  1. Rob, can you explain what Samsung Knox will do to a phone? Make some things impossible, or just provide an extra security layer? Downsides?

  2. Samsung has "baked" these applications into the phone for their own profit, and there's no way for the common user to remove them. When Rob suggests one of the few available deGoogled phones, that's the only reliable way--and even then there's collateral damage.

  3. It may be a high wattage fast charger, but the odds are that it is junk. Samsung, in particular, simply has bad charge control--which is one reason their batteries swell up so often. IF you could push more power into phones like that, they'd just be worse fire risks. YouTube doesn't care if you claim to be selling autographed pieces of the true cross, as long as they can sell advertising.
