Used a pixel 3a xl for a month... and its really great!

Needed a second phone for international travel purposes (Sure would be nice if US phones had dual sim...) and grabbed a open box 3a xl for about $280 at best buy... and from my month of using it, its way better than I expected. Haven't had a 'stock' android phone since the 2 xl, and this experience is definitely better than that in some ways, so I'll just list some of my thoughts.

* Build is solid. Relatively light weight compare to most phone's I've had recently being near 200g. Definitely has...

Snapdrop is a Free, Open Source, Cross Platform, Browser Based AirDrop Like File Sharing App that Works on Android

I see many people here want an AirDrop like app for Android. So I am sharing a relatively unknown web app called "Snapdrop".

You have to open https://snapdrop.net/ url in a Chrome or Firefox browser on any two devices to share files locally between them. Files are not uploaded to the cloud.

Repo: https://github.com/RobinLinus/snapdrop

I am not affiliated with Snapdrop in any way....

How does Android not have the option to not connect to a specific Wi-Fi network automatically?

Its 2020 and I still cannot set a specific Wi-Fi network to not connect automatically [**EDIT: On stock Android**]. There is at least one access point or two that I occasionally use that does require a password but the signal strength is often not too strong and if I'm passing by that general area it tries to connect and I lose any internet access because of the fact that the connection is so weak.

This is a basic function that's been windows for years and I'm honestly shocked that Android does...

Oppo Realme X50 5G: I would love to see more phones with side-mounted fingerprint sensors

Just seems more convenient in my opinion, at least for now. Saw this chinese phone for $420 and was wondering why is everyone going all-in with under-display fingerprint scanners that might not be fully optimized.

Also this phone is great in general, especially for the price. You get 120hz, Snapdragon 765, 8GB of RAM and 5G connectivity...
