I have the Galaxy Buds+ AMA

Bored waiting for my flight so I'll answer questions about it until I leave.

[Photo of the Buds+](https://i.imgur.com/qawkbGX.jpg)

I got it after Unpacked. I also don't have the original Galaxy Buds so I can't compare but I find it a lot better than my Jabra 65t's. I'm using it on my Galaxy Note 10+ and no other non-Samsung devices to test it on.

Some things I noticed:

- It's VERY glossy. Both the buds and the case so it may be prone to scratches.

- Voice recording seems to be a lot bett...

What is your favorite aspect ratio?

Since a couple years back, we've seen a lot of different aspect ratios appear onto the smartphone market. From the traditional 16:9 all the way to Samsung's crazy 21.9:9. So out of these, what are your favorites and why?

Also please, refrain from saying things like "16:9 because theres no notch" because there are phones that aren't 16:9 that don't have notches or punch holes and thats not the main point here...

I have a Poco X2 (Redmi K30) from yesterday. AMA!

I ordered on the first day of sale through Flipkart. This is the 6GB 128GB Atlantis Blue. I bought it to replace my Nokia 7 Plus which had its USB port die out of nowhere and I couldn't charge it anymore.

[DEV] I've just released a beta for typr, a simple note-taking, chat-like app with a minimalist interface, dark and amoled theme, dropbox and google drive syncing.

Here's the Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.buildone.typr

After a lot of work, and ensuring the app was ready for testing with a few friends and redditors, the first beta for Typr is available. The new google policy to new apps delayed the release by 3 days.

**Motivation**

I made Typr only as a side project to understand new concepts around android (like navigation, room, viewmodel pattern and lifecycle) , the idea came from this post: https://www.reddit.com...

The current trend of smartphone prices.

So with the announcement of the s20 line of phones I have really noticed the trend with prices and as a consumer I find it kind of irritating.

Last year Samsung released the s10e. And where it did lack on some features like no in display finger print scanner, and a smaller screen, it had many upsides of packing the same performance and decent batter life into the device at a fairly obtainable price.

749, 899, and 999 seemed like a balance. It gave most consumers looking for a high performance...

Mobile photography: why we won't see, and shouldn't want, true optical zoom lenses on our smartphones

*[I initially started writing this as a reply to another post on this subreddit that was asking about when we would see "optical zoom that won't make phone look weird", but figured it was worth making into its own separate post since I hope this will help folks here gain a better understanding into the constraints and considerations that go into designing cameras for our smartphones. If you're unfamiliar with the concept of focal length, here's a short article that can serve as an introduction h...

Appcoins Scam at Aptoide Market

I recently purchased [Tasker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en) by João Dias from the Google Play Store and was going to buy some of the related plugins, when I saw this message at the [Aptoide Market](https://en.aptoide.com/) app.

So I looked into Appcoins, which seemed to be legit and Aptoide Market had the apps marked with a "Trusted" badge. So i went ahead and bought 2 apps AutoVoice and AutoTools, from Apt...
