you actually need on YOUR phone.

I have a Note 10+ that comes equipped with 256GB storage and I've owned it since 24 August 2019.

In 5 months I've managed to conjure up a whopping 39GB/256GB used storage.

I've never really been one to take hundreds of photos and videos and all of my music is saved on Amazon Music which doesn't take up any space on my phone.

I don't have a ma...
