Chrome's native color picker is Android 4 vintage

I subscribe to /r/Windows10 and people regularly complain about the [ODBC database dialog from Windows 3.1](http://i.imgur.com/hUDWtUN.jpg) being in Windows 10, but I think I found a similar one on Android.

While not as old, Chrome's native input\[type=color\] picker looks similarly terrible.

I have an internal version of Google News apparently?

Opened up the app and was greeted to [this notification](https://i.imgur.com/De6vmTr.png). Has anyone else gotten this?

EDIT:

I've noticed the Google News icon has a [paw print on the bottom](https://i.imgur.com/85cNO2o.png) (maybe it's a "dogfood" version?)

Only notable difference I see is in the settings, there's a "Labs" setting with a bunch of features. Will post screenshot in a little bit. [Labs setting at bottom of Settings](https://i.imgur.com/EaHZMD2.png)

Which android apps are the smoothest and have the best animations?

Which apps do you think have to best animations on android? Apps that feel 'modern' and 'smooth'?

* 'Google Go' for example feels light years ahead of the normal 'Google' app, in terms of animations and 'feel'. Not as functional, but much more 'up to date', if that makes sense. Maybe it's made with flutter or something? (I hear that makes developing apps easier to apply animations and smoothness, but idk)...

Folding phones and their future in the market

I do not believe folding phones will replace phones, but, it will replace a part of the market.

The Samsung Z Fold 2 is a good example of what I mean, not the Samsung Z Flip.

I think foldable phones will bridge the gap between phone and mini tablet and possibly replace devices like 9" tablets and smaller.

The iPad Mini would most likely be harmed by foldable devices, especially if Apple creates their own fold.

The fold is going to be a 2 in 1 situation, however, what happens with software no...
