REVIEWS: Best Document Scanner Apps for Android (2020)

I have tried all top apps. And I took a good image with my phone camera (Huawei P30, one of the best cameras you can get), with uniform lightning, clean background, and then imported the same image into all apps. I then used the app controls to get the best results that each app could offer.

Here's the real reason the Note 10 Lite matters. And it isn't the headphone jack.

Fossil Sport watch on sale for $99

Saw this today. Original price is $275 although it's been on sale for $150 for a while I think. I hear the battery life isn't all that great but, just thought I'd share. I think best buy is selling them for the same price

Best Phones of 2019

NOTE: I originally posted this on r/PickAnAndroidForMe, forgot to post it here and made a few edits.

I know it's 2020, but I just wanted to sum up the best phones of last year. Also, sorry if I don't do a great job of addressing Chinese manufacturers like Xiamoi because I'm from the States.

The Best

Android companies planned on switching to 21:9 years ago?

They started with jumping to 18:9 because a jump from 16:9 to 21:9 would be huge, so they jumped to 18:9 and started gradually increasing aspect ratio year by year, their goal is to reach 21:9, I have seen a lot of criticism of 21:9 and I do agree with all of it, I prefer 18:9, this year will be the year of 20:9 and in 2021 most phones will be in 21:9.
