Reasons for upgrading from an older (~2yr old) high-end flagship?

This post is being written following a break in a tradition which has left me feeling rather inquisitive about the reasons why some of us upgrade our phones so often.

I currently own the Note 8. Since the iPhone 4 (my first and only Apple device), I've owned predominantly Samsung's Note devices, from the Note II, all the way to the current Note 8. I did own a Nexus 6P in the middle to try out Google for a while though. Unlike previous years though, where I have upgraded my device as soon as t...

Tip: Hamburger menu swipe in Android 10.

So I just got the android 10 update on my phone and well, it's okay I guess. There's nothing quite game changing... But the thing that I liked and disliked the most is the gesture navigation.

It's just the swipe from the edge for back that fucks with my hamburger menus annoys me a lot.

I looked for it online and people have suggested diagonal swipes and L/J swipes. And they work at times, just not all the time.

So I tried different ways and found one way that works 100% of the time for me....

Do you prefer Android's Notification system over that of iOS or prefer the other way, and why?

We are in 2020 and most of us have used both the major mobile operating systems, Android and iOS at some point of time. Also, technical capabilities of both OS are largely similar. The difference boils down to personal preferences and one of the major difference is in Notification system of both OS.

I always used to like Notification system on Android because it is up there and you cannot miss it. However, lately I have started enjoying Notification system on iPhone. In the age of too many noti...

New “Google Sans Text” font could be a future Roboto replacement

In the Google Design’s Best of 2019 page, Google used a new font called [Google Sans Text](https://twitter.com/Davallree/status/1206994114975191041) (which is seemingly in beta).

This font could be a future replacement for text in the Google Material Theme since Roboto is getting old and that the classic Google Sans is better suited for headers or noscripts.

You can see what it looks like in the [Google Design’s Best of 2019 page](https://design.google/library/google-design-2019/)....

Flagship phones numbered by year

Though not confirmed, Samsung is rumoured to make the right move with naming their 2020 flagship "Galaxy S20". This should be followed by all the OEMs (who do not make incremental update devices) to make marketing effective for a larger percentage of consumer base confused with various naming schemes....

Take aways After switching from Samsung to OnePlus and then back to Samsung.....

1. Other than the camera camera quality, I'm sorry but there is not one single thing a Samsung phone can do better than a OnePlus.
2. Ads in Samsung theme store make me feel like I can't even take pride in using a Samsung Phone, being that they're just now deciding to profit off the features that earned me their loyalty in the first place
3. OnePlus = pure android, Note 10 or S10 = android with an annoying cage around it called OneUi (formerly TouchWiz, changing a name doesn't make your overla...
