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.

PSA: Google TV lacks individual profiles for family members

I just received 2 of the new Chromecast devices with Google TV and quickly discovered that, while you can switch profiles within app contexts such as within YouTube TV and YouTube, the overall Google TV experience in no way supports such a thing. I was absolutely floored at the oversight when I realized that the entire experience of this interface and its recommended content becomes completely useless for anyone except whoever installed the device, and that any desire to utilize customized live...

New app for those looking for a good GCam called GCamDownloader

I just ran across this app. It is a little different than the Camera2 API checkers. It can actually recommend an APK. I tested it on my OP 7T Pro and it is quite ok. The app is not mine, just found out about it. I hope this app is allowed here.
