PRO TIP on Samsung Galaxy phones: if you are planning to use many of the extra features Samsung loads on the phone, it may be a good idea to buy a higher-spec phone that you would normally use (eg if you had been buying a stock-like Android phone). While you may not find a lot of their extra features useful, they do have a lot of useful features that need memory and processing power (Secure Folder, Edge Panels, S-Pens, three tier lock-screens (including the always-on-display), etc). Of course the list of what one finds useful varies by person, which is why Samsung loads it up with hundreds of extras 🙂 The last time I got a new Galaxy phone, when I did the initial system update, it had over 400 (!!!) apps pre-installed. LOL. So much for going away from the TouchWiz overstuffing 🙂

THEN we dial down the yellow on our monitors and head on over to the Best Buy dailies where they have:

PS: yes dear readers, we are at the half-way point until Christmas 2021! Where did all the time go? And have you began planning your Christmas gifts for 2021? Should we include masks and gloves and Purrells and plexiglass in them once again? Or just Walgreen’s gift cards and they can buy them on their own (in case COVID subsides and does not resurface in full force in the winter). These and more important questions must needs be answered before the gift-buying season begins!
