In a world where phone manufacturers all copy eachother to death I find it a little crazy that after 10 Note phones no other company has made a serious phone with a stylus.
LG have done a few, but they've all had midrange processors and the styluses themselves were pretty bad - thick round tips that are barely better than just using a finger.

And that is...
.....Literally it?!
It's not like this is a niche market either, the Note phones always sell like absolute gangbusters and the reviews are full ...

Android 10 killed menu button for legacy apps

Anyone else experience this? Is this the true, final end for the menu button? Is it time to finally move o...
