Micromax announces two good phones, I hope old days come back!

I do really think that if manufacturers provide following things,

- only one rear camera maybe 16/12MP is enough
- less than 6 inch screen
- LED panel screen
- near to stock android

In a price range around 15k INR (~201.30USD from Google) it would be killer to be honest.

I truly appreciate the simplicity that stock android provides but I don't understand why manufacturers don't follow the same simplicity in Hardware....

Google says Pixel 5 screen gap is 'normal part of the design' - 9to5Google

The Nexus 5 was $445.80 USD counting for inflation. Today the Pixel 4a is $499, with 96gb of more RAM, and 4gb of more RAM, as well with a better processor (obviously). Are people wrong when they lament about the Nexus' Price:Performance for the time compared to day?

I used https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ for the 32gb Nexus 5 release price of $399 for 32gb of storage and 2gb of memory. It seems to me that while phones of course have gotten more expensive, I don't think the type of phone the Nexus' was and the market it was targeting has disappeared and the Pixel 4a shows that....

Google Messages beta adds support for Android 11 smooth keyboard animations!

Screen recording: [https://imgur.com/a/1bEZkA4](https://imgur.com/a/1bEZkA4)

I also noticed it in the Google Pay app, the one that used to be Tez.

It's nice to see some apps finally adopting this, and Google apps nonetheless. I hope to see more in the future as it feels and looks pretty nice to use!
