The misleading pricing problem.

So I have noticed a problem with smartphone advertising that is becoming worse and a bit more irritating over the last couple years.

That is advertising the devices price after a trade in. Now that wouldn’t be that big of a deal but it’s becoming more and more misleading. The text that says with a trade in is getting smaller and more hidden, and the device they are assuming you will trade to get that advertised price is getting more and more absurd.

The companies are starting to advertise th...

What's the hype about macro cameras?

Why are OEMs replacing the telephoto camera with a macro?. I think the telephoto camera is more useful in a day to day use. I have been looking at new phones and most of them replaced the telephoto camera with a macro. Why are they doing it? Am I missing something?...

Just received my Moto G Power upgraded from a G7.

My previous phone was a Moto G7 Plus and I was getting tired of being at around 15% power with about 8 hours of use. My work day usually last anywhere from 8 to 12 hours so I've had to start bringing a power bank to charge the phone back up before my work day ends. The great thing is the G7 didn't take long to charge, 50% from 15% takes about 20 mins, and that's plenty of battery for the rest of the day. Loved the performance from the G7 as it was a big upgrade from my previous Samsung J7.

Do you think there is a chance that Samsung will start selling exynos processors?

Yesterday, I saw a few posts that compared Android phones to iPhones and some people in the replies to one of them talked about the processor in the iPhone SE and how it allows Apple to keep the device pretty cheap compared to the snapdragon, so it got me thinking:

is there a chance Samsung will offer the exynos to other companies? I know there is something about Samsung stopping to work on the the custom chips and google wanting their own processor but it can make the mobile processors cheaper...

VLC 3.3.0 beta UI/UX feedback

Hello /r/android

We've been redesign a bit the VLC/Android application for the next release.

We've moved to bottom navigation for Android 9/10/11 compatibility, are getting closer to Material guidelines and added a lot more UI tricks and animations to feel more native.

We'd love to hear feedback so that we can improve before the final 3.3.0.
