Apple offers 1TB in their Pro models. It's not necessarily about an SD card, but about the fact that Samsung can't touch that. For real power users, onboard storage is indispensable. Amateurs who don't push their devices to their full potential can't even fathom how to use 1TB storage. Lol.

Based on today's leaks, the Ultra will top out at 512gb; half of what its main competitor offers. I have a Note 20 Ultra with over 600gb data. If Samsung doesn't offer a 1TB model, I can't "upgrade." Samsung already lost me on foldables with their old cameras, and now they're working on losing me altogether.

You can search for instructions to downgrade your phone's Android OS, and should get several results leading you to the right software and firmware. It's not for the faint of heart, and the process is too long to detail here. BUT, the really bad thing is that your carrier may force updates on you anyway. I know because I downgraded my Note's OS when Samsung removed Pro Video on the camera in an update. A few days later, BOOM, "Software update is ready to install," with no way to stop it. Downgraded again, and the same thing happened. After the third time, I gave up. It was a losing battle, and you have to completely wipe your data every time you downgrade.

Wow; nice catch! You can see the folder, but nothing inside it. The app linked above works great though, so it seems like "My Files" will be the latest Samsung app to no longer have any use for me. Unfortunately, avoiding Android 11 isn't a viable option, since many carriers will force it on you eventually.

As others have said, you can reinstall an older OS. The big caveats are: 1. Make sure you have the correct firmware version for your model/carrier. 2. The process will factory reset your device. 3. Depending on your carrier, updates may be forced on you anyway. So, after going through all the trouble, the phone will force you to get the update again within two weeks. Ask me how I know. 😉

And, of course, any other third-party app will work, but you'll probably need one with an "ad-free" purchase option, or you'll get ads in the free versions as well.

Yes. In Gallery Settings, hide or unhide albums. I have a ton hidden.

Disable the app and download AccuWeather Premium. Sorry, but there's no way to get rid of Samsung's obnoxious ads. ☹️ Some people claim success with system-wide ad blockers. I've tried them all, and none work.

In the US, my experience has been about a week for the entire process. I've done it twice.

And here I am, getting praise for all the pictures I've been posting on Instagram. In fact, all my colleagues with iPhones always ask me to send them MY pictures of the same things we both photograph! 😄 👊

You have to remove the shipping stickers at the bottom and top of the phone; that is what is scratched.

I called, and mine will be handled via promo code to apply to the earphones ($30).

All phones do the same. Even the iPhone will crop a main sensor shot if conditions dictate. The periscope lens on the Ultra has a 3.0 aperture; you do NOT want low light shots from that sensor. If you're not happy with the results, you should really consider returning the phone for a refund while you can, because it's not a flaw. Another option might be to find a third-party camera app that can force the 5x lens.

Samsung shouldn't advertise those offers the way they do. You WILL NOT receive a single minute of free YouTube Premium, or Spotify, as part of your purchase. They aren't gifts. The offers are meant to snag new users, and they're just free trials any NEW user can get just for asking the respective services. That's why, if you've ever tried the service before, you won't get anything. You COULD try a new email address as a workaround, but I haven't seen what the sign-up requires.

If it's any comfort: every reviewer I've asked has yet to experience the issue, and apparently, PhoneArena was blasted for even publishing the story. Also, I did a search for the issue, and it seems it's nothing new, regardless of brand/model, especially in certain parts of the world.

If you think TD Bank stinks right now, at least you'll be spared having to access your account online. Ugh.

Yeah...that is not going to be good at all. Condensation is going to create water spots which cannot be wiped off, forever affecting image quality. And Samsung is saying it's normal, so you can bet it won't be addressed. I'm going to keep an eye on the situation, but if it happens to me even once in the first 15 days, it's going RIGHT back. The only comfort I can see is that not a single reviewer has mentioned anything like it.

If I can't use them any way...might as well 'not ' use them on an Apple product. None of your S8 apps work on your S10, huh? Forgive me, but that's impossible; unless you bought a counterfeit S10. And I couldn't help notice you didn't name a single "problem" app. If you're going to troll, you're going to have to step your game up.

If you're leaving Samsung, going to Apple is going BACKWARDS. Consider, for example, the Note 20 Ultra. Yes, it's expensive at $1300, but I bought an iPhone 11 Promax for my daughter last year which was even more expensive, and the Note is vastly superior. My advice, fwiw: stick to Android, if not Samsung.
