I wish smartwatches for Android devices could have in future the life-saving HR ECG features that Apple watches have

I just read about how an Apple watch owner got saved by the heart alerts his watch gave him and I wonder how many people could have been saved thanks to this, that's why I think smartwatches for Android should step up their heart rate sensors, adding ECG as standard or something...

Does megapixel really matter?

I noticed that mostly of China made smartphones has this absurd amount of megapixels (42, and up megapixels).

Though afaik mega pixel/resoultion only matters if:

If you crop your images a lot/crop large portions.

Print the images


But if you look at it. Do people actually crop that much or even prints the images captured by their phones? Plus higher mp counts means higher storage consumption per image since it has to save a lot of information from the image.

Some people keeps saying that h...

The LG G8x can now do what everyone said they wanted it to do - DS emulation on both screens!

[Pic. ](https://i.imgur.com/oXow9MN.jpg)

I was able to get it to work by downloading an app that can force any app into Wide Mode.

I have always owned the biggest version of the Samsung galaxy phones. My recent phone is S10+. I bought it the day it came out and I had loved it until just couple of months ago.

I have big hands but I was beginning to get tired of using this phone with one hand. And I feel like there is less privacy while on the phone out in public. I've only had these thoughts in the last few months. Then I started looking at smaller phones like the S10e and s10. I went to bestbuy to actually hold these phone...

I really enjoy pop-up cameras

I recently bought a Mi 9t pro to replace my pixel 2xl. I did check out other phones with a hole-punch screen but to me it seems like a step backwards (until we get under-screen cameras that are as good as current ones anyway). Here's why:

Privacy. Android has often told me so and so app recently used my camera. Even when that app isnt currently open and hasnt been open in the background. Sure they could still use the rear camera, but to me that's less of a privacy issue.

Also, the general des...
