I used this for a sound bar install. Needed the longer length to run the optical cable inwall.
Works great, although pricey for what it is

Very nice smartphone

I got this as a upgrade for my wife on sale through Sprint, her previous phone was a Galaxy S7 Edge. For 320.00 this was hard to pass up. This G8 compared to the S7 Edge, is much faster. The 855 Snapdragon processor is snappy and fast. Apps load without a hiccup.
Ive always heard bad about LG phones, but cant find any myself. The phone oled screen is very crisp and colors are punchy. Animations and pictures look great. The rear fingerprint reader works better than the one on my S10+ imo.
The included 128gb of built in storage is great, tgat will never get filled up, plus added a 64gb sd card for pics and videos. The 6.1 screen size is perfect, not to big or small. The phones wireless charging works great, always enjoy not having to plug the phone into a cable to charge. Just set it and forget it.
I grabbed my wife a Poetic case with built in screen protector on Amazon for under 20.00, much nicer than the overpriced Otterbox Defender cases, which many no longer come with any screen protection.
The only downside of LG phones from what Ive read, is LG takes for ever to rollout firmware updates. I hope thats not the case, but oh well... The battery seems to last throughout a days use, which is great. On my wifes S7 Edge, she would charge it numerous times throughout the day.
The time of flight camera for facial recognition unlock works great, I wish my S10+ had this feature, works nicely everytime. Another nice but untalked about feature is the flush cameras on the rear of the phone.
If you can pick this phone up on sale, I would highly reccommend soing so.

Ill start this review by saying I purchased this same watch for myself on launch day in Silver, the salesman at Best Buy didnt even know it was released and out when I asked if they had it in stock! To his shock it was in stock.
Well, after seeing mine and how much I liked it, my wife wanted one for herself to replace her old fitbit fitness tracker watch. She really likes the watch and enjoys it. Especially on days she remembers to take it with her, and not forget it on the dual charger on her nitestand. I got two of the dual chargers from Samsung that will charge a phone and watch wirelessy at once, for the both of us(one on each of our nitestands).
Only thing this watch wont do is make calls or send texts without being connected via bluetooth to your android or ios phone. Which both of us are happy with. Love all of the watch face choices in the app store.
The watch comes with a small band installed and a 2nd larger band for larger wrists. The watch itself is light with a small profile

A great new phone, with a great price tag.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I pre ordered this new S10+ in Prism White in Feb-19, saved me a little extra on the price. Release date was set for March 8th, shipped on the 22nd of March. So far I have zero complaints on this S10+, my previous phone was a Note 5, I origonally purchased new 5 yrs ago.
Coming from two previous Samsung Note phones the Note 3 and 5, I do not miss the Spen at all as I rarely used it on both Notes. I really like the in screen fingerprint scanner, as well as the entire front of the S10+ being all usable screen. I currently have a WhiteStone Dome glass screen protector installed and using a LifeProof Fre case.
I notice no lag whatsoever on the S10+, everything is great, cant wait for the notifacation ring around the camera for messages and notifacations. The cameras are increible, so many options and aspects is pretty overwhelming coming from my 5 yr old Note 5. The wifi6 or AX is good not Mindblowing, as I have a Asus AX-88U router that also just recieved a firmware update to better support the Galaxy S10 phone line up!
The wireless fast charging is a nice improvement over my Note 5s built in wireless charging(Note 5 had a Otterbox Defender case, and worked fine wireless charging). My S10+ with LifeProof Fre case wireless charges just as good if not better on my Belkin 10w wireless charging pads. I noticed the S10+ stays much cooler fast wireless charging than my Note 5 did(Note 5 got HOT).
I really like having no physical buttons on the screen area, only screen. I would of liked to seen no push buttons on the sides of the S10 line, like rumored to be on the up coming Note 10 phone. The dual camera cutout looks as if it was meant to be there, not at all distracting imo.
My main complaints on the phone is the loss of a Notifacation LED, and huge price tag, prices for flagship phones are out of controll. But as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for'! With the S10 line especially the + model, you get a Flagship of a phone at a Flagship price tag.

