WearOS vs Tizen comparison for Android users

I recently bought a TicWatch Pro 3,and quite frankly, this has exceeded expectations and marks a huge change for wearables. I’ve owned several smartwatches with different OS’s, including Samsung and previous WearOS watches, and thought I’d share my experience with how well this works with Android, and why I think this is a game changer.

My previous WearOS watch was a Fossil Sport Gen 4 and my Samsung watch is a Galaxy Watch Active 2. The low RAM and poor CPU made the Fossil almost redundant. It...

Android Jelly Bean was the best stock android layout of all time

I think Android 10's flat design is boring, it doesn't feel "personal", it's just google's new design. Android jelly bean was great, intuitive, with that blue and black palette and those cool widgets. I don't know if it's just me or the new polymer design is worse than the classic one. Now all icons are flat, and the experience overall seems monotone and boring....

Hidden but convenient Android 11 feature.

Android 11 quick access with one tap to alarms, sound and network settings. It's brilliant.

Notification bar is pulled down just press on the clock, sound or network to open it immediately.

"Camera mode" for phones

With the recent announcement of the Pixel 5 and its stricter battery saver, I just remembered of a specific situation where I needed something like this.

Imagine you're on vacation in the wilderness and you're using your phone camera all day to take pictures/videos. I didn't need wifi, amazing resolution, processing speed, ect. I just needed the phone to last the full day with all the power going to the camera app (and a bright screen to see in the sun)

So I'm wondering why no other manufactur...

LG Wing - Any Questions?

The LG Wing was released yesterday in South Korea. This is my first foray into a non-Google phone in near a decade (Galaxy Nexus -> Nexus 5 -> Nexus 6 -> Nexus 5x -> OG Pixel -> Pixel 3 -> Pixel 4).

I've now had it for over 24 hours and would be happy to answer any questions I can.

Living With A Chinese Phone/Flagship Killer in The West

I recently purchased a Vivo IQOO Neo 3 (and accidentally an additional Iqoo 3). After purchasing them, I had soon found out about the Iqoo 5. But it was too late. I couldn't cancel... and the phones were shipped. I had to wait nearly 2-3 months for both phones to arrive. It's a great phone... but there were a lot of things left out of reviews for these Chinese phones that all these reviewers and YouTubers leave out.

Sure, they briefly mention, that you'll most likely need to install Google Serv...

Samsung s10e, Pixel's latest line up....do I dare hope that we'll see more small(compact?) Android phones in the near future?

As the trend with the notch and removal of the headphone jack suggested, many Android device makers followed into the footsteps of you-know-who. Apple's devices have always been far smaller compared to their Android counterparts, I hoped that maybe, just maybe some company will follow this trend too...a decent phone in a compact body.

Then came the s10e, not as small as ye olde phones, but still something unique among the other large bodied phones. But at the time, that seemed a one off.
