Same. Switching back to Samsung after 6 years. Was with Xiaomi from the revolutionary (at the time) Redmi 1s to Mi Max2.

The only reason to switch was to buy a handset that supports Wifi calling because of terrible signal quality inside the house.

Honestly I will miss the BIG screen of the Max 2. Beautiful phone with a huge battery. There was no reason for me to switch phones except that both Jio and Airtel have horrible network coverage at our home.

It is a shame that Xiaomi didn't continue the Max line with the introduction of bezel less phones.

However, there are better apps than basic sms message apps. It's unusual for me to praise anything Microsoft, but their sms manager does an excellent job of separating personal, transaction, etc messages, and presenting current account balance from Bank transaction messages. Reliable and accurate.

What a brilliant app! Man, whoever did this at Microsoft has to be promoted right away.

Holy moly! India to the world! What an awesome job. World class stuff. Pity it doesn’t get the attention it really deserves. Consumer class app.

And this is exactly the app that I had a problem with. But I'm not sure whether it was the app or the format of the message that caused it to stumble.

This app does some serious magic to process incoming SMS. If one of yours was mis-parsed, then you should report it through the Menu > Feedback option.

Nice.

I have never had any problem with it. Certainly not any display problem.

Yes, those guys must be masters of pattern matching. Hats off to them! I have done enough extraction of data from fairly narrowly defined data to know that, from that point on, the difficulty curve shoots up.

Just pre-ordered one as an upgrade from a Oneplus 5T. With the additional 5k exchange discount, the 8gb variant worked out to 27.8K !!

I'm seriously impressed with the exchange value of 13k for my 2.2 year old 5T (40% resale value !!)

I think the Note 10 Lite is a great package for those who want a S-Pen. The biggest downside is the processor but should be fine for my usage. The upcoming S10 Lite is also a super package if S-Pen is not a priority.

Superb pricing I must say. Samsung's Lite edition phones are directly pegged against OnePlus. The affordable premium segment is heating up. This should force OnePlus to maintain the current pricing and not launch the next phone at a higher price.

Cheers,

Am I missing something here?
As I am following Samsung website from yesterday, pre book price quoted as 39K for 6GB version and 41K for 8 GB version before exchange. At this cost, the product seems too pricey considering there is no IP certification and a one year old processor.

But, at 34K it would be indeed a steal. Why have I been discriminated.

The 34k includes the 5k Exchange bonus. So the actual price is still 39 k

Re: Android Thread: Phones / Apps / Mods

My biggest gripe with Note 10 lite is outdated processor. Also at 39k its atleast 5-7k overpriced. One plus 7t at 34999 makes more sense. Judging by this I guess S10 lite will start at 42-43k.
Anyone using Flipkart exchange please beware they have a bad history regarding it. They have a habit of rejecting your phone on stupidest things. I will suggest selling your phone outside than doing the Flipkart exchange.
Guess I will wait for One plus 8 launch and then decide what to buy.

Thank you for quick clarification, now I see it. Unfortunately, my 2.2 year LG G6 yields a mere 4900/- including exchange bonus. Apparently, not all phone entitled for 5K bonus, there is a second list for 3k bonus. The list can be found here.

The pricing made S10e and iPhone Xr VFM. On a second thought, Note 10 Lite is nothing but a face lift version of S9+ with bigger screen, s-pen and Android 10 minus the IP rating and glass body.


Now, s10 Lite with SD855 seems interesting, but looking at the pricing of Note10 Lite, I guess Samsung would put it near to 60k range.