4 out of 5A definite upgrade for home entertainment
By nickcal
from Evansville, IN
A few years back, we invested a lot of time and energy in sprucing up our back patio area. We added a pergola, some inviting furniture, and a shiny new grill. Over the summer months, we usually have at least one get together with family and friends and we wanted a comfortable place for everyone to enjoy. As nice as our patio has become, we have been missing one valuable piece of technology — a speaker system. In the past, we would take single Bluetooth speakers outdoors for entertainment, but as our gatherings have grown, those just aren’t a viable option because the crowd overpowers the single speaker. So, we decided to add in a streaming system from Sonos and Sonance.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
This was my first experience with being a Sonos system owner and prior to this system, I had not been aware of Sonance as a brand. But, as I researched them and discovered that the entire system is part of the premium Magnolia brand family from Best Buy, I knew I was going to be happy with the quality that the system added to our home.
The first overall impression of the system was good. The Sonos/Sonance Outdoor System comes well packaged in a single box with each part individually boxed inside. The system consists of the Sonos Connect: Amp, Two (2) Sonance Mag O6 Outdoor Speakers, xPress Audio Keypad, mounting equipment for the speakers, a power cord for amp, and a flat ethernet cable should you want to directly connect your Connect:Amp to your internet modem, router, or switch. If you read carefully through that list, one thing you will notice is the absence of speaker wire, which is required to connect the speakers to the Sonos amp. You will have to provide that outside of this packaged kit.
SET-UP
Overall, the system is not difficult to set-up. Getting started, you will want to select the places you want to mount the speakers paying close attention to their proximity to the amp and your selected length of speaker wire. You want to keep in mind that while the speakers are weather resistant, the Sonos Connect:Amp is not. It will need to be placed somewhere out of harm’s way. Once you’ve selected the proper location for your speakers and amp, you can mount the brackets provided with the speakers. For me, I mounted them into our wooden siding with little problems.
After they are secured, you can snap the speakers into place, but you will want to make sure to run the speaker wire through the speaker first. The speakers have a spring clamp located on the front of the speaker. You attached the wire to the clamps and then run it through a channel at the bottom of the speaker and out the back through a rubber grommet. This seal keeps the speakers weather resistant. Hanging the speakers isn’t difficult, but they aren’t particularly light so it can be a bit awkward. I was able to use my shoulder to brace the speaker while I slid it into the bracket. When I heard the ‘click’, I knew they were locked in. At this point, you will run the speaker wire to your amp. You may choose to tack the wire up against your house (this was my choice) or run it through a wall. Again, this step isn’t ‘hard’ per se, but it’s time-consuming.
The Sonos Connect:Amp is the ‘brain’ of the entire system. To get started, you will connect the speaker wire to the back of the unit and plug it into power. You need to download the Sonos app and follow the in-app set-up steps provided. The amp should automatically connect to WiFi (if available) during the app set-up. Sonos includes connection to a variety of streaming services (Pandora, Slacker, Rhapsody, Spotify, SiriusXM, etc.) so that you don’t have to connect your mobile phone or computer in order to have those services. The final step in the set-up is connecting to the remote. The xPlay Audio Keypad is connected to the system through WiFi and will allow you to pause, play, and skip songs as well as adjust the volume remotely. The xPlay app for the keypad is separate from the Sonos app. So, you will be downloading two apps for one system. One thing to note here - the keypad that accompanies the system can only be controlled with an app that is only available for iOS devices. Since Apple is the main brand I use for mobile devices, this wasn’t a big problem for me. Both Android and iOS users can enjoy the Sonos app and control your music, but only iOS users can use the remote.
SOUND QUALITY
I’ve been incredibly impressed with the quality of the sound this system produces. It has a wonderful even tone for music that is rich with highs and lows and even those who are hard of hearing thought all the audio was crisp and clear coming from the speakers. Even though I don’t consider myself an ‘audiophile’, I do appreciate good quality sound and the Sonance speakers push it out well. While the bass was nice and smooth, the addition of a subwoofer to this set-up might provide extra depth, but if you are using them outside, that might be difficult to add in. I didn’t notice and distortion even when we cranked up the volume quite high. While we didn’t receive any complaints from the neighbors, the speakers are LOUD. Our backyard is about 25 yards deep and someone at the back of the yard had no problems hearing the music played on the patio.

