I think that the Android settings have become so overbloated with sections and subsections that I think it would be better if during the setup phase of the device that the user has a choice between an easy settings menu or an advanced one which would be what we are using now. as a shop owner there are a lot of people that I talk to that have a lot of questions and I think that some of these people would benefit more if they were to use an easy menu.

A Spectacularly Bad Washington Post Story on Apple and Google’s Exposure Notification Project
“Unbending stance” is a rather harsh denoscription of Apple and Google’s desire not to (a) “undermine people’s privacy” or (b) “drain phone battery life”. This isn’t an “unbending stance”. It’s table stakes for designing a system that people will actually install…

Do you want smartphones to go back to the 16:9 screen aspect ratio? Why?
A few years ago almost all phones were 16:9 then the Mi Mix from Xiaomi showed up (I know it is not the first one with the idea) then bezel-less smartphone screen became a thing but with the bezel-less trend manufacturers didn't stick to 16:9, they moved to 18:9 and now they don't stick to any standard, the market is so fragmented right now and this is a bad thing and looks like that they don't give a shit:(
I think this is a bad thing if you are a developer....

The Green Tint issue of the OnePlus 8 Pro (and S20's) - EXPLAINED
Apple is having lots of problems with color calibration in their prototypes of the new iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max.
And it's due to the 120Hz refresh rate. If they don't fix them, they'll stick with 60Hz.
120Hz is making all these screens from Samsung, OnePlus and Asus, to be red or green when they are under 40% brightness.
You know that Apple doesn't implement a feature until it's 100% working. And Apple cares a lot about color calibration (see the splendid iPhone XR or 11 LCD display)

Somebody put links to sites likes APKPure and APKFollow for downloading apps like Revolut and H&M.

How do you see Android ecosystem changing in a post pandemic world?
As globalization reduces in a post pandemic world and many countries start discouraging import of Chinese products, how do you see Android ecosystem evolving?
I am not talking of iOS because even though Apple's revenues might get hit but it shouldn't affect iOS ecosystem at all. At best, they can move manufacturing to US or anywhere else but I don't see a broader impact.
For Android, it's different. Other than Samsung (and to some degree, Nokia, Pixels etc), most major Android phone companies ...
