Since people were saying it's too wide, I calculated the width and height of the Microsoft Duo. It's one half-inch wider than the Note 5.

I did some pixel measuring. I'm getting a 4:3 screen aspect ratio or at least near enough. What I actually got was 1.36, which would be closer to the academy ratio for 35 mm film, but 4:3 is 1.33. I'm going to assume that's what it actually is since it'd make sense. My hand probably just clipped a little bit too much from one side when I was cropping.

If the diagonal of an individual screen is 5.6 as every publication is reporting, that makes the width 3.4 inches and the height 4.5.

So 3.4:4.5...

My Google Pixel 1 XL Support Experience In India

So, I got my Pixel XL 32 GB in 2016. It is performing amazingly since then no issues whatsoever. I really love Google devices and their software was a Nexus warrior. Owned all Nexus since Nexus S.

Recently, my device battery started depleting a little faster than usual, so I assumed it's the Android Q preview. I ignored it for weeks and then suddenly my phone started turning off at 20% automatically. I knew it has to do something with the hardware right away. But still, I blamed the software an...

Do you feel that Android and iOS are drifting together?

Inspired by [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/dd9evs/what_old_android_feature_do_you_miss_the_most/) post. I've always used Android, I've never had an iOS device. But it seems to me that both are becoming the same.

Android has lost multiple features that made it special. It wasn't always bad, it often was a tradeoff in the name of security. Still lots of unique selling points are gone:

SCAM WARNING: Do not download any apps from PLATDI Studio

They currently have 4 apps listed. One is a voice changer that is actually number one in the top grossing charts for personalization, and even has a paid advertisement when searching for voice changers in the app store. However the big issue here is after installing you find out they want you to activate a free 3 day trial. Then they charge you $200/year. Yes, TWO HUNDRED dollars. Yearly. When other apps do the same things for a one time purchase of less than $10 or even free. Being a subnoscripti...
