scorpio, 23 Oct 2019Hi Cupcakes just out of interest what made you change from iPhone to Samsung and was it a diff... moreYes it's really the personal likes and preference.
Whether if it's easy or difficult to move from ios to Android will depend on how deep you've been rooted within the Apple ecosystem. For example, to get the maximum out of Apple products like Apple watch, you need an iPhone. Also the brand loyalty matter i guess...like if your first phone was an Apple device and you liked it, you'd prefer Apple over Android.
Earlier, ios used to be much smoother than Android (specifically Samsung's Touch Wiz). But here in 2019, with android one and the with the launch Google's pixel devices, Android OS has improved a lot.
Smoother animations, the versatility it brings to the table, customization options, even the hardware range you can choose from, makes the Android a better option in my opinion.
IOS is great. It has it's pros and cons as anything in this world.
In my case, i had an iphone 7 before this (i still use it). And a S7 edge before that xD. So i originally switched from Android to iOS, and the transition was really easy. Google services are available in both OSs and seamlessly sync between the duo.
Then switching from Apple to Android again, it's not anywhere near to being difficult as some youtubers suggest. Cloud services make sure you don't lose your progress in games or apps.
Honestly, switching from Android to ios is way more difficult. If you have offline music tracks, you need to go through iTunes from a computer to transfer them to your phone You can't download directly to your phone unless you're using some paid music service. Can't download torrents. And...you're stuck in the App drawer for your life LOL.
And the reason I'm suggesting Androids over iPhones when people ask in these comment sections is:
Price: if you compare iphone 11 to S10 for example, they're very similarly priced outside United States. (Where i live, iPhone 11 is priced higher than S10)
Hardware: Iphone 11 has a low res display compared to android counterparts. Some even offer high refresh rate displays at the same price range. (The same reason you bought the S10 over note 10 right?)
Hope you found your answer somehow from the above explanation and sorry for my late reply.
Anyways, switching between the operating systems isn't that difficult if you've saved your data to particular services like Google account/twitter/facebook. Most apps allow users to login with google account(which is available in both OSs) or some kind of a social media app which saves the app data to the relevant account.
And finally, it's your personal preference. You're living your life, you must enjoy whichever you like without caring too much about others opinions. Your life your choices, right :)

Do you notice any big differences or is it slight differences? This is just a personal thing but I really dont like the punch hole in the top right hand corner. Does that have a big impact on the experience would you say. E.g Do you find that distracting?

Anonymous, 23 Oct 2019Just a reminder, anyone can unlock your phone via under display fingerprint scanner as feature...How is that possible? Face regonation not face. If someone has a photo of you if you show it, it unlocks your phone. Check it on youtube.

My wife has an iphone11 but I much prefer my s10. Perhaps it is just mind over matter.

Andy, 18 Oct 2019Should I get the s10 or the iPhone 11 Logically if you ask in the Samsung section you will be told s10 and if you ask in the Apple section you will be told iphone11. Try them both and see which one you prefer. I have an s10 and my wife has an iph11. Both good and we each like our own phone.

Andy, 18 Oct 2019Should I get the s10 or the iPhone 11 For me, s10 seems the better option. I have an iPhone 7 too, which i really like, but for the amount you're paying, S10 gives you the better value in my opinion.

Cupcakes, 18 Oct 2019Do you mean like your phone's notification sound going off without leaving a clue every 3 minute?You can download an app called "Nice Catch" (comes as a part of official Good Lock bundle) from galaxy store.
It can monitor the followings:
1) Vibration history
2)Ringermode history
3)Callmode history
4)Toast history
5)Detect commercials
6)Screen wakeup history
Try to use this app and figure out what is causing the buzz.
Or Optimize now option in the device care, then clear recent app cards and restart the phone to see anything changes.

I have a problem since yesterday with my S10 ... Got alert going off every 3 minutes ...
It's not “Notification reminder,” ... It stops when I turn on wifi ... but if I goes off when I go out ... turn off wifi, and 4G off ... starts again... so now I've turned off Location .. GPS .. to see if its that ... I've had the phone a month .. no problem ... any ideas ...
