No microsd slot
ram reduced from 12GB to 8GB
no fast charger in box
no usbc headphones in box
mst removed
rear facing camera mic removed
the screen res (as you mentioned) went from 1440p to 1080p (the s20 can do both res, 1440p at 60hz or 1080p at 120hz)
plastic back on a min $800 phone


its not all bad,
the cpu got upgraded
added laser auto focus to the camera
the screen is also flat instead of curved edges
they redesigned the camera bump


the microsd slot was just the killer feature that made my decision
I also only had a 5w charger and no way to plug in headphones

Makes sense. When I got my s10+, I chose it over the pixel 4xl, because the pixel had no micro sd slot. I would have done the same as you. I need a micro sd slot.

I'm happy with my s10+. I usally upgrade my phone every 3 or 4 years and I never upgrade to the newest model, usally 1 or 2 generations old. I can't keep buying $1000+ phones every year.

I was hoping Mario 3D World that I bought from Best Buy would come this Friday but ended up moving to Monday. Instead of disappointment, this came by to occupy me while I wait. Also bought on Best Buy online.

Does that one have rumble or is it like the DemonXWhatever one?

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
