US carriers halt Samsung Note 7 sales and replacements

I absolutely love the deep blacks and the fact that when I have the phone on low brightness using a dark theme it barely produces any ambient light

Yup - completely agree. When I got my Tab S, I knew that the exynos 5420 was grossly inferior to the a8x in the Air 2, but I wanted my tablet for watching videos in bed at night.

I was right; the 5420 is execrable and makes web browsing very painful compared to the Air 2 (my kids have Air 2's). But the display is so much better than the Air 2's in every way you'd care to mention or measure. It's unbeatable for its intended purpose.

<sigh>

Bedtime browsing is indeed a huge advantage. I can finally browse HN in bed without pissing off the person trying to sleep next to me. Now Google just needs to get serious about system wide dark themes, as well as dark themes for stock apps, and I'll be happy.

I'm sure with the large screen on a tablet this is even more of a benefit.

I found the app Twilight (similar to f.lux on the desktop) to be very useful. And it doesn't require root.
