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?...

As camera bumps grow bigger, is it time to revisit the balanced design of the Nexus 6P?

https://i.imgur.com/v4Fv4Aj.jpg

The huge camera bumps on modern phones, the Samsung S20 line especially, seem so cumbersome.

I'd like to see manufacturers looking again at the full width camera bump design of the Nexus 6P. It gives space for plenty of cameras and other kit, while allowing you to use your phone flat on a table without rocking....

What are the benefits of MagSafe for a mobile device and how can Android phones benefit from them?

With the release of the new iPhones, a lot people have talked about the addition of MagSafe. As a Layman, can someone please explain how it is beneficial to mobile phones in general?

From my understanding, it is a magnetic wireless charger; and the use case given is that it lets people use their phone while it wirelessly charges. Maybe I am missing something but that's what a regular wired charger does right? Let's you use while charging through a cable attached to the phone.

It just seems li...

Hear me out in why the Asus zenfone 7/7pro is the 2020 masterpiece

There are several smartphones releasing every month and it doesn't matter if it's a midrange or a flagship, there is always a degree of compromise that you are forced to accept except for this device which is an absolute killer.

What's unique about this device is that it combines AMOLED display with the side mounted fingerprint sensor which makes unlocking the phone a one button process on top of a big 5000mah battery with decent fast charging.

The camera mechanism is nothing less of innovati...
