  • Smart Lock – What I love most about my Samsung Devices

    Have been using a Samsung smartphone for nearly one year and a half, a feature I love most is not anything fancy but Smart Lock.

    This is not the Smart Lock that I installed at my front door – it’s for unlocking the smartphones.

    In short, it automatically keeps the devices unlocked in certain scenarios, for me, I set it up as follows:

    1. I am in my house (it’s not always accurate unfortunately), OR
    2. My device is connected to my Galaxy Buds Pro, OR
    3. My device is connected to my Galaxy Watch 4

    The last two are very accurate and reasonable. If I am wearing buds or a watch, I no longer need to unlock the screen manually.

    When I am going to buy a new phone this year or next year, I will do some research if the new smartphone has something similar. This is the feature I love most.

  • Samsung health doesn’t include the one extra hour today when the daylight saving time ended.

    Today is the time: the daylight saving time ended – the time was rolled back one hour at 2PM.

    I woke up checking my Samsung Health app. I am using a Galaxy Watch 4. I have made some complaints about the sleep tracker although the product overall is great. This morning I am disappointed again – it seems like the sleep tracker doesn’t include the extra one hour.

    As you can see, I slept from 1:26 AM to 9:25 AM, which’s ~ 8 hours. But if you include the one extra hour, I should have slept for ~ 9 hours.

    Anyway, I should watch to get to bed early and get up early😂. This screenshot discloses my bad habit.

  • No longer an Apple user – sold my iPad today

    I have never been an Apple fan, however, more than 2.5 years ago in 2019, I bought my first and only Apple product – iPad wifi 128GB (6th gen). I used it mainly for taking notes paperlessly. The experience was great.

    But today I sold my iPad together with Apple Pencil, which would be replaced by Samsung Tab S7 & S Pen. It is a result of my embracing into Samsung’s ecosystem, not Apple’s. I like the openness & customizability of Android, and iOS UI is just not my type. Additionally, S Pen works well so far, at least better than my sold 1st gen Apple Pencil.

    Yet, I acknowledge iPad as a good product. If you love Apple’s ecosystem, definitely use it. The ecosystem is very important as I realize now.
