Anyone ever discovered loss of image quality after software update on their phone? (possible software obsolescence?)

Hi guys! This question is bugging me for quite a while, and I really want to know if its just my subjective perception!

Background:
I had several phones with cameras over the last 10 years. I am not sure if this is just or my eyes are getting worse: But I think that I can see a difference in image quality, as soon as a software update releases while the next generation is about to be on sale!
This is happening for me on the Samsung S9 atm (seen it on S1, S3, S8, HTC...). The images were brill...

Will other manufacturers use Aluminium backs on their phones

Seeing as the pixel does, I hope we have phones that will follow suit. Glass phones need to disappear imo....

How to get the Pixel 5 in Germany for 450€ and maybe in Ireland, UK, France.

First how to do it and the my opinion:

1. Get Google One with 2 TB, this qualifies you for a 10% cashback after 30 days. (Confirmed by Customer Service)
2. Order a Pixel 5 in the Google Store.
3. As soon as you get it apply for the Bose QC II.
4. Buy a Nest mini or comparable with the credits on Cyber Monday.
5. Sell the Bose QC II and your other Google Product. Together 170-200€
6. Have a Pixel 5 for 450€.

I know it is additional work and it is not worth it for everybody, but if you like a de...

Galaxy S20 FE - Day 1 Impressions

Just thought I'd share my feelings on the new Galaxy phone from the stand point of a casual tech user, so this won't be very in depth.

With a growing economic crisis in the world, we're seeing a larger array of phones with a more budget-friendly appeal. As someone experiencing a bit of financial hardship, the S20 FE seemed like the perfect choice for $599. A mid-range phone is so appealing since I want it to last at least 2 years without it being too hard to pay off.

Coming from the Pixel 3a...

Managing files in the "Android/data" folder on Android 11 (without root or USB)

As you may be aware, Android 11 made some big changes to the Scoped Storage functionality that Google began to implement with Android 10. One of the biggest user-facing changes is removing access to the "Android/data" folder, blocking all apps (including file managers) from accessing any data within it.

This is unfortunate, as many apps, including emulators as well as source ports of PC games, require users to place files inside the "Android/data" folder in order for these apps to run. Having...

Interesting thing to keep in mind when talking about phone camera hardware - I don't give extensive credibility to DXOMARK but 5 of top 5 phones there are all large sensors with 48-50 megapixels (and software that is still nowhere as good as GCam)

Mi 10 Ultra

P40 Pro

Vivo X50 Pro+ (using Samsung GN1 sensor that Samsung still is not using)

Honor 30 Pro+

Oppo Find X2 Pro...

I've owned every Pixel phone. Here are my thoughts on the Pixel 5.

Hey guys,

Over the past years, I've had the privilege to own every Google Pixel phone. So, I was very excited to learn about the Pixel 5 today. After watching the announcement, doing some research, and reflecting on my experience with my Pixel 4 XL, I'd like to share some thoughts. I'm not commenting on the software as every feature announced today will be coming to older generations (I think).

[**I also made a video on the Pixel 5**](https://youtu.be/3o3u-Hpj6Xo) **(no ads or monetization).**...

Why do you opt for a privacy browser when you use Android

So over the last few weeks I’ve been trying different browsers, from FF, Chrome, Bromite, Brave so on.
However I’ve started to think, if you use Google products, for example I have Google Nest WiFi at home, an Android phone and sometimes I use my chrome book, what is the actual point of switching to a ”Private” browser?

People say its to help prevent tracking which I get completely, but the OS collects data regardless.

I’m just wondering what peoples take on this is? Is there any point using...
