I'm MrMobile, noted fan of folding phones, ancient phones, and most Androids in between! I make tech videos on YouTube. AMA!

Hey r/Android! I lurk here often but the last time I did an AMA was like [five years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3bgd3r/ama_michael_fisher_of_pocketnow/). (So, for what seems like the fifth time this week, I get to say: "damn, I'm getting old, eh?")

Since 2015, I've teamed up with Mobile Nations (now Future plc) to launch the [MrMobile YouTube channel](https://youtube.com/themrmobile), which recently crossed the 1M subscriber mark. More importantly, mobile tech has shaken out...

I miss wide phones

That is all. As someone with big hands, I love massive phones and I'm enjoying the trend of phone screens getting larger and larger, with 6.4+ being a widespread thing now; would've been unimaginable just a couple years ago.

That being said, I'm getting tired of these skinny phones, I miss my 16:9 Nexus 6, with how it managed to have good real state while not being too tall and easy to reach with my fingers

I get I'm a strange use case, but there are NONE of these on the market anymore: the la...

Let's talk about the Android Share Menu/Interface

So as most of you know, Google has been struggling with the sharing interface for many versions now. One of their major focuses in Android Q/10 was improving the speed at which this interface triggered (primarily due to poor caching behaviours), and further tweaked for Android 11

However, while the new menu/interface loads much more quickly, the inconsistencies of what options lie therein seem even more confusing..

Sharing URLs or products from Chrome suggest contacts in Messages (Default Tex...

[PSA] - Free Stadia Bundle "Account Not Eligible" Fix

I've shared this as a comment in a few associated threads in other subs, but hope it's ok to post here for visibility.

In Canada, I'm on a Family Plan and the link informed me my account wasn't eligible.

I contacted support using [this](https://support.google.com/store/gethelp) link and they told me I needed to be signed up as a Stadia Pro subscriber, so I did so using the 1mo trial. I then waited patiently on chat hold for about 1h and spoke with the Stadia team, who confirmed my Stadia memb...

What version naming scheme should Google adopt for Android versions after Android Z?

Should they use a numerical naming scheme (like iOS) for newer versions like Android 27 after Android Z, or codenamed versions like Windows, or random words and phrases like OSX, or something entirely different?...
