I'm considering getting a newer Samsung Galaxy phone, my S5 is starting to lose photo files. I had them backed up on PC already, so I didn't actually lose anything, but this shouldn't be happening. It's been a good phone for 4-1/2 years. I'm considering an S8 or S9, either of which can run the current 9.0 Pie OS. I won't get an S10, they cost a lot more for no significant improvements and that does not make good financial sense. Even the S9 doesn't offer much over the S8.
Does anyone have one, and how well do they handle the FAIL known as Phone-as-a-key? My Android 6.0.1 works with it erratically. It might work once or ten times in a row, then I stop into a convenience store, come out, and it doesn't work, so I have to stand there like an idiot getting the phone out with whichever hand can reach it, which is rarely convenient, then get the Tesla app open on the phone so I can open the damn door!
I don't really want the key fob because:
1. It costs $150, and Tesla should be giving it to me for FREE to make up for the Phone-as-a-key failure!
2. Even if I had the fob, I'd have to dig into my pocket and click it, and that's just too much effort in this century.
And I won't own any Apple product, so no iPhones can be considered.
