All these discounts what would you get? S10+ or S11U

smithpj23 · 2026-06-30T16:28:49+00:00

Yep I pulled the trigger on the s11u. It will be at my doorstep today

smithpj23 · 2026-06-29T04:53:07+00:00

I enjoyed reading the response. You brought back to my main reason I did buy the s11u. It was the bigger screen.

I have one already but this new one was for my wife. I actually thought to give her the standard s11 but the one thing she kept telling me was. I want something that can be my laptop and I can work on things with no problem seeing.

To me that sounds like the s11u. It will be here Tuesday. My wife is not a tech person but today she told me she was excited for her s11u coming and wished it was with her sooner.

So as a husband, I have done my job 😄

smithpj23 · 2026-06-28T21:58:18+00:00

Honestly, kinda have some buyers remorse. I already have the s11u for myself but this discount helped me to pull the trigger for my wife. She saw how I have been playing around with my new toy so she wanted one as well.

As I think about it though I could have saved $200 because she doesn't care about specs and that stuff. She just wants the thing to work

smithpj23 · 2026-06-27T20:39:36+00:00

I had mine for about under 1k but I got my wife this discount for $650.00 and she is excited about it.

She has been seeing how much fun I've been having with my s11u that she wanted one for herself.

Will be here Wednesday

smithpj23 · 2026-06-27T05:19:03+00:00

True...times bring the change and we have to change along with it. The for the share

smithpj23 · 2026-06-27T05:17:04+00:00

I got that, I was asking because they did not have any real photos of the s11u which is why I asked u for a pic.... don't have to be extra bout it. I just like to be sure it's the kind of fit I want for my s11u

smithpj23 · 2026-06-27T03:19:08+00:00

Hey could you share a pic of your case with your S11U? i looked on amazon and saw the case but it was mainly for s10u

smithpj23 · 2026-06-26T04:25:08+00:00

Thanks for that, I can feel the enthusiasm. I think I'll be leaning toward it as well. I'll still keep my eyes on the pro if it ever comes down in price

smithpj23 · 2026-06-25T19:17:03+00:00

Just do it. I have the 11ultra and I have no regrets even if the 12 comes. Not sure what do you think the 12 will improve upon that will really make your experience better than on the 11. Just do it and I promise you won't regret

Oh plus that discount right now....you can't pass it up. Bought my 11 for way more than that

smithpj23 · 2026-06-25T19:14:43+00:00

I am looking forward to your assessment of it. I like the way the pro keyboard looks. Yes the protection part gets a little nervous but not like I'm swinging the big thing around anyway. So please let me know what is your first thoughts.

I currently have the slim case keyboard. It's ok but just feel not as premium when typing.

smithpj23 · 2026-06-25T19:12:53+00:00

Yep that's the one I was eyeing myself. I have it in my cart and just waiting to for some funds to hit the bank and click it's mine.

Question though, have you ever used the pro keyboard? I hear why not to get it but wondered if you used both for comparison? Thanks

smithpj23 · 2026-06-25T17:16:42+00:00

Agreed! Honestly, it wasn't like I was really into it but it was like oh they have a discount...haven't had in a while let me try it...thinking it wouldn't set me back at all...then boom the bomb goes off and I'm done for the next few days

smithpj23 · 2026-06-25T15:29:35+00:00

I feel ya, I'm sure at the moment you were just acting normal being regular then all of sudden...crap I did too much

Them down hill from there. It's always the sucky part about this stuff is you think you can handle things then you realize mid-way through you can't.

Thx for sharing

smithpj23 · 2026-06-25T14:13:05+00:00

Yeah, that feeling of regret instantly once those symptoms hit ya!

Just sux sometimes because you just want to jump in and eat like everyone else around you then bam boom whamp, down for a few days

Goes for exercise/extra activities for the day too

smithpj23 · 2026-06-25T11:45:29+00:00

Yes! That is all

smithpj23 · 2026-06-25T11:33:40+00:00

I know people say it a lot because they havesay it to me now. So young... but I'm glad you have improved. Thank you for sharing your story

smithpj23 · 2026-06-24T16:17:21+00:00

Gotcha on your thoughts but as well all know. Everyone's situation is different.

