A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

New motos are just too big for my baby hands so I got myself an s23 for a steal, but I'm finding that I miss some of the functionality that I used to have, and that some features are just annoying on this phone.

What kind of qol apps do you galaxy-havers use? Specifically are there any that let me use more than just double tap and long press on the power button for quick actions?

Note: I don't know if I can jailbreak it and keep my carrier. I use Google fi so it seems like breaking it would break everything? But I have no idea :3

Thanks for the recommendation. I guess I do not mind running stock Android, but I would prefer something less bloated. It looks like the s9 is about $70 here, but the s10 is $150-200. Why would that one be so much more expensive?

One year newer I guess. I think there's a 5G model of the S10 too, so that may inflate prices. Personally I think the S9 was a much better phone. It has a headphone jack, SD card slot (which wasn't available on the S10 5G) and no selfie camera notch/cut-out. The S10 series is when Samsung phones started going downhill badly. Though the S10e was a great phone, my partner has used one for the last 4 years. It does have a slightly lower resolution screen and it's small with a selfie camera cut-out, so not quite as good for watching videos.

S10 series all have good custom OS software too though, so not a bad choice either.
