I want a headphone jack, removable storage, and a grandma leather s view case ....... wait a minute, i already have one, it's my Galaxy S10, and it still runs flawlessly and has saved me multiple thousands of dollars replacing it with something that doesn't have any of those things, thanks Samsung, you made a helluva phone 6 years ago, and I'm runnin this back bitch until the wheels come off

I'm still rockin an S9+! The only issue is that my headphone jack is now gaped and will no longer retain any headphones. I'm currently using a USB-to-3.5mm adapter, but it was nice to be able to distribute the load when they were both available. I'm not sure a single USB-C port would have held up for 7 years if it was doing both jobs full-time.

I actually just repleace mine. I found that it was actually getting pretty slow at browsing the web. Websites have so much garbage code running on them these days. Funny that the new Samsung phones have the same amount of RAM and storage.

Also, the security updates thing was getting to me. I have way to much banking info exposed on my phone to keep using it out of security update window.

Yeah. Y'all can keep that.

I'll keep my thicc redmagic with a headphone jack and cooling fan that most likely costs 40% less

[–] Kingofclubs615@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Damn I just checked this phone out. This is most likely gonna be my next upgrade.

[–] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I absolutely love it a lot.

However be aware the under-display selfie camera is pretty bad on the Redmagic 9, and the phone is not waterproof because of the fan and headphone jack. The rain won't kill your phone but submerging it most likely will.

The battery life is amazing, the fast charging is pretty fast. I think I got 90% battery in less than an hour. And with the fan, it won't overheat when charging, or at all lol

Also buy a case from Amazon, the case that comes with it is bad lmfao

[–] Kingofclubs615@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

Thanks. Luckily, I rarely use selfie cameras, and I avoid water like the plague even with the "waterproof" phones. This one definitely seems like everything I've wanted in a phone without all the nonsense from the primary flagships.
