Xiaomi says on Weibo that they cannot build a small smartphone like the iPhone 12 with Android, because iOS is more efficient in performance and battery consumption than Android.

Discussion: When do you guys replace your phone?

I've for the most part lived in LA and needless to say I was always in the minority in keeping my phones for as long as I do. I currently have an s8 and had an s4 before hand and only replaced it when it became a safety hazard. Over the last year I've been moving about the country and realized I'm not only in the minority in a large city but also in more rural areas many of which aren't necessarily upper income.

For you folk that replace frequently, why?...

I got the Portrait Light update today in Google Photos. Here are my thoughts after I testing it on over a hundred different types of photos.

One of the best things about Google Pixel phones is that you get most, if not all the software features new Pixel phones get. For example, Google rolled out Night Sight to older generations.

Similarly, this year, Google announced a very intriguing feature called Portrait Light in Google Photos with the launch of the Pixel 5. Less than a month after the announcement, the feature is now rolling out to older generations. I got the update today on my Pixel 4 XL.

## What is Portrait Light?

Which topics do you personally think reviewers don't talk much about?

Based on the few big reviewers I constantly watch, I often miss such points as:

* **Taking pics of moving objects.** (My OP7pro is great, but the camera sucks when the object is slightly moving)


* **Showing the different aspects of the various skins.** Pulling the notification bar up and down is personally not much help


* **Haptics** are often ignored


* **Connectivity** which might be the most important topic seem also to be ignored by most reviewers


* What are yours?...
