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.

# Hardware:

Holding it, the S7+ is very thin/light, and very enjoyable to carry around. The build quality is extremely solid resembling...

PSA: Pixels have the only reliable cameras for kids or pets.

Phone reviewers don't seem to mention this, but every single phone on the market is extremely unreliable for taking photos of kids or pets with the exception of pixels.

This is for two reasons:

First: Pixels don't have shutter lag because they are already recording photos before you press the shutter. Shutter lag is defined as the delay between pressing the shutter and capture.

Second: Pixels capture multiple images at higher shutter speeds, breaks then into tiles, and then aligns them. This ...

Samsung shouldn'tbe applauded for extending software updates, that should be a norm regardless everywhere.

Pixels have gotten 3 years of software updates for a while. iPhones get around 5 (but everyone knows that). Samsung is only catching up. It's nothing to celebrate about until they can provide 5 years like Apple, and promise the updates would be more timely....

As a user or as the developer, how do you prefer to pay/be paid: one-time payment, Play Pass, free w/ads or subnoscription?

Obviously most users impulsively will prefer one-time (or free w/ads) the most and subs the least, and developers the opposite, but let's be honest, a couple bucks one-time payment is not long-term sustainable. And especially on Android, we as users have been spoiled not to accept "new version, new payment" like we do in other platforms.

I have a few apps that I'm happy to pay a direct subnoscription/Patreon for (AutoApps & Tasker <3). But I was wondering about other, non-essential but still usef...

There's Plenty of Room at the Top

There is a startling lack of super high spec android phones as the honorary successor to the Note 8/Note 9 line. Samsung has really dropped the ball for us when they streamlined their lines for ops purposes; every handset they release is increasingly generic. Even the Z coming soon doesn't have wow-me specs or an Spen which of all devices come the fuck on that one would ideally suit it.

Samsung do what has worked for you: have the S line be the tried and true iPhone combatant, and go hard on r...
