Which Reddit app do you use and why? (2020 edition)

Bringing this back because the last post I saw on this topic was in 2017, which I think could be considered a little outdated.

I switched to Android around the start of the year and I've been loving it; the customization, the features, the fact that it's not made by Apple, etc. One problem though: I can't find a Reddit app that suits me.

European Commission works on plan to force device makers to use replaceable batteries in smartphones sold in EU

Source (Dutch who got it from Dutch financial newspaper who have a leak of the plans): https://tweakers.net/nieuws/163786/europese-commissie-wil-vervangbare-accu-bij-elektronica-afdwingen.html

In the spirit of the circular economy, the European Commission wants mandatory replaceable batteries in electronics such as smartphones sold in the EU. What do you guys think?

Seems pretty positive to me. I think you can still fit water damage protection while also having a replaceable battery. Not havin...

Android has a huge speed limitation when it comes to screen orientation.

This has always been a part if any android release, including stock and variations like one ui from samsung. This issue mostly affects games and video apps.

Any time theres a screen orientation change, an animation must occur before the screen updates. Theres always been a delay before the animation starts, I dont know why, but this has always been part of android since almost the beginning of the os.

For example: in one ui, samsung added their own unique fluid animation when opening an app. T...

I'm so glad I am always updated to the latest Android version every year

So I'm really happy that I am able to always get the latest Android version every year. How you might ask ? Answer custom ROMs.

I have always had the latest Android version stable through one rom and another at around 3-4 months from when the source code hit aosp. It's great because I can actually get excited about all the new features without worrying whether my manufacturer will update my phone or not.
