I think an incident where your tablet would be fully submersible would be super rare. Water resistant yes, but no waterproof.
Its not recommended, but you can find many test like that in youtube, just to proof that a non ip certified phones can deal with (shallow) water dunk.
Phones and tablet (with non removeable battery) should have the same build where the body is glued shut.
 

Because the company who makes the phone decided to

I own a Samsung branded wireless charger. This one: https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mobile-accessories/phones/fast-charging-stand---black-ep-n5100tbegus/
 
It takes roughly 2h 30m for a full charge, and also makes a bit of noise that can be heard when sleeping in silence. It's very convenient, but I rarely use it due to it's noise at night. Also, Samsung branded wireless charges aren't cheap either.
 
As long as you're getting a branded wireless charger (Samsung or brands like Belkin and Spigen), you should be fine. People buy wireless chargers for the convenience, not the speed. Do not buy no-name wireless chargers, or any no-name charger for that matter. No-name chargers can damage the hardware very easily, since they're not designed as well as branded chargers. You don't want that expensive phone to be damaged by a $10 wireless charger and end up paying hundreds to fix it.
 

It's because that's how it always was, and it won't change anytime soon. Fragmentation is a common problem in android. The issue is the customization each manufacturer places on top of the default android software, and also carrier bloatware. This won't change anytime soon. If you really want a android phone with the fastest updates, Pixel is the only phone so far.
 
There's a reason why Android is called "stock android" on pixel devices. Google designs both hardware and software, simultaneously, without adding any other extra customization. It's normal to complain, but you have to admit, Android is a mobile operating system designed to be customized.
 
By the way, its impossible to know what software Note 10 will come in. It's only October 2018, and Note 10 is expected to be released in August 2019. Way too early to determine anything about the Note 10.

Honestly, I think you're right.  It'll limit options and I've been surprised with how much I've enjoyed iOS, but in my specific use-case scenario, I think I really do need it.  

There's no results on regarding the part where you can use the dongle into the car, but I've never heard people do it either, so I highly doubt it will work that way. Also, I never used a dongle, ever. I own a Galaxy S9 currently.
 
No phone has two USB type C ports, but there are dongles that allow you to charge and listen with wired headphones at the same time, like these https://apple.co/2EoHaAd
 
Personally, I think it will be very hard for you to live without a headphone jack. Don't get a phone without a headphone jack, because remembering both the headphones and dongle can be very annoying. If you lose it, its $10.

Your welcome.
Yes, that may be the issue, since car manufactures tend not to implement the best Bluetooth hardware, especially in less-expensive models.

Bluetooth 4.2 is limited compared to Bluetooth 5. When I call using Bluetooth 4.2 headphones using my S9, I feel no difference, but the moment I turn on any graphic intensive task (ex. almost any android game), that's when I hear a slight 0.5 of lag.
 
So far, a wired connection is still superior compared to Bluetooth 4.2. It's been a while since Bluetooth 5 has been released. Although most flagships today come with Bluetooth 5, most headphones do not. Both devices (phone and headphones) need to be Bluetooth 5 compatible to work. If one device is not Bluetooth 5 compatible, both devices will automatically switch to Bluetooth 4.2 or even lower.
 
You can't expecet the same superior connection you get from wired headphones compared to Bluetooth 4.2 headphones. (Bluetooth connection quality can also vary depending on headphones, even if its Bluetooth 4.2)
 
To conclude, a wired connection will always have a better connection than Bluetooth 4.2. But once Bluetooth 5 becomes more mainstream, it might as well revolutionize Bluetooth for good, if the advertised connection speed matches everyday performance.
 
Also, check if your headphones is either Bluetooth 4, 4.1, or 4.2. If it's not 4.2, that might be the issue.

Thanks, but I've already decided to get a SSD instead.

I think I'll wait to see what Samsung has to offer next year and if I'm not impressed by that I'll go for the new iPhone. Thank you everyone for your input it really helped!

Nice!

S7 Edge, and since I didn't use any cases for the first few months and dropped it a couple times, I'm stuck with a permanent pink line on the right side of the screen. The camera also cracked randomly so no more water resistance . Aside from that, it's a great phone. (Thinking of buying a new phone next year anyways)
 
So, if anyone is going to get this phone, don't drop it.

Ok, thanks.

So..Bose SoundSport In-Ear Wireless is OK?

Theater quality sound is a hard thing to define. Especially with headphones. A good suggestion would be something like the HD598CS. It's a good balanced sound across the range, it's closed back, and it can be driven easily enough by a regular headphone jack without needing an amp but can also benefit from an amp if you want to go that route. 

It will get really hot under CSGO, but fair enough if you want to get it  

Yep, I want portability more than power, guess this is the laptop for me. Thanks.

Your best option is to go to the Apple Store, since this is just a forum. (No offense)

First of all, call Apple and see if they'll fix it for free or low cost. If that's not possible, the only other option is dismantling the phone and examining it, which can be very risky. I'd recommend you do this if your experienced or extremely careful. Otherwise, it's better to spend some money to fix it, whether it's at an Apple store or some random phone fixing booth.

So far, this is the cheapest one i found on eBay: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Nexus-5-D820-16Gb-Logic-Board-Motherboard-/152051828534?hash=item2366fec736:g:zG0AAOSwJQdXDUJI

(If your willing to wait for the shipping, it's worth it)
 
Note: You never stated your location. No offense, but Nexus 5 is a smartphone, and nothing more. Don't get carried away with mere objects too much.

I personally wouldn't buy manufactured refurbished. They will usually have limited warranty compared to buying brand new. A used phone would be a better option instead of getting something knowing it was already opened and repaired.

Although Tedster did basically answer your question, I'll just add to his answer. The iPhone 6S does NOT have a microSD card, and recently Android allows microSD cards to act as additional storage, and not just for storing photos and videos. (It will not work on all updated devices though, unless you root which can be extremely risky and voids warranty)
 
The smaller the storage, the slower the processor, because your device need space to run things smoothly. (Ex. Cache participates a huge impact to speed, although it can stack up really fast depending on your usage). If the processors small, your going to require a lot of free space, just to make sure to keep your device running at optimal speed.
 
By the way, 3DS is designed for gaming, so it has to be fast, or nobody will want it. Phones are extremely fast today, and they are designed for gaming, but this only applies to mid-range and high-end phones. Low-end phones are basically just for basic tasks such as texting, calling, and possibly video streaming. Just note that smartphones and 3DS are a completely different category, although they'll probably use similar components.

There's lot of reviews on YouTube, but not from popular channels like Linustechtips which have over 2 million subs. JBL is good company, but you'd need to physically hear it to see if it satisfies your audio needs. (Ex. You may not need the top of the line speaker because of a budget, but you may still want a top of the line speaker on your budget...if your willing to search for it)
 
The reviews on it are 4.7 out of 5.0, which is near excellent, but I'm guessing this speaker wasn't made for the premium consumer since it is cheap. These days, cheap doesn't necessary mean always bad, but just cheaper materials such as plastic is used instead of premium materials such as metal.
 
Basically, watch some reviews, try it out if you can, and then decide.

Nexus 7 is a solid tablet. But it depends on whether you heavily enjoy the large screen over your phone would make it worth it. I'm mean it's all up to you because it depends on how much you prefer a tablet over a phone.

Thanks for your information. I plan to just purchase a Leagoo Alfa 4 to replace this phone
