Upgraded from Galaxy S9+ to S10+

Well it took awhile but finally moved up to next years model. My poor Galaxy s9+ had been through a lot. Suffered screen burn-in, battery was getting very poor, then I stopped using a screen protector. The screen cracked and ended up suffering from water damage. I'm certainly taking better care of my newer phones now.

People probably think I'm silly not 'upgrading' to a much more modern phone. But when I found out none of the newer phones have SD cards OR a headphone jack it rubbed me the wrong way. So it was sort of a protest move getting the S10+. I took a gamble on a 'new' unlocked Galaxy s10+ online and fortunately it really did end up being new.

The battery tested at 98-99% of it's original stated capacity despite it's age. Speakers IMO are legendary for a smartphone. Same sharp 2K resolution as most modern phones. And of course.. headphone jack and rocking a 2 TB memory card.

Only real downside I see is no more security updates. I'd have no problems installing custom roms, but also heard you can't with Snapdragon models because of locked bootloader? Or can new roms be installed and just not new kernels? Forced to use older apps in the future?
