What owners report

  • “I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 that just seemed old and broken. Replaced the battery, replaced the screen protector, and installed Lineage OS 20. 30€ and a bit of time and my phone feels like it's brand new. @lineageos.org @samsung.bsky.social galaxys10”

  • “The samsung galaxy S10 ultra is the tablet the iPad pro wishes it could be.. I love the big screen, and the ability toulti task and run things I just never could on my iPad pro Very much a personal preference daveknowstech android”

  • “I have the same problem, whether using a Chromecast or a Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra as a client. I got as far as "It looks like it is using software encoding and it should be doing nvenc or something, but it Works Fine for everyone else so nobody ever writes about how any of this shit actually fucking works so troubleshooting it is more effort than it is worth."

  • “I'm typing this from a Galaxy S10 I got in 2020, with Lineage 22 (Android 15) running on it. For sure it isn't the snappiest, but my only real performance issue is loading gifs on Signal, which takes several seconds for some reason. Just tried maps now, actually still fairly fine for me.”
