What smartphone did you end 2020 with

I started this year with the Sony Xperia 1, I'm currently using the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and I'll be ending the year with the Sony Xperia 1ii.
What about everyone else...

Who still uses a launcher?

I've used nova launcher for as long as I can remember. With all the improvements to Samsung's OneUI and other manufacturers skins, I was curious who still used a launcher and what it would take for you to go back to the stock skin?...

Beware the latest update to Google Camera - it's being inundated with 1-star reviews on Google Play because it's crashing and taking blurry pictures

While taking pictures of my 1-year old today for the holidays on my Pixel 3 and my wife's Pixel 3a, I noticed a lot of my pictures were coming out blurry and the camera app was getting very laggy.

I loaded the Play Store and looked up the reviews for the current version (8.1.101.345618084) and saw it's completely swarmed with 1-star reviews for the same problems.

Avoid updating if you can, because this is a giant step back for Pixel photography....

Pro-Tip: Open web links from a browser other than in-app Google Chrome when using Google Search Bar widget

Well, if you have the same issue, fear no more. You can make the webpages open on your default browser. Here's what to do:

Tap the "G" button on the search bar to open the Google app > 3 dots on the bo...

Here's a prototype of the OnePlus 9 5G. These images come from an eBay seller/listing that seems to be the same source that gave live images to @PhoneArena recently.

ProTip: In the YouTube app you can swipe up on the video to go full screen.

I don't know if it works on everyone's YouTube app but it's the opposite gesture of swiping down on the video while in full screen to go to portrait mode....
