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!

Are UK Android fans aware that's a S20 Snapdragon version available right now? I did some research.

Hey guys,

I've been researching getting a new Android phone and I wanted to go for a phone in the Samsung range.

As a UK citizen, I have obviously stumbled across a lot of Exynos vs Snapdragon comparisons for the S20s but just today, I realised that there is actually a Snapdragon S20 available in the UK and all other regions where you would normally be stuck to the Exynos chip.

The "Fan Edition" 5G. [That's UK Store link.](https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-s20/buy/?modelCode=SM-G7...

Samsung Music App now allows updating of Album Image art natively

As per the patch notes;

[16.2.23.14]
- Support Android 11 (One UI 3)
- Set playlist image or album image


Having tested it and can say it works as intended, allowing you to select from Gallery or Camera. Once a photo is selected or taken, can then be cropped to the square art format.


Very happy that this is now native rather than having to do a work around with caches or 3rd party apps. Was an annoyance of mine for a while so no problems now so figured I'd mention it....