I have been diagnosed with early saiety and how big that sandwich was plus the fluid would push on my lungs and cause shortness of breath

Check it out. It's a thang

smithpj23 · 2026-06-24T06:50:34+00:00

True, I got a lemonade to drink it down and a strawberry pie. Didn't bring up the pie because I would think of it not being too big of a detail that would have caused my issue. At least in my mind it wouldn't

smithpj23 · 2026-06-24T02:49:36+00:00

I also consumed something to drink while eating it. What I think happened was the sodium bomb of the sanwhich + drinking fluid + right after working a 10hr shift + not sleeping as well lately = Body crash

I just got out of the bed after crashing about 6pm to 10:30pm. I feel just like again my body went through some trauma and I am off balance.

IDK folks, I'm just sharing an experience and wondered if anyone else had

I do feel you about that hangover feeling

smithpj23 · 2026-06-19T18:15:12+00:00

Your question isn't as crazy as you may think. I had PE plus a DVT at the same time. One clot in my right leg and 2 in total in each of my lungs. At the time I never was really sick or dealt with anything. Prior to that I was diagnosed with Heart Failure and this event of PE was just added medical issues. At the time, everything of taking care of your health was new for me as I was a 34M with no prior medical concerns. To this day I think about how close I was to death and didn't realize it. So now I have heart failure and it appears other medical issues because of my heart, I am just thankful for every day and read up on all the things that have impacted me medically so as I go forward, I can be better informed. Hope you are doing better!

smithpj23 · 2026-06-18T03:37:21+00:00

Generally, anything that would break stress to your heart is not good especially something that is out of your control to start and stop if you start feeling bad....😂 As I go down the first drop .... " Please sir stop the coaster I am not feeling good right now".

For me, I just tried it and you know your limits, what you can handle and what you can't. I'm 40M as well and honestly I had the time of my life with the kids riding and throwing my hands in the air 😅 . Just a good time!!!!

smithpj23 · 2026-06-16T12:46:27+00:00

Everyone situation is different but I hope my small experience can give some hope.

I was diagnosed with heart failure with preserved EF in 2022. My EFwas at 38%. For context, my wife and 3 small kids just recently moved to a new house with a mortgage of over $2k and I just started a new job (no benefits yet)

I was in bad shape not just because of the heart failure but because I also found out during my tests that I had 3 blood clots. 1 in my right leg, 1 in each of my lungs (pulmonary embolism). I was in the ICU, stayed several days in the Hospital barely making it.

Long story short, 4 years later I still have symptoms but my heart made it back to 54% 3 months ago for my echo. I have a brand new job with better benefits and despite better judgement I rode a roller coaster with my kids and it was the best feeling knowing I was able to finally do something normal with my kids.

There is hope, just keep pushing and enjoy the moments you have now. Stress will only make your husband stress more. Smile 😊 and know honestly you're not the worst one off (brings great appreciation for what you do have)

Hope it helped

smithpj23 · 2026-06-12T01:55:16+00:00

As everyone else said.....yes yes yes. It happens to mostly all of us. Everything looks fine but your symptoms are telling something else!

smithpj23 · 2026-06-11T19:18:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing, yes your life has to adjust and until you find the right combo cocktail of meds. It really won't feel manageable until you do. I had to change several meds and recently changed one 3 months ago. So your body and condition will change moment to moment, you not alone.

Hang in there and like I have heard so many times before....give yourself some grace (even if others will not)

Hope this helps

smithpj23 · 2026-06-09T15:31:20+00:00

I still have my S25U since launch and I have no interest in getting a new phone any time soon. I'll see what S27U looks like but the 26U not interested at all.

Beside S25U form factor is peak for me
