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...

/r/android reviews: HMD Nokia line

Device reviews are everywhere these days. From big name technology websites to lesser known blogs, and to the rising stars on YouTube. You can find hours upon hours of review content on most any well-known device out there.

For those of you who like to hear about devices from actual users, though, it's hard to find a good place with reviews that aren't scattered all over the place. Plus, many reviews only showcase the device while it's being tested and might not reflect real-world usage over a ...

How much do you care about haptic feedback?

Personally, a good vibration motor is very important to me, but I feel like I might be in the minority. When I used an LG v10, the haptics were pretty good, but when I upgraded to a OnePlus 5t, the haptics were so ridiculously bad that I disable touch feedback in the device. After recently getting a OnePlus 7 pro, I'd say that the great haptic motor is my second favorite feature, right below the screen.

I've heard Jerryrigeverything mention that he really doesn't care about vibration motors whi...

Gboard Theming Tips and Tricks

After upgrading to Android 10 on my Pixel 3a XL and having nearly all my apps follow the System Light or Dark Theme automatically (with the exception of Facebook Messenger and Gboard), I started wondering why Google's own keyboard didn't do it.

I came across this article: https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/05/09/gboard-automatically-adjusts-its-looks-based-on-your-android-color-accents-and-dark-mode-settings/ on themes and colors, but had never been able to make it work.

Omitted feature in recent phones- LED notification. Why nobody cares about it anymore?

LEt's start a discussion. As an owner of Samsung S7 Edge I am slowly thinking about an upgrade, but there was no interesting phone in the whole 2019 for me. I care about everything to fill my needs in a smartphone, but I can turn a blind eye on some drawbacks. This strategy worked until 2019 came.
Right now we have terribly pricy phones, software upgrade situation is not getting better, battery life can be meh or just okay and other problems. Of course some things are better than before: almost ...

Android 11 Features

I know it seems like Android 10 is just being installed on some devices, but i was curious what features you guys are looking for in Android 11? For me, I would love a Android equivalent to AirDrop and more customization for gestures, specifically a way to undo a back gesture (which I'm finding myself needing sometimes). Would love to hear your opinions :)....
