As Samsung is removing the headphone jack from its devices, on line at the time, it might be time for them to fix a Bluetooth bug that has been plaguing its Galaxy series for years...

The use case is easy : have a smartwatch/band always connected to your Galaxy phone through Bluetooth and no matter how good your Bluetooth headphones are, they will most likely sound like crap.

I've had it on my S8, S8+, Note 8 and Note 9 with my Moto 360 Sport, MiBand and now Huawei Watch 2 but I've read people reporting it as far as the Galaxy S6. Had it on my Plantronics Beats Pro 2, Sennheiser HD4.50 and now Sony WH-1000M3.

My impressions of the Moto G7 Plus

I have used it for 24 hours. I wanted to see how Moto's best budget phone performed. So far, I have to say that the phone is really good and has very few flaws.

As expected from Motorola, you get a stock Android experience, with a few Moto gestures and other such gestures added on top. Another thing I liked is that in the multitasking screen, they removed the big, ugly Google search bar, which I found incredibly obnoxious on my LG G7 One.

Every task that the phone performs is fast and smooth. ...

Thoughts on compact phones

There are quite a few posts mourning small phones which seem to be extinct (the last one to hit mass market is 1.5 years old), and yet there are lots of misunderstandings.

First of all, contrary to popular belief, people with small hands don't usually like small phones. Some do, but they are an exception. In fact, they may have been the main drive pushing small phones to extinction. Just look at the biggest markets, China (average height 164 cm) and India (average height 160 cm), there are virt...
