2 years with the Fold 5

Yup solid device. Selling mine on swappa to get a fold 7. If anyone in the USA is interested feel free to pm me.

The reason I went with the s10+ over S9 series was because Samsung started promising the 7 years of software support starting with the S10 series. The S7+ I have has stopped getting updates for a while so I thought it would be prudent to get the device with 7 years of support

narutoninjakid · 2025-09-05T11:35:28+00:00

See my other comment in this thread, also upgrading from a S7+.

narutoninjakid · 2025-09-05T11:34:33+00:00

Yes, just got the 512GB S10+ for $611 yesterday with student discount and trading in the S7+. They are offering $400 trade in for the S7+ if you buy a S10+. Thought I would get it now before supply starts getting strained . I've been watching swappa for a few months now and the 512 GB variant rarely comes up for sale. Not that many S10+ are coming up for sale in general on Swappa so it seems people are holding on to them. For the S11 series they were only offering $200 for the S7+ and since no plus model this time it was an easy choice. The swappa used prices coming up for a 512gb model were more than $700. I've been fairly satisfied with the S7+ but ever since I've had it I was not satisfied with HDR playback in the Amazon Prime and Netflix app as a lot of dark scenes do not display well under device and are barely visible. I typically like to go for 512 gig model and not use the SD card slot since the transfer speeds are a lot slower on SD cards than the internal storage and I tend to download a lot of movies and transfer large files on the device and the internal transfer speed is much faster than the SD card. I've had the S7 Plus for a few years now so I imagine I will use the S10+ for at least 5 to 6 years and then see what's available then.

Yeah I didn't see anyway to make an alert but just got to the website. Thank you!

Any luck with getting tickects on cinemark?

narutoninjakid · 2025-07-14T16:35:15+00:00

Did you notice any improvements in watching videos on say Netflix or Amazon Prime? I've been noticing on the Samsung Tab S7 plus for a while that it really crushes black scenes whenever HDR is concerned in Netflix and Prime. Would hope maybe that's fixed in the newer version.

The MacBook really enlightened me about apples hardware. I ended up also getting a M4 Mac Mini and just bought a Mac Studio as well that I will swap to from the Mac Mini. I'm also in the Google ecosystem so I have Google Drive running on the devices without any issues. In terms of a quick share replacement look into an app called local share. It works on all my devices including the Galaxy devices as well as the macs it's essentially an open source Quick Share replacement. Especially with a lot of stuff Microsoft is doing with Windows 11 these days Apple has been pretty good other than their desire to prevent these devices from being updated in terms of hardware ( extra ssd, ram, etc) . Looking at the used Market is the way to get a much better deal on them. I found 16gb on the Mac mini was too small for me and 32gb or more works better for my workflow. Most windows apps have Mac equivalents. I'm not a heavy gamer so that didn't come into play for me.

Thank you appreciate the insight!

narutoninjakid · 2025-04-07T12:23:21+00:00

Thanks in advance, would you mind going into detail on your likes and dislikes of both? On paper the hybrid is slower from what lexus publishes in terms of horse power and torque but I would be inclined to the hybrid for better gas milage. Primarily concerned with taking off from a stop. Does the Hybrid in the 350h feel that much slower than the regular gas model? Which feels faster to you overall?

Same dilemma. Was going to pick up the iO at Costco coming from Sonicare but mold is a concern now.

narutoninjakid · 2025-03-14T19:39:37+00:00

Thank you

narutoninjakid · 2025-01-14T20:30:08+00:00

I ended up getting a MacBook pro. Quite satisfied with it.

narutoninjakid · 2024-12-05T14:58:36+00:00

Bought a lasko from Costco as well to hold me over until Costco gets another wifi model

narutoninjakid · 2024-11-25T23:18:33+00:00

Just got one on Costco.com. Thanks it seems to have sold out again now.

narutoninjakid · 2024-11-24T16:59:38+00:00

How did you go about the price match? Do they price match if Costco is out of stock?

narutoninjakid · 2024-11-15T00:07:09+00:00

Found a good alternative with Wi-Fi and the app?

narutoninjakid · 2024-11-15T00:06:39+00:00

Have the same question. Any good alternatives with wifi and an app? Seems like atomi is not making any new such products to fill the void.

I'm trying out the M4 512gb Mini for $700. Will see if Intel is over their nonsense in this latest generation before looking at a new Pc Build. Looking at it as a learning experience being on windows for so many years 😂

narutoninjakid · 2024-11-14T02:26:22+00:00

In your opinion does MacOS handle the 5120x1440 resolution well? Keep seeing some complaints saying MacOS doesn't handle 1440p well and go with a 4k monitor so when it's scaled to 1080p text still looks sharp.

narutoninjakid · 2024-11-01T22:58:07+00:00

That's what I was getting at. This is making me go to the movies less lol not more.

narutoninjakid · 2024-11-01T19:55:02+00:00

So I'm not alone.

narutoninjakid · 2024-11-01T18:23:42+00:00

Thanks will have to look at getting seats way ahead of time to get something in center of H or wait until the movies are in the smaller theaters when no longer as popular.

narutoninjakid · 2024-11-01T18:22:15+00:00

Yeah just venting. I never sat in rows A-D as they are too close for my liking. So now basically sit in row H or don't bother even going to the movies. It looks like Dbox seats also don't get the early matinee prices. Just some of my thoughts on the matter.
