Enable "Force x4 MSAA" in Developer Mode if you have jaggy edges in Android Games.

I noticed with some games like The Sims Mobile or most racing games that they look pretty okay but anti aliasing is almost not there. Since I've enabled this, my games look much better. It will cost a bit more performance but it's not really noticeable.

Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Build Number > tap 7 times on this and you've enabled Developer Mode.

Scroll down till you see "Force x4 MSAA" and turn it on....

PSA: if an app/game don't load properly/get stuck while loading, try putting the network on ipv4

It's been some time I had problems with some games ( battle chess royale, marvel Strike Force ). They get stucked while loading, everytime at the same percentage. I search for a fix online and never found it. I noticed it didn't happened when I was in WiFi or in roaming. I talked with a friend, and he gave me a possible reason: packets have different size in ipv4 or ipv6. So I looked in the APN settings of my network, and effictively, I was in ipv6 while in ipv4 in wifi and roaming. I changed it...

Google intentionally degrades the user experience of their products to retain user data

I've often noticed that Google intentionally degrades the user experience of their apps in their hunger for user data.

Case in point, Google Voice.

1. There's no way to delete multiple messages from the Google voice app , you have to go into each message ([https://imgur.com/a/Hq7iHAX](https://imgur.com/a/Hq7iHAX))
2. When you go into a message thread, they make go to the overflow menu and confirm that you indeed want to delete a message. Yes, Google 'I understand' that the delete option indeed...

Will we ever see larger sensors in phones with a reasonable number of megapixels?

Unfortunately it seems we have entered an era megapixel wars.

While having a large number of megapixels is great for marketing, it results in tiny photosites and hurts low light performance.

Pixel binning, while great in theory, is not efficient enough in real world usage.

If Samsung had instead chose 12mp instead of 108mp for its 1/1.33" sensor, it would get similar image quality to an rx100 cropped down from 20mp to 12mp.


EDIT> Here is an example of the power of large pixels. This is from...

What would Samsung gain from limiting their displays to their own devices?

I know that Samsung have different departments for their phone and display, but theoretically, would you guys think Samsung phones would have had a bigger market share if they didn't sell their displays to other companies? Would they benefit as the only phone maker with said tech on the android market?...

If you keep your phones for 2+ years, don't get an OLED screen.

So this may be an unpopular opinion, but if you are like me and want to keep your phones for many years, get a phone with an IPS screen. The majority of OLED screens will start getting burn in after about 2 years (even if you are conscious about them and take special care of them, which is a pain in the ass). Most phones' warranties end after 2 years so your only option will be to replace it and OLED screens are very expensive, so replacing your phone will make more sense then. An IPS screen is ...
