I had a Sony Xperia 5 II for a day. Here's why I'm sending it back.

TLDR at the bottom.

After a seemingly endless search to find a new phone to replace my Pixel 2 XL with, I thought I finally found my dream phone. It hit literally every single criteria I wanted my new phone to have:

- Acceptable screen size: After having to use an iPhone SE 2020 due to work, I just realised my Pixel 2 XL is a bit too large for me. It's just a lot more convenient to be able to effortlessly reach the top of the screen. (More on that later) Important.
- High refresh rate (at le...

OnePlus pricing went wrong, Pixel on the other hand gets it right

Hear me out. In Europe Pixel 5 is fantastic for the price. Or differently put, for this price the best choice. It costs 613eur, now with preorder you can also get for free Bose headphones, but also without that it is a good price. Other competition is Samsung galaxy s20 fe which is for me way worse because of the plastic body, not stock OS, and overall meant to be midranger. Pixel 5 is flagship for google this year, among their phones of course.

The other competitor is Oneplus. The pricing jus...

PSA: Don't have a scanner at home? Use the Google Drive scanning feature

I discovered this the other day when my scanner stopped working. You can scan multiple pages into a single PDF. The quality of the images are incredibly sharp thanks to the post processing image enhancements, and in some cases, might actually be better quality then my actual scanner. The images are also automatically cropped to only capture the pages you are scanning....

A Working Android Messages Desktop Client

A while ago an unofficial android messaging client was posted here. I began to use it but a few months ago it stopped working. After opening an issue on the Github with no response I decided to fork it and fix it myself.

For those of you who care it is a direct wrapper around the official website using electron. It overrides ...

Motorola Atrix 4G - Looking Back at How Far We've Come!

I found my old Motorola Atrix 4G today, and decided I'd write my thoughts from a 2020 perspective. My current DD is a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, it's my first time back to Android since my Samsung Galaxy Note LTE (SGH-i717)

Back in 2011, the phone was introduced at CES. As a burgeoning Android fan, and an AT&T subscriber, I knew I had to have it! The ability to do whatever I wanted with Android (more on that later!), the availability of all the docks (I eventually purchased the lapdock, HD Mu...

Is the Samsung Galaxy S21 being released in January, and why?

Rumours from old hands in leaks such as Onleaks and IceUniverse have strongly pointed to a January launch of the latest incarnation of Samsung's flagship phones - the Galaxy S21 series.

Whilst it may seem puzzling why they would do this, I have a few theories if these rumours come true.

Having the latest version of Android only on your flagship, then rolling out the update to previous years phones increases the perceived exclusivity of the phone.

With people updating from the S20/S10 or sim...

I wish phone reviewers demoed the NFC readers on phones with passive tags

With COVID-19 both QR codes and NFC tags have become more of thing that I'm seeing at restaurants and retail. My OnePlus 5 is great overall but it has a pretty weak NFC reader when it comes to reading tags. I know phones like the galaxy s20 and pixel 4 have fantastic tag readers but I don't really know how they are on other phones.

So just some food for thought for any reviewers that happen to be perusing this subreddit....
