Smartphone video capabilities are often ignored. Reviewers should focus more on providing information on the video recording aspect of a smartphone .

As the noscript said, it blows my mind on how smartphone reviewers often neglect the video recording quality and features on smartphones. Video recording are literally the second part of a good camera, especially on smartphones. So why does people often ignore the videos capabilities and features on a smartphone?

I want to see how well the colour are produce on video. I want to see how well the stabilization, OIS & EIS, works. I want to see the video capabilities at night. How well does it fares i...

PSA: Using the Mi Fit app on your Samsung device might degrade your Bluetooth Audio Quality... a lot.

((Sorry for Any grammar mistakes, English is not my first language)

​

Mi Fit is a companion app for your smart wearable. In my case I cannot connect my Mi Band 4 directly to my phone, instead I need to download the app itself and pair it on there. And this is where my problems started

So I just bought an A70. Its a great phone, excellent display, great build, despite some user feedback, the fingerprint sensors works pretty great for me. However upon connecting my Redmi Airdots I noti...

[DISCUSSION] Why are phone manufacturers ditching the headphone jack?

Considering the fact that Samsung's Note 10 won't have a headphone jack, I feel like the time, when no 3.5mm connection will be the norm, is really close.

I'm wondering why are more and more manufacturers making this decision.

I am genuinely interested in what you guys think?...

Oppo Reno 10x Zoom experiences - color me impressed

After much liberation I decided to jump into the unknown and give the Reno 10x zoom a try. Oppo is very unknown in Western Europe, but I knew that they were pulling massive numbers in other regions.

At first I was hesitant to get the phone due to this measure of unfamiliarity. After 48 hours I can easily tell you that getting this phone has been, without a doubt, the best decision of the year thus far.

The phone is very unapologetic with great battery life and a great camera. It is also one of...

Some of you [may have seen my last post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/c8ei4f/dev_i_updated_my_notification_app_unnotification/) regarding how I updated my app Unnotification from being an app that brings back swiped-away notifications to doing that and being an overall notification manager, from keeping a notification history, to backing up that history and viewing snoozed notifications before they're unsnoozed. However, those features came at a price: a monthly subnoscription.

I made an app that should help people with phone addiction to realize how much time they spend with their smarphones providing a lot of data and ways to set limits for most distracting apps.

Digital Wellbeing is only available on small portion of all devices while other similar apps want you to pay to unlock basic features.

Does anyone here feel like the headphone jack thing could be solved by just putting wireless earbuds in the box?

I get that having wireless mobile technology is the future, but if it is, then why are companies still putting wired earbuds in the box with a device that doesn't have a headphone jack?

Imagine this: a dude buys a new Note or whatever and it doesn't have a headphone jack, *but* it does come with wireless earbuds that he can charge by setting them on the back of his phone for a little while.

I'd honestly take that than have to go spend $100+ on new Samsung-branded earbuds. I suppose this will n...

On the Current State of Android

**tl;dr:** Android's advantages over iOS are gone.

Android has always been my choice for a phone OS. Apple's crackdown on jailbreaking and all their right-to-repair BS and their general exploitation of their position as the dominant smartphone manufacturer in the US has always kept me away from them.

However, times have changed and the benefits that once kept me with Android have slowly been taken away.

I'll start first with custom ROMs and rooting. Simply put, it hasn't been that the ability...

Everyone who says Bluetooth is enough, here's another example why it doesn't always work

I try to connect my phone to Bluetooth to play music and this is the message I get

So, it turns out, you can't use Bluetooth while Android Auto is running and my phone didn't have Android Auto
