Apple and Google prove camera software is more important than megapixels
Lots of affordable smartphones offer 48 and even 64MP cameras, but the industry leaders are still using 12 megapixels. What gives?
Enable Android 10 Rules/Routines on any Rooted Pixel Phone
I was able to manually enable rules in my Pixel 3 running Android 10. Not sure if this would work on other Pixel Phones(Ideally it should). You have to be rooted in order for this to work. Don't edit these if you have never edited data files below as you might end up doing something else. Below are the steps:
1. Using any file explorer(which supports navigation in rooted folders), go to /data/data/com.google.android.settings.intelligence/shared_prefs folder.

Motorola Moto E6 Plus: A poor performer that stutters in everyday tasks
The Moto E6 Plus is a relatively compact and affordable smartphone that should have a lot going for it. However, its dismal MediaTek Helio P22 SoC makes general tasks like switching between apps and scrolling through webpages a chore. The Moto E6 Plus represents…
Opinion: screen ratios should stay below 18:9
I have a OnePlus 7T, and as much as I like the performance of the phone, I constantly wonder why anyone needs or would actually want a 20x9 display. This screen layout (the height being more than double it's width) makes one hand use a pain (literally) without much benefit. Plus YouTube videos and many tv shows look atrocious (you get 0.5" of black bars on each side.)
The few times I do enjoy the 20x9 is when watching feature films, but phones are obviously not the go-to method for watching mo...

Sending calls to phone from Chrome browser
Pardon me if this is something old, but I was tracking a package using the web version of Chrome and found something cool. When I right-clicked on the tracking number, I got an option to call the number from my S10+. Granted, it wasn't an actual number, so I did an example Google search for '9999999999' and when I right-clicked on it, I got the option again.
When I clicked on 'Send', in the URL bar on Chrome it said 'Sending call', and I immediately got a notification in my S10+ asking me to t...
