Depending on what the specs/price is I may still get the 4a5G. I don't want to spend $200 extra for wireless charging and waterproof

I scooped the 4a 5G. It feels like a 2XL with a larger screen. I do miss the 'squeeze to activate Google Assistant' functionality though.

Google (and I think most popular online retailers) knocked down the price at the moment too btw. (I was able to price match my initial purchase to bring the price down $40 from my Black Friday purchase + trade in price)

Flat display

S21U will have pen support, it comes separate and you have to buy a case if you want to store it like a Note

yea active edge is a perfect feature, and I hate being without it. I considered getting a 4a or 5 just to get the remaining features back. as tech as this s20 is, I'm relatively miserable without a pixel

I definitely don't mind the flat display. Currently have an S8 and had an S6, not a fan of the curved screens as those magnets for cracks in the curved areas where getting a proper fitting curved glass protector is impossible. When I had my S5 I loved it because the glass screen protectors covered the entire display.

Still loving my Pixel 3XL

Also Chromecast with Google Tv the best tech to come out this year IMO

It's made watching TV and absolute pleasure everything is in one place one remote I watch more TV now than I ever have because Chromecast with Google TV.

And it's less for $100 brilliant.

Samsung pushing boundaries again. 2021 foldables become mainstream and they don't have much competition right now

Just got the upgrade to Android 11 on the Note20 Ultra 5G. Considering putting the sim card back in this now.

I got a Google Nest home hub for my kitchen.

It's pretty badass.

Put Youtube tv on that bytch so I can watch tv while cooking or watch cooking videos.


I really like it.

if you have Google home speakers and all your rooms you can also use the Google home hub as an intercom I can call to another room and tell somebody something I already told my girl something the other day and scared the s*** out of her
