When you are at work all day why don't you use smart lock or trusted places or whatever it is your version of android has to keep the phone unlocked there?
Because if you leave it unattended for a minute you'll have random dick pictures posted to your facebook.When you are at work all day why don't you use smart lock or trusted places or whatever it is your version of android has to keep the phone unlocked there?

ahhh true, working in a zoo has its downsides
If there are some pranksters in the office I'll keep it locked or take it everywhere with me but as of now I keep it unlocked based upon the wifi network I'm on. My house, work, family's house, friend's house - I like the fingerprint sensor in the back as it's best when taking the phone out of your pocket when out and about - your finger is right there, so it's best for that kind of usage.
Isn't the active series flat (though ugly)? Will be interesting if they hint at all to the rumored foldable xI want flat screen or i will die with my note 5. To old to change from samsung tw or ...heck nearly everything.
Any flat highend ss in the horisont?
Yeaa nice hint but i cant hold all that metal and an active in a case is to bulky. Besides the screen format is just to long if its similar to s8. Imo. And yes its uglyIsn't the active series flat (though ugly)? Will be interesting if they hint at all to the rumored foldable x
It's not about fast charging. Its about the fact your sealed phone becomes a paperweight in two years time. I'm going on 2+ years right now on a LG g4. I plan on using it at least another year maybe two. Planned obsolence is a great idea for manufacturers and complete idiocy on the part of the buyer.That is highly HIGHLY unlikely. Sealed phones allow engineers much easier ability to attain IP67/68 rating, as well as allowing a larger battery in the same size device vs an identical sized device with a removable battery.
That coupled with wireless fast charging and Quick Charge and the fact phone batteries tend to last all day these days even with heavy use. I just don't see Samsung going back to a removable battery design.

Yes.Can't you usually send the phone in and get a new battery for a fee at or near $100?
I doubt the tests are representative of real world usage. Most people charge for way too long, fast charge in a hot car, charge when battery is nearly full, etc.. I'm sure Samsung's tests are at room temp and charge once a day when battery is low. All perfect test conditions. Just give me back my replacable battery!http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...ill-degrade-less-quickly-than-the-galaxy-s7s/
Specifically, Samsung says that after two years' worth of charges and discharges, the Galaxy S7 only maintained about 80% of its total effective battery capacity. The Galaxy S8 and S8+, however, will maintain 95% of their capacity over that same period with the same usage. Samsung isn't going into the specifics of how this was accomplished, which isn't surprising, but it could perhaps both be the battery itself and advancements with the charging and power management systems.
So...maybe now the replacement is every 4 years. Maybe the S9 will have even better results. I'll wait for the S9, before jumping into a new phone, hopefully they will have some good deals for the people willing to jump first. Or I'll be getting a note 8 if the specs aren't impressive enough.
I personally coudn't care less what 'many people' do. Is it possible? Yes? All I care about. That other people don't know something- means squat diddly. Phones are a personal choice mostly, and every aspect of having one, using one, replacing it/upgrading it whatever are personal choices.I doubt many people are sending in phones worth about $200 for a $100 battery replacement. And the turnaround time means you better have a backup phone to use in the meantime. No thanks. I will use the g4 until it dies or replace it with a v20 sometime at the end of this year. That'll be 3 years of use. Oh and current battery is a 6500mah beast.
