What was the worst Android phone you owned?

Personally, the LG G3. It was a hot mess! The phone overheated all the time. The Android Lolipop update made the phone run like crap. Battery life was like 2-3 hrs SOT. Ended up buying a ZeroLemon battery case to make it last the day. Turned off LG phones for me ever since....

Galaxy Note 9 just got updated with wireless DEX support.

Just had an update pop up on my Note 9. Samsung seems to have updated the phone to include wireless DEX. I thought that was one of the big selling points of the Note 20 though?...

Either way, I don't have any TV to test it out with so I can't say how well it works....

Is Samsung the only Android Manufacturer without a single flop that wasn’t made right?

I was on the worst Android phone you ever owned thread and got to thinking that every manufacturer has at least one phone on that list.

However, I think Samsung has really done a great job avoiding that mostly. The only Samsung phone that flopped was the infamous Note 7 with batterygate. However, Samsung made that right and refunded everyone once the issue was discovered. It was a $100 million+ mistake, but they fixed it the right way by taking blame and refunding customers.

Samsung has been...

Spotify now recognizes artist names on text selection and provides a shortcut

This is interesting... This has to be done entirely offline and in-device so Spotify now includes a list of the most popular artists, and everytime you select text including their names, it shows a shortcut to open the artist page on the app....

Heads up, double check your sharing options in Google Photos, the "remove geo location" option from pic shared by link has been removed.

I was just sharing a link to a photo confident that I'd set the setting to remove location from photos shared by link, but Google has removed it. [This](https://img.gadgethacks.com/img/original/17/55/63704949634274/0/637049496342741755.jpg) is what it looked like in Android (source), and from a quick google it was still there a [few months ago](https://backlightblog.com/google-photos-privacy).

I just by accident realized that the photo I shared by link had a location still visible, cause the op...

Galaxy M51 in Canada

I ordered the Galaxy M51 online from the USA and have now used it in Canada for a week on the Bell network. I absolutely love this phone! I would strongly recommend it. I know it is a mid range phone but effectively the A71 but a little thicker due to the massive battery live. I am getting 2 full days of heavy use on the phone so it could definitely last a long time for most people. I ran out of battery late the second day after having a few hours of video calls, casting to my TV, downloading ap...

[From the Android 11 CDD](https://source.android.com/compatibility/11/android-11-cdd.pdf)

device implementations SHOULD support A/B system updates.

Looks like we'll have to wait until Android 12 for mandatory A/B seamless updates on android devices....
