Since I am on a bit of a kick about enhancing the Android experience with accessories, I’m going to continue it by looking at ways to extend your display.

Sure, it does seem a little weird to have your phone display on a large HDTV, but there are definitely times that such connectivity can come in handy.

To Samsung’s credit, a dongle is included with the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus smartphones. However, I and many others would rather see our dear 3.5mm port back rather than receive a floppy USB-C audio adapter.
Studying is something we all have to do eventually. You need to do it in high school and college at least. There are also a variety of other times where study is necessary, even in your work life.
