OnePlus 8 Pro Display Green Tint

The display is awesome. However, I had seen reports of a green tint on the display when in low light conditions and the screen at low brightness. I heard that the Galaxy S20 Ultra also had this issue and Samsung came out saying they recognised the problem and were bringing a software update out to solve the issue. Oneplus, only yesterday I believe, also came out and recognised there was an issue and said the next software update will fix it (which is what I assume was a silent fix on this update...

Snapchat New UI 2020

So I was browsing Snapchat like usual and after I sent a snap to a few people, BAM, I'm instantly in a much cleaner 5 tab bottom bar UI. The five tabs were Maps, Chat, Camera, Stories and Explore. All icons. And I thought this will be stick and won't go away. So I closed the app to do some research on the new UI and I found that it was under testing. And I go back to experience more of the new UI and it disappeared like nothing happened. 😐 I really liked the new UI. Many might not. But I really ...

Opinion: Mainstream reviewers (The Verge, MKBHD, etc) need to start putting serious pressure on Android apps / app developers

At this point, no fancy hardware feature, no Android system update, no stock-like ROM or anything you can imagine will ever bring your experience on Android to the next level. We've nearly reached the limit and everyone knows it. Improvements are extremely incremental and largely don't change how you interact with your device on a day-to-day basis.

Your time on the lock screen, the home screen, looking at the notification shade, tweaking a few niche settings to your likings; those are small mom...

How the Apple/Google coronavirus contact tracing system works - ELI5 version

I have read [the specifications](https://www.apple.com/covid19/contacttracing) for this system and below is my simplified explanation of how it works. See [my previous comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/g7iri0/apple_and_google_pledge_to_shut_down_coronavirus/foj2xz9?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x) for a more technical explanation.

I understand the love of innovation nowadays but some are just seeming excessive and it's gotten to the point where we're losing things we like

Why does every (usually mid-range) phone need an inscreen fingerprint sensor, teardrop notch, 3+ camera setup, no headphone jack and more then 90hz display if a) they cost more b) they do less and c) they make the phone harder to use? I mean there is no reason to put the fingerprint sensor on the front other then to be like every other phone, along with the teardrop notch. Some phones are either looking ugly or generic, and cutting costs where it internally matters just to have the 4 camera setu...

Why Are Global Versions Of Chinese Phones Almost Always Delayed?

Recently I've started looking for a replacement for my S8+, and while I'm in no rush, eventually I will have to pick a new device.

First, I've noticed that not only the usual bunch (Apple, Samsung, Huawei), but the bargain brands as well (Xiaomi, Honor, OnePlus, Oppo etc.) have blown the flagship prices absolutely sky high. While flagships have never been budget-friendly, this year they are making gaming PCs look affordable.

With that in mind, I've turned to newer brands, such as Realme, as we...
