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...

Finally figured out how to disable "OK Google" without disabling Google Assistant

FYI I have S10e running Android Pie.

Settings - general management - language and input - on-screen keyboard - manage keyboards - turn off "Google voice typing"...

As talk on this subreddit angles towards the Note 10 launch, missing headphone jacks and saving HTC, LG and Sony...there's one thing that seems to be in phone manufacturers' blindspots...

It seems like many manufacturers are battling to create innovation in the market and ways to differentiate themselves from the pack. They now turn to things like bezelless designs, 3+ cameras on the back etc. but there's one thing which I think could differentiate a phone from the rest of the standard slabs nowadays. That is the physical keyboard. Why the hell have manufactures moved away from that. Just have a look at the Nokia E7 or the HTC Desire Z. Remember these?

Curved screens vs flat screens - what do you prefer?

After using a LG G6 ThinQ for the past year and doing some field research for a new phone over the past few weeks , I really dislike that many of the flagship phones all have adopted the curved screens. It not only doesn't add any thing to the experience ( in my opinion), it makes the phone irritating to hold with the chance for accidental touches, also when watching full screen video, it can be quite annoying.

I was basically toggling between getting a Samsung S10 plus, a P30 pro or One Plus 7...
