What is the best looking smartphone?

Not exclusive to only recent phones, anything all the way back to the dawn of the modern smartphone back in 2007 count. iPhones (and Windows Phones) count as well!

If I had to choose, I'd say a couple of nominees would be the Bright Red Nexus 5 and the Really Blue Pixel 1. They really pop, so to speak....

Anyone remember Keyboard 69? (Formerly known as "Nintype") I just wish there was an optimised, updated version of that keyboard implementation.

That made typing other-worldly and almost game-like. Best keyboard for me hands down, or rather, hands on screen. The WPM you got with a proper set up (this takes half a day) let you type words faster than you can even think them. RIP Keyboard 69, F.K.A Nintype....

Authentication in Android 11

Hey Guys, I thought about authentication in the current Android and I have an idea you might like:

I bet most of you give your phone to friends or your partner quite often. I also bet some of them have a fingerprint/face registered or know your passcode.

There should be the option to have a hierarchy: Your finger can unlock the phone, authenticate payments, sign you into apps, etc. But your fiends finger can only unlock the phone.

This "security clearance" can be assigned to each finger/fac...

Got the WhatsApp Dark Mode

Hi Guys, while texting I got the WhatsApp dark mode on beta. I'm on Android 10 and Google Pixel 2 XL.

This dark theme is not constant and keeps on changing time to time. Took the screenshot for you guys.

Happy New Year.

I know people hate on Samsung software, but these gesture capabilities alone made using my Note 10+ far better with one hand.

Essentially, you have up to 12 gestures you can customize total. 6 on the right and six on the left edge of your screen.

Here's a demonstration of what I'm talking about.

Is it just with me or the current Google emojis (default on stock android and most android phones) are really ugly?
