Was thinking about buying an old 3D capable phone but apparently some companies are still making them!

So I was randomly thinking about 3D photography and how it never took off when phones like the HTC EVO 3D were around. Then I thought to myself "hey those phones are probably cheap enough to justify buying it for the 3D camera alone" and in my search I discovered that there were *still* companies making 3D smartphones up until at least last year.

For instance, this [Rokit 3D phone](https://rokitphones.com/us/phones/iopro3d/) is $14...

Google icon changes so far.

[Imgur link](https://imgur.com/NuMYmss)

Google recently changes its whole app icon to an uniform design, so far every app except google play games got an update.


Google doc and sheet got updates, but didn't change to the blue yellow green icon. Every other icon (including Google Pay recently) changed. Sometime its harder to find, but after using it for 2 weeks or more, these are warming up to me....

Lenovo User Experience killed my tablet: an analysis of Lenovo’s shady doings

Main story:

“Hey there, I’m Bare, and today I wanted to talk about Lenovo again”.
This was going to be how my second video about Lenovo was going to start. But something went really wrong.

You might remember this link from back in the day:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/b78wuj/the_bundled_nonremovable_virus_that_is_called/.
It is about a program called Lenovo User Experience that has some really weird abilities, especially for an event logger, such as asking for root.

Paying for gas using the new Google Pay app is actually awesome

I hate swiping my credit card at gas stations due to the constant issue with potential card skimmers. I've been trying to limit the stations I use to the ones that have tap-to-pay using Google Pay, but those are few and far between in my area.

So yesterday I decided to try out the new gas paying method in the redone Google Pay app. It actually is a great experience and worked really well. It seems to work with ExxonMobile and Shell stations in my area, but I'm sure there are other brands.

Google Pixel 5 speakerphone issues

I updated the phone app earlier this week on a Pixel 5 and the speakerphone quality went to shit. Everyone I talked to via speakerphone said I sounded underwater. I uninstalled the update and cleared the app storage as mentioned in this [post](https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/78480980?hl=en). The speakerphone works great again!

I was able to duplicate and fix the issue again so the problem seems to come from the phone app update....

A Critical Look at Android Email Apps & Clients [Poll][Discussion][Reviews]

Hello friends. I have had a dilemma for a year or so now regarding email clients on Android. They all seem to have issues and sacrifices. So I decided to test out the mainstream ones that I would trust with my email stuff.

Let me start off by acknowledging a couple things:

* I know, I know "Why not just use the Gmail app"? The Gmail app has a couple of key sacrifices I will cover later in my review of it.
* "My email client \[X\] works perfectly!" That's awesome! I want to hear from you, take...
