I had the S7 before going to the S20+ and it greatly pleased me!
The charger will change to USB C, block you plug into is still standard so keep yours if you can change the cord out. The phone comes with the cord, no block. No 3.5 mm headphone jack. You can get headphones that plug into the USB C. I think you can get blutooth headphones that will work too.
Hrmm, well its been awhile since I needed the 3.5 mm headphone jack on my phone, I tend to use a pair of samsung ear pieces.

I noted the screen is brighter. That may have just been me setting the brightness down on my old phone to save battery. Still, this is set pretty low by default and looked very bright.

ITMT: They try to sell you glass protection covers and phone case. I messed up and didn't buy ahead of time so I could have them to set the new phone into as I knew I was getting the 22+. They wanted $40 for the glass protection and $65 for the Otter case. They come Tuesday from Amazon instead where I got 3 glass shields for $11. The case was $19 and unlike the Otter, has a sliding cover to go over your camera lenses. And I just noted it too comes with a shield. For now I'm carrying the phone in a padded case I use for my Playstation Vita.

I tend to get a phone case, but I ignore the covers, I've always found the phone glass strong enough on its own.

Bought the first 3 berserk deluxe tomes, things are huge and leather-bound. Mad hype.

I bought these Carolina Reaper cheese puff snacks. Quite possibly the best cheese puff on the planet. These aren't meant to be eaten one at a time; you're supposed to unhinge your jaw and stuff as many in your mouth as you possibly can. Yes, they are spicy, but yes, they are tolerable if you're anyone but an infant still suckling the teat, and they have a great flavor.

  • New snow boots.
  • Peacemaker Season 1 - It might as well be the complete series considering WB-Discovery is wiping out everything in the DCEU.

I think they're keeping the Suicide Squad intact. We can hope. Fantastic series. Rewatching with a buddy now. First 2 episodes blew him away.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Not really a purchase but this year's Christmas loot haul.

Oooooooooooooh. My niece is about to marry my "After the Fall" VR zombie shooting pal that loves smoking meats. His rig is giving him some trouble. Doubt it looks quite that amazing! Enjoy.
As above, not a purchase, but got a PS5 for Christmas.
I am jealous! I might skip this gen but if I got anything? PS5 would likely be it. Hope you post with some of your observations.

It's to partner with my off-set charcoal bbq-smoker which, unfortunately, runs into issues using in summer here because bushfire season can make using solid fuels tricky (as in not copping a AU$5000 fine for using solid fuel cooking outdoors on total fire ban days).


Hope your pal gets his rig sorted. A broken smoker is a sad, sad thing.

Also got some cash from the grandparents and an 1 1/2 hour long hot rock massage at a spa in town (which I'm greatly looking forward to). Very nice haul~

I finally got around to getting an HDR monitor, and I have to say it can be amazing. The only annoying thing is that it can't detect when I'm in a game or on my desktop, so I have to manually turn HDR on or off manually (there is fortunately a keyboard shortcut for that).

Do you get a yellowish tint when you have HDR mode on?
