I miss Material Design as it was when it was released
I know it’s still part of Googles design philosophy but I was just watching the announcement of it again and videos off lollipop and I miss intentional paper like philosophy that seems to have been disappearing from android since. It’s more about fade away and other animations now. Do you guys feel material design has faded away at all? Do you miss the way it was when it was released?...

There's a lot of features people don't know about, myself included, that can make the android experience that much better. So let's all share! And make our androids even more ours!
Please state which OEM its for because some are only OEM specific. For example....

Is anyone else a bit disappointed by Fast Pair?
Yeah, linking your Pixel Buds to your Google account is nice, but I'll admit I'm a bit jealous of Apple's instant device switching. The only non-Android devices that ever even got a glimpse of Fast Pair support were Chromebooks and those never even got more than an accidental activation. After reading article after article about the feature I had hoped it wouldn't become one of Google's half baked features. Things like Android TV, WearOS, and ChromeOS support, as well as instant switching betwee...

My Galaxy Tab S7+ Experience/In-depth Review
I've now had the pleasure of using the tab S7+ for the past 3 days (thanks to a colleague who had an early review unit), and although it's inevitable that I'll be comparing it to my iPad Pro since it's the tab's direct competitor, and the one to beat--this still is an important moment, and turning point for Android tablets as a whole. Other OEMs, take notes.
