The earpiece speaker design on the Pixel 5 is amazing.

Yes, it is not the first phone to do this, but they have done it well. I have been using the Pixel 5 for a few days, and the speaker quality is definitely lower quality than the front firing speaker design of its previous iterations, but it is not terrible, and perfectly useable in my opinion. On the plus side, these are the benefits I noticed with the new design:


* Uniform front panel appearance in terms of no hole for earpiece with maximum screen real estate.
* No earpiece hole = no gunk b...

Concerns about the rapidly growing app-sizes?

Is there a reason for this? I recall 64GB being enough until a few years ago. Now I see that fill up incredibly quickly. Even the OS install seems to have grown to android 11 taking almost 13gb on my phone ( I cannot imagine the OS being that large, but it is still ridiculous that 20% of my storage is gone from the get go).
I can see some habitual changes that might have lead to 64gb feeling smaller and smaller. I take a lot more photos on my phone and expect to have them there (instead of off...

Now that we are all using gesture based navigation Android needs an option to hide the status bar for a more immersive experience in apps. Samsung internet app just added this option and it looks fantastic.

Samsung internet browser just [added an option](https://i.imgur.com/uqlcZrL.jpg) to hide the status bar. It reappears when you scroll up. So you can easily check your time and notifications.

Everytime I am on a website now I'm admiring the seamless edge-to-edge experience. It looks fantastic and all the apps that are still showing the status bar look cluttered and out of date. I just turned on an option in Nova launcher to hide the status bar....
