Galaxy A51 5G - my review after owning it for about a month

I got this phone about one month ago from Best Buy for $250 unlocked (instead of $500) and it's been pretty great. I was originally going for the regular A51, but it would've also cost $250, so I got the A51 5G instead. I can't use 5G yet, but I have used the rest of the phone. Here is my experience:

**Design:** It looks and feels really nice. The back is plastic, which I actually prefer over glass, mainly because durability. I don't have a case on the phone because I feel more confident with t...

The Pixel 5 may not be perfect, but can we take a moment to appreciate its symmetric bezel design?

I didn't see anyone talking about the bezels on the Pixel 5 and how it doesn't have a forehead/chin, so I thought I'd make a post. Here's a [picture](https://i.imgur.com/oGxwydE.jpg) of the phone (as the promotional material didn't show pictures of it).

​

The biggest thing here is how the bezels are evenly spaced on all sides.

​

It really makes the phone look great, which is not surprising considering humans are naturally drawn to symmetry [^(\[1\])](https://www.bbc.co.uk/bb...

Hey everyone, I made an app that replicates popular iOS widgetsmith widgets, stock iOS widgets and custom iOS widgets as well! Link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ioswidgetsmith.kustom.pack
The app is called Widgetsmith for KWGT

There will be no ads and I will be updating it every week or so.
It is a paid app however, it's just $1 (USD) , so it's cheaper than other iOS widget apps.

So why pick this iOS widget app?

Refresh Rate

Is a 120hz screen a very big deal? I can feel the difference when drawing on a tablet like the ipad pro or tab s7, but on a phone, will it make much of a difference? Im not so sure many apps and games will take advantage of 120hz.

Is the screen refresh rate going to be a deciding factor for you guys? Would you ever consider a high end phone that comes with a 60hz panel, such as the iphone?(disregarding the android v ios debate)...

Ok hear me out - Pixel 5 Pro

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's thinking it and it's painfully obvious for Google not to do this.

With the Pixel 4a, Google has created a mid-range device that does all that's necessary and simple in a phone. A smart buy.

With the Pixel 5, Google created an upper mid-range to flagship device with a little bit of compromise in innovation (Soli radar) and processor

What if Google takes a bite out of Apple's book and offer a

Samsung Internet is the best mobile browser I've used

I recently got a samsung phone, and started using Samsung Internet as it was the default broswer. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good it is. It's much lighter and as fast as chrome. It's got built in ad blocking and It's just as customizable as would be needed.

I recommended it to one of my friends who uses a xiaomi phone and he also found it very good, and uses it as his default browser as well.

TLDR; Samsung Internet is serious competition to chrome on mobile, and works just as we...
