S10+ amazing

Samsung just keeps raising the bar. I've had the S8+, S9+ and now the S10+. I've loved them all. If I were to point at one thing that's really a massive improvement is battery life. I am a ridiculous heavy user. I have YouTube running just about all day on my desk at work. I'm still at 50%+ at the end of the day.
 
In general I have lost most of the "new mobile phone" enthusiasm. When I had Galaxy S2, turning ON the wifi or GPS would kill the phone's battery in mere 30 minutes. An upgrade to S3 or S4 made very noticeable difference. But for the past 4 or so years, they reach the point where I really don't see a lot of difference, especially when comes to apps. My S8+ and now S10+ run my music apps, sports apps and social media apps in the same manner. Battery holds against streaming Spotify and GPS very well so even if I get down to 20 or 10%, by then I will usually get to a place I can recharge my phone with ease. So, the phones do not improve my apps experience, the thing that I now care about is how do they sync with my cars, what is the camera capable of and what is the storage. That's why I skipped the S9+ and Note 9, given the upgrade wasn't very substantial.
I changed to S10+ because I really liked the punch hole camera, the new Samsung's UI, and of course storage and camera. The phone is also much lighter and slimmer in Samsung's original clear view case than my previous S8+, and while I do enjoy the phone, I really wish for something truly groundbreaking in the future, other than just marginally better specs.

It's a great phone for me......my one issue currently is the phone waking up while in my pocket....It's driving me nuts.

I had that problem with my S8 until I enabled a lock screen pass. Out of nowhere I'd start playing tunes and when checked I had a dozen apps open.
A simple swipe code entry put the fix on it.

I'm longingly following the S10 thread. It's hard to justify retiring my S8+ for it's been solid as a rock. There is always that deep desire to wrestle with. :) It's a good reason.. right?
