120 is a little overrated in my opinion

I understand that many things look smoother, but there aren't even that many apps that support it. It seems to consume like 15-20% more battery which is a lot in my opinion, and it makes scrolling look smoother and some games. It also costs much more than 60hz. In the future when most of the apps will support it, it will be nice to have 120hz but for now I think it's not that useful....

Realised how annoying updating is without A/B partition

Recently a member of my family got Samsung Note 10 and had to update it to One UI 2.5 it took 20 minutes for the update to complete and the device was unusable the whole time and the "optimising apps" after the update completes is even more annoying. I have been using nokia 7 plus (android one) which uses A/B partitions and the updates are painless it takes at most 3-4 minutes for the update to complete. Thankfully the devices shipping with android 11 will have to use A/B partitions or else they...

Google needs a spotlight search

Why doesn't google have a search box widget or something on the homescreen that can search through multiple different apps? It has the Google search bar which can search the web and search apps, although it's quite a bit slower than a dedicated app search. Would be better imo if they prioritizes app results first and web results later.

But there's also the matter of them missing things like message search, contact search, email search, file search, etc all in one unified search bar. It seems a...

I used Samsung Dex to see if it could replace my computer. Here are my thoughts after 2 weeks.

Hey guys,

When I first learned about Samsung Dex, I got super excited. Could this really be the future of computing? I asked myself that question. And then the reviews came out saying it’s not worth it and I never bothered to give it a try.

About a month ago, while researching the Note 20 Ultra, I came across the improvements Samsung had made over the years. So, I decided to buy a Note 20 Ultra and give Samsung Dex a shot. After using Samsung Dex over the past couple weeks, here are my thought...