Our backyard is about 25 yards deep and someone at the back of the yard had no problems hearing the music played on the patio.
NOT A WIRELESS SYSTEM
As I mentioned above, the kit is devoid of speaker wire. This is an essential part of this system as it’s NOT a wireless system. Even though the description of the product does not spell out ‘Bluetooth’ or ‘Wireless’ system, it does describe the set as “Sonos & Sonance - Outdoor Speaker Streaming Audio Bundle with xPress Audio Keypad”. The ‘streaming’ part is misleading somewhat to anyone who doesn’t pay close enough attention to the rest of the specs of the system. Even though I had done my research, I was surprised to find that speaker wire was required and not included. When you look over the description of the product, it does not state that speaker wire is included with the bundle and the word ‘wired’ is no where to be found. So, at first glance with the product name indicating a streaming system, I could see how someone might think it’s a wireless system. The only wireless part to this system is the WiFi connection from the Sonos Connect: Amp, but even then you could hard wire it to your internet using the provided ethernet cable. Honestly, I was disappointed to find that so much wiring was involved in a system like this.
MISSING WIRING
Another thing I didn’t like about this system is that speaker wire isn’t included. I feel that with any product if a part is essential to its operation, it should be included with the product. Without the speaker wire, this system doesn’t work. In addition to that, it’s an annoyance to bring home this system to find you have to go back to the store for a lot of wiring to run from outside to inside where the amp will be located. You do have the option of setting these up indoors, but since we specifically wanted them for our patio, it was a disappointment to find a part missing from the installation kit.
CONCLUSION
The quality of the pieces of this system is undeniable, I just question the missing speaker wire and product description. We are very happy with the ease of set-up (once we had all the essential parts) and how the system sounds. If you go into this system with the knowledge that you will have time and additional money invested, then you will be happy with it. Audiophiles won’t be disappointed with the quality of sound produced and it’s definitely an upgrade for home entertaining.

This was free to Tech Insiders for a unbiased opin
September 16, 2018
The only problem is, us member of Tech Insiders didnt recieve the free 100' of speaker wire when you purchase this kit at a Best Buy Magnolia store. We had to buy the speaker wire in order to get this setup working.
Not a horrible deal, just a pain as the 100' of speaker wire should be included already in this bundle.

First time using the sonos amp, but I currently own other sonos products. Sound quality is med to high quality. Great price for this duo. Speakers built quality is high and Sonos amp makes install a breeze. All you need is power to the amp, run two speaker wires to the speakers, and mount the speakers. Set it up on the app, and BAM you got awesome sound.

Yes the amp needs to be installed inside only, then youll need to run outdoor rated speaker wire to the speakers, as well as connect the sonos amp to the internet via ethernet cable or wifi

Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Almost a Top Product.
By WesternSky
from Florida
Let me start off by saying that I already own a 60 inch SHARP TV (which is manufactured by Hisense - a Chinese company), and this new 55 inch smart Hisense TV product. I did some side by side comparisons of the actual picture and results were very similar. Color was outstanding on the new smart TV and was equal to my other TV. No surprises here. Colors were bright and vivid right out of the box with no needed adjustments or calibrations. Awesome overall picture.
TV speakers are Harmon Kardon, which is a company which has been around since the 1950's. The speakers are quality and produce some really nice sounds, but if you want that true theatre experience you will still have to invest in a quality sound bar.
I do have a few negatives to fill you in on. First and foremost was the included remote control. Lacking from the control are the sets of numbers, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0, and an accurately labeled home button (home button has a circle on it). You would think that the remote "home" button would have been indicated with a picture of a house, instead of a circle. Furthermore, In order for you to change the station from lets says, channel 10 to channel 65 that's were the remote is super bothersome. I have never seen a remote without numbers, therefore in order to manually input a station change you have to press a button indicated with 123 on it, and then manually input the number of 65 and then wait around 2 to 3 seconds for the channel to change. What an ordeal! Why not have a remote with numbers and make everyones life a little easier.
Another irritation is how slow the TV changes channels with the remote. S L O W and Annoying! I have seen other reviews in which many customers have also commented on this. Surfing a TV should be instantaneous without delays. With this Hisense product channel surfing by manually clicking on the remote is highly irritating especially when the response time is so slow. You will need a lot of patience. Channel changing should be a quick process, and if you're in a hurry to get to "that" channel you'll be disappointed. I have in the past brought this issue up with the company (regarding my Sharp TV) and they have claimed that since the TV is not being used in conjunction with a cable provider, that channel changing will remain sluggish, but I am unable to verify this.
Owners manual and instructions provided at best are sketchy. I feel that consumers should have better information than what is supplied with this TV.
Is this TV for you? Picture quality is superior and super pleasing and the sound is great. Personally, slow channel surfing and a substandard remote are annoyances. I miss that quick channel surfing when I'm looking for that particular show. I do hope that this review has both educated you as well as opened your eyes.

