S20FE selfie camera compared to an iPhone Xs

I got an S20FE on a promotion recently. I have been on iPhones (7 and Xs) since the 810/808 fiasco (had S3, Note 2, S4, LG G2, G3, G4 before then), I was pretty interested to see how the cameras have evolved since then (G4 camera was my favorite ever). Suffice to say, I was disappointed with the S20FE's 32mp front camera. The iphone Xs camera captures the flesh tone, skin texture, and the hair a lot better than the S20 FE. I understand the S20 is more of a midrange phone, but I expected 2 years'...

If a phone manufacturer were to build your perfect budget/midrange phone, what features would you sacrifice?

With the release of the S20 FE and Pixel 5, everyone's talking about these "budget flagships." Different manufacturers have taken different routes to cutting costs, so it got me thinking about prioritizing what cuts they make.

What are your top features that you would sacrifice for a lower price, and what are your top features you would want to keep?

My features to sacrifice are expensive and hard to repair builds (ex. curved displays), premium materials (like glass), quad HD screen resolutio...

What happened to keyboard inserts in Android 11?

The single time I have seen them used is in a demo for a new version of flutter. Even Android Messages doesn't support.

What's going on? Have any of you guys had a single app support it yet?

Quick reminder for those that forgot, keyboard inserts allowed apps to use a new way to have the system virtual keyboard to pop up in your app. The new way added a smooth animation. You can view the animation [here](https://miro.medium.com/max/2450/0*DFRjYzbqIc5kOoDm)....

Which phone has a great camera "if you know how to use it"?

I dusted off my old LG G4 recently and decided to play with its camera a bit. I am still amazed by how good G4's interface is. [Manual controls are excellent!](https://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/199214-image/lg-g4-manual-camera-mode.jpg) And give you control over pretty much anything you would need. There is no HDR or any unnatural processing on the phone. I love that it lets you pick white balance; I like to make images a bit warmer looking. And what's amazing is that all of these cha...

Why has Google not implemented a backup solution like Titanium Backup or Nandroid?

It seems like it would be a good feature, backing up snapshots of your phone's data and OS on local storage or the cloud.

Maybe the more problematic options could be hidden behind a dev menu......

Split Screen - common use case

I recently came across split screen feature on my Samsung note. ( I know this feature has been out for a while). I found it super useful while driving, keeping Maps and Spotify open at the same time. Just curious, what are some of the common use case for split screen? Do you guys use this for multitasking- like improving personal productivity or more for entertainment - Youtube plus browsing?...
