So a few days before the
hit the fan I decided that if I was going to end up in some form of social quarantine, I'd better have a new toy to pass the time.
Even though I had nearly a year left on my contract with my Galaxy S10 Plus, I caught Apple-weenie fever and decided I just HAD to have the latest and shiniest offering. I had feared I'd end up in the Upside Down Major thread on some cell phone forum, but with the trade on my old phone and various combinations of promotions on the new one, it was a near push. Plus my bill went down by $20 a month with better service options. Hey - at least I wasn't camping out at the mall overnight to be first in line.
Enter the Galaxy S20 Plus in Cloud Blue, with matching Galaxy Buds Plus. Pics below are random web pics.
After a couple weeks I am absolutely loving it. Maybe THE best display on the market and the 120hz refresh rate makes my old phone feel slow (though it never felt that way when using it).
Loving the ear buds as well. With three sizes available for the tips and ear flange, the fit is ridiculously good. I can't shake them out even when I really try. I'm no audiophile but the sound quality is more than good enough for me and that secure fit makes them a good choice when out for a bike ride. And I can execute all controls with taps on the touch pad or rim of the buds.
And I'm loving having a phone with a bit of colour - I was pretty tired of black.
So did this make any kind of practical sense? Nope! My 'old' phone was just fine. Am I glad I did it? Yup!
