So much wasted potential

**This is my own opinion so feel free to disagree + This post is just for sharing my opinion nothing more**

I have a Galaxy Note 9 Exynos (I should have chosen the ROG Phone when I had the chance)

Every day every single time I grab my phone I just feel a little bit sad (sometimes angry) because I know for a fact that the hardware this phone has can offer me more, I know this phone and every phone out there have hardware that has the power to do more things and do the things that it's already d...

Depending on how much stock is knocking about:

Sales falloff + Economic downturn = Android Bargains for EMEA consumers?

We might see a mixture of deeper discounts sooner as stock ages or better incentives.

After 10 years of Android, I switched to an iPhone 11 Pro. I switched back after a month. Here's a quick recap of my experience.

I used Android exclusively since the T-Mobile G1. Since then, I always got the latest Android phones. That includes notable phones like the Samsung Galaxy S2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The Note 7. The Motorola Atrix. The Moto X. The Nexus 1, 4, 5, 6. Then finally the Pixel series starting with the 1, 2, 3, and now the 4.

Last month I had an itching to try something new in quarantine, so I switched from my Pixel 4 to an iPhone 11 Pro. There was initially a lot to like (build quality and screen mainly), but...

What features of iOS would you like to see on Android?

I'm a big tech fan so Im always interested in talking about tech. I think IOS and android are great operating systems and its stupid to fight over which OS is better. They serve different customers and continue to push each other.

Tbh i havent owned an Iphone since 2012 but i will say update support. IOS supports phones more than 4 years, Android should be doing that. Id say android should support upto 5 years of OS and security upgrades.

Id love the optimization that IOS has but i think Appl...

Why was full-disk encryption removed/disallowed in Android 10??

According to [this page](https://source.android.com/security/encryption/#full-disk):

> Full-disk encryption is not allowed on new devices running Android 10 and higher. For new devices, use file-based encryption.

Does anybody know why full-disk encryption is no longer "allowed"? Could this have anything to do with legislation to create government backdoors? I'm not sure I buy this sentence on the same page:

> While [full-disk encryption] is great for security, it means that most of the core f...
