Kind of need something by Monday unfortunately because I'll need to ship the S10 out.
You misunderstood me. I'm saying if they'd had a decent price reduction, instead of offering accessories people may or may not want, they'd have shifted a fair few.

Got ya. Maybe a shipper can overnight. Its a holiday Monday though so I would think nowhere will be able to get it to you by Monday.

Looks like my Galaxy S10 local sale is falling through and man, I get so many low ball offers that I may just keep my S10. At least it's not imminent now so I can look at Swappa and find a better deal.

Why not sell it on Swappa? I sold an iPad pro on Craiglist once and got paid in fake 100's. Lost 500 bucks. It always makes me hesitant to sell on CL because of that. Although, I bought a money pen and leave it in my truck like the degenerate phone flipper that I am. Lol

Yeah I probably will. I hate their fees and my S10 is technically a US Cellular brand but unlocked. So I'm pretty sure I have to sell it as a US Cellular brand. It's not the end of the world if I keep both, and I might actually do that.
Been taking pics on my P30 Pro and Pixel 3a XL today. Looking at any on their own, they both take great pics. But looking at them side by side (and on my iPad so the viewing screen is the same), I always favour the Pixel. The colours and usually detail look better on the Pixel to me. I almost miss the days when I was strictly an iPhone guy, I never had this trouble. lol
Twice now I've gone to wipe my Pixel to send it back but can't quite do it yet. lol

It's the camera that's holding me back. If I do send it back and keep the P30 Pro, I suppose it would make getting the Pixel 4 more refreshing.

I've also been looking at 128gb 3 XL on ebay over the weekend. lol
Overall, it produces a better quality picture. Or at least one that I prefer. Portrait mode is better as well.
Oh, I'm sorry. I misread your post. Yeah, that camera is insane. Most of my iPhone photos take some editing to get them look the way I want them too. In contrast, Pixel photos are almost always perfect.

Go safe and get one in Swappa. I paid 585 for the 3 XL Mint condition and it had 128gb, water proof, wireless charging, saving to Google photos full resolution, and most likely a little bit better in sunlight. For about $160 more.
We don't have Swappa in the UK. Cheapest second hand UK model I've seen to buy now is around £700 ($890) which is way too much. Could get a new import for £668 but not keen on that because I want a UK warranty.

Oh damn yeah that is crazy. If you can stomach the bad viewing in the sunlight, is stay put then.

This phone, and it's camera are just a joy to use. No other Android comes close in my opinion.
I can't believe how good the results from the camera are, consistently.
Point and shoot and you generally always get a great shot. I have also always thought that portrait mode on the Pixel is better than anything else. Which is astonishing considering one lens.
