Ya that Bixby button makes me hate Samsung. I thought it was no longer a Bixby button on the S10?
I'm on the S9, but my S9 experience is my determination for whether to continue with Samsung or look at another option. Samsung could allow me to disable the Bixby button at any moment if they wanted, so its continued existence is an every day clear as a bell statement from Samsung that they want to make absolutely sure that I consider Huawei for my next phone. It's not about whether it is fixed on the S10, it's about how they view me as a customer.

Just sat back down after running around since 9 this morning.

True, I would not buy a Samsung phone anymore for sure. This S9 was free and my last one was $100...so ya.

Back to my earlier post about NC16 and uploads - I dropped a Win 10 Pro iso into one of the folders and it uploaded successfully. 4.7Gb Not sure what the "limit" is now by default.

I really like mine, but from the reviews, Huawei seems to be way better at a way better price point. No Bixby problems (which aren't huge , but crazy annoying), way, way, way better camera, much lower cost, and not as good of a screen. But I normally turn down the screen resolution anyway, so ... I dont' care. Oh, and better battery and way better charger (40W instead of 15W).

Anyone used a OnePlus phone? I think this would be the first brand I'd look at it if not for my Pixel. Great phones and specs for reasonable prices it seems.

What blows my mind with the Samsung is the amount of money that they must be spending to shove in my face how they must be overpriced and underperforming.. making me think about how I should be looking at something more competitive. Bixby isn't cheap, and putting in negative value hardware that has no reason to be there just to cripple the phone a tiny bit means that they are just throwing money around and mocking me with how much I overpaid for the device. Um, of course, I'm going to wonder if there isn't something else that I should be looking into. And once I checked the reviews, the P30 seems to be the clear choice.

If the camera was any better on this S9 I wouldn't even notice.
Hardware wise I lile the S9, software wise it sucks. Well, I dislike curved screen. Is the Huawei?

No optical zoom, the gap between the camera on the S9 and P30 is huge. You'd literally have to be blind to not notice.

With the local sync client there are no limits.
If you do it via web, then you need to make sure things are setup right.

Sadly that is the same.

Optical or digital?

Optical, everyone has digital. Digital zoom is just a marketing term for automatic cropping, it's not a zoom.
-
P30 has a decent amount of true zoom, first one of its type to do it. It's a huge breakthrough. That's what put it on my radar initially.

@JaredBusch I did a drag and drop on the web interface.
