Review on Fully Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S10+ (128GB, Prism Black) - Refurbished Edition by Danish Danish ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Didn't quite buy it well, had a little trouble using it.

After a long history with Apple products, I made the deliberate switch to Android. In lieu of gazing at my Galaxy S10+, I used XR and waved. I want to preface my review by saying that I am not an Apple apologist and that I do not particularly like their products. Concisely getting to the point. The smartphones used were comparable, except the S10+ does not maintain a charge while in use. While the XR's charge remained constant at 90% +/- over the same journey to and from work, the Galaxy's dropped to 75% over the course of the same distance. The application is identical. The galaxy needed to be charged all the time, so I developed an abnormal fear of looking at chargers. There are other ways to interpret Samsung Pay. First of all, if you enable gesture control (as I did), you'll be completely perplexed to learn that swiping to call Samsung Pay is the same as swiping to launch the application switcher (HOW, SAMSUNG?). Adding Google Pay solved one issue, but it introduced another: Google Pay only uses the default card, so if you want to use a different card, like a prepaid one, you have to open the app and select it. After a while, the pixel overcharging started blinking, and while at first I blamed the device's malfunctioning proximity/distance sensor, I soon learned that this was intended behavior. Although OneUI functions normally, phantom friezes can occasionally occur. After the advent of FaceID, finger recognition systems like TouchID may seem quaint, but they appear to function adequately so long as the user's fingers are clean and dry. I can't believe people really buy this considering the price difference between flagships and sub-flagships. While a massive black beard does obscure some of the screen, application optimization is at a whopping 0%, or 70% prog. Enough for a week, exchanged (somehow, because nobody needs an android on the market) for XS with my surcharge of 10K and exhaled calmly, everything is for people here.

Pros