I recieved this tv in exchange for my honest opinion. Setup of this 55" tv was straightforward and easy. Once calibrated using my DVE disc, this tv has a really nice picture, out of the box its too bright and punchy.
I wall mounted this in my bedroom using the same tilting wall mount my 12 yr old 42" Panasonic plasma resided on. I have this hooked up to my OTA antenna in my attic, a Nvidia Shield box, and my Panasonic Bluray player. NOTE, all these sources work perfectly fine on the Panasonic plasma.
The speakers sound good once you adjust the full capability of them in the menu, such as the eq settings. The speakers become more clear, versus the muddy sound from the factory. Nvidia Shield works great wih this tv, the bluray player is hit and miss, 1st use it played a bluray fine, when swithing to Pandora on the bluray player over my network(which this tv and everything connected is Hard Wired to my network) I couldnt get any audio from Pandora. This required me to unplug the tv from power source. 2 other tries, and I couldnt get any output to the tv from the bluray player. I finally gave up on it, after 3 unsuccessful tries, and again unplugging the tv's power and plugging it back in.
Trying to get local OTA channels to work was a big pain on this tv. After numerous tries, I found a helpful setting semi hidden in the tv's menu for Antenna channels only. It was set from the factory for Cable channels only. Local OTA channels looked great, but changing channels with the tv's supplied remote, and or my Logitech Harmony remote became hit n miss with both remotes.
4k material from Vudu looked great, and really popped on this tv.. Sports looked good, but not great. Worst when theres the obvious fast movement. I had all the set enhancement features sisabled as well.
This tv as noted by many other reviewers has many flaws, the system and overall tv is just way to Buggy. From switching inputs, to changing channels, to turning the tv ff and on! This has been a big disapointment to me. Ill more than likely be switching back to my 12 yr old perfectly good working Panasonic tv.
While this tv has alot of upsides, its all tge downs that kill the experience.

It's an amazing case for the first month, but the rubber bumper edges start to detach immediately, I've tried it for both iPhone and samung, but the results are the same. The other negative is that the clear back is continually stained by finger prints. It's an amazing product for the first few weeks, even if you keep it out of pockets and bags it doesn't protect it from the rubber peeling.

Broke after 6 months of light to little use
March 15, 2019
Poorly made after 6 months of light use, the micro usb port will no longer charge the headphones. I tried multiple cable and chargers, nothing works.
Buyer Beware, 229.99 wasted and down the drain.

We’ve had connection issues since day one. Both WIFI and 4G would drop connection. The phone is very sleek otherwise. Check with your carrier before purchase.

By Anonymous
I was quite happy with my previous watch, but extremely excited to see that the Galaxy Watch 3 was offering advanced heart rate sensors, ECG, advanced sleep tracking and eventually SpO2, BPM and max VO2 monitoring. All that's missing is temperature, and, well, blood sugar that no wearable can track currently.
Enough so that I was willing to deal without 2-3 of my favorite WearOS apps that have no Tizen counterpart. I have resisted/ignored Samsung watches in the past because of the lack of apps in the Tizen store. But I thought other features made it worth it to find a way to get by. Except within a few hours I realized I would return this product
The watch is as amazing as advertised, but I was SHOCKED to discover this absolute deal-breaker: the Always-On-Display in dim mode has been limited by Samsung to 15% brightness to compensate for batteries that are too small. (BTW, I understand this to have happened with the onset of Tizen 3.0, and also applies to Facer and, presumably, other premium watchface apps).
Many of the beautiful Watchmaker faces I have and love are simply not bright enough - to the point of barely readable - in dim mode. Completely ruined this watch for me. I'm disgusted. This is something I would have only expected from Apple.

Display brightness

have you turned the brightness up a bit, my new galaxy watch 3 display looks as good or better than other previous Samsung smartwatches I own. I always turn the brightness up a dial or two for better visibility in direct sunlight!
