When are we ever going to get another <5" Android device? There's an entire labor market that is frustrated.

I've used Android exclusively since Jellybean, but I'm getting sick of the phones getting larger and larger. Many of us use phones for physical work, and need a device we can keep in a pocket that is rugged and small enough to not flex or crush when we lean on it. With phones above 5.5" this is damn near impossible, unless you put a honking Otterbox/etc on it... which defeats the purpose of a phone that is easily accessible from a pocket. I work in electrical contracting, and the number of times...

Great Andoid Feature: Dial by Name

Prepare to be amazed; a lot of people don't know about this feature:

From the Android phone dial, use the number/letter pad to dial contacts by first or last name (Dan is 326.) The UI brings up contacts in "filtered reverse sticky order" so your most recent used contacts bubble up the list, and then you just select to dial. Touch on the contact list to minimize the dialer and swipe up/down to scroll the list, and touch/select to dial.

So. Very. Convenient.

I have hundreds of contacts, yet ...

"High refresh rate" lifehack

So I thought this was common knowledge to most users but apparently not so here we go.

If you put your phone into developer mode you can change the animation speed.

For me on oneplus 6 it's:
Settings>developer options>drawing>animation scale

It should be three different options. Just make all of them .5 and every animation goes at .5 the original speed, making your phone look and feel a lot faster.

This makes your phone feel a lot faster than it actually is

I hope you guys find this useful...

OnePlus 8 prices in India and comparisons with iPhone SE2 prices

OnePlus 8 pro starts at Rs 54,999 (\~USD 720)


Meanwhile, the $399 iPhone SE2 is starting at $560 in India. Just shows that companies can definitely price products according to purchasing power in the region, which Apple just won't in India, and give the stupid excuse of local taxes....

Discussion: How much do you care about the weight and thickness of your phone? Is it a factor at all in your purchasing decision?

So I recently just went from a OnePlus 7 pro to a Galaxy a70. Yeah I know :(, I dropped the OP7. But the difference in usability is drastic. The a70 is plastic, so 20g lighter. it's also about a mm thinner. Same screen size.

Up until now I didn't realise how much that mattered on bigger phones. I can use this one handed for most things. The OP7 was just way too heavy.

I brought this up because I regularly see screen size discussed but no other dimensions or weight taken into account. I coul...

Android needs an iPhone SE 2020 Equivalent

It's been over a decade since smartphones popped up, and we're finally saturating in terms of meaningful innovation. Apple's iPhone SE strategy is genius. And if Android follows suit it could be a game changer.

I was hoping the Nexus/Pixel Lines would live up to the expectations, but it pales in comparison to the value for money Chinese OEMs offer, and that is what has stopped Android from truly overthrowing Apple as the aspirational choice for mobile phones.

Given how cheap the hardware has c...

Discussion: Best earphones for Android smartphone

With dying jack on Android flagship devices since few years, what is the best earphones which works for you?

I have Oneplus bullet wireless v1 / v2, airpods gen 1 and Sony 1000XM3.
But none of them works good when taking calls outside in windy Netherlands.

My 4-5 year old Sony SBH was best and had very good noise cancellation/isolation for calls. But none of the modern Bluetooth earphones is good.

I guess eventually most phones would be without jacks. So I guess we have to accept the fact an...

Others are stepping up their sensor game, your move, Google!

OnePlus marks one of the latest manufacturers to really up their game in sensor size. With OnePlus 8 Pro, they included [quite a large 1/1.4" sensor](https://s23527.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/oneplus-sensors-745x255.jpg.optimal.jpg) for the main camera.

Huawei started (I'm not going to count Nokia as I'll only include recent players) the trend of larger sensors with their P series and Mate series phones, by including larger 1/1.55" and 1/1.7" sensors in those phones. Soon the industry t...

(Opinion) Why Pixel devices shouldn't be branded as the true Android experience

Hello everyone,


I compared Pixel's Android to stock Android (I used my Android One mobile as a comparison) and I have found the following differences:

- Blue accent color instead of green
- Product Sans instead of Roboto
- True black dark theme instead of dark blue-ish dark theme
- Exclusive: Pixel Launcher
- Exclusive: Live wallpapers
- Exclusive: Fully fledged Always on Display
- Exclusive: Google Camera
- Exclusive: Most up to date Google Assistant
- App exclusives such as SnapChat Camera2...

My take: Software Services will be main driver of smartphone revenue

I believe the new iPhone SE may begin a steady trend in the smartphone industry. As you know, prices of smartphones have skyrocketed, reaching absurd levels, because they pack in the lastest and greatest hardware. At some point though, for a consumer, the latest smartphone is already so powerful that the difference between some of these price points in terms of average user experience becomes unnoticeable. Paying 400$ for a phone like 4a or iPhone SE becomes more rational choice for the average ...
