Motorola Brazil appears to be significantly and misleadingly reducing the size of the hole punch in promotional material for the Motorola One Action

Remember when [OnePlus unceremoniously chopped off the bottom bezel from their phone to make it look better in ads](https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/oneplus-6t-disappearing-bezels-3639319)? Well it looks like smartphone companies are not finished with cosmetically altering their phones in these type of instances, and Motorola is the next culprit. [Promotional video material from Motorola Brazil shows a very reasonably sized hole punch cutout in the newly released One Action](https://i.imgur...

Do you purposely not download software updates so your phone does not slowdown? If so, after how many versions do you stop updating?

Literally all Samsungs I've always had shit the bed and age horrible whenever I updated them beyond the first year. Just downgraded my note 4 on marshmallow to kit kat and it feels lightning quick like the day it released and nearly as fast as my Note 9. I don't feel like phones get faster every year rather it's just old phones get slower every year (from software updates) since every flagship every year feels fluid and quick upon release. I've made a rule for myself that I wouldn't update my...

In the current smartphone climate, what phone made you settle down?

By settle down, I mean you'll be using the phone till it breaks.

Mine is Redmi Note 5.

Here's what I love about it:

* Good battery life. It has 4000 mAh battery.
* MIUI. It has so many features that I really love like native app locker, dual apps, second space, dark mode, and etc.
* MicroSD card slot
* I can use GCam with it....

I made a video about the RCS for Android

Hi, since RCS has been rolled out to the UK I've had a bit of time to play around with how this works so I've made a video all about this: [My RCS Video](https://youtu.be/UbHkm8RIXVY)

I start with the history and then go onto how it looks when you enable it. The whole process could be a lot smoother to set up and hopefully Google get this all ironed out so it just shows up for every Android user. Any views, comments, likes are appreciated....

Realistically, how much does extra 20% battery capacity do for the user?

I remember the first few Sony Z-series (Z, Z2, Z3) were pretty hyped up for "better than iPhone" battery life and around that time, the movement to get "long battery life" went mainstream. But it's been 5 years and we haven't seen progress since. Changing to a flagship of that size/weight class (like a Samsung S10) has only netted sidegrades in battery life over the years.

Only way to get even better battery life these days is to get a physically larger phone. But how significant is an extra 20...

Thought: Release of flagships -> every two years?

https://www.cnet.com/news/forget-the-note-10-the-google-pixel-3a-is-2019s-most-important-phone/

I was reading the article above when I realized something: If Samsung and Apple experienced decreasing sales from their expensive flagships, wouldn't it be better for them (and for the rest of the smartphone manufacturers as well) if they would release new flagships only every two years or so? In that way, they could focus on their mid-range offerings (which is the most interesting segment for now)...

The YouTube App is about to get ruined

EDIT: As it turns out, this was actually a strange behaviour exhibited by YouTube when certain accessibility settings are enabled. I have no idea why this happened since I have never touched my accessibility settings. Disabling them fixed the problem. I will leave this post up just in case someone else experiencing the same issue finds it. Sorry for the false alarm, folks!!
