AnandTech Year In Review 2020: Flagship Mobile
We’re a few days away from completing the 2020 calendar year, and it’s been a quite a hectic year for everybody. In times of troubles, the smartphone industry had been under a two-prong attack from both an economic stand-point as well as the from a product…
What is a flagship anymore?
The de-facto standard of a flagship has always been a top of the line SoC because the performance they offer is needed for the high-end experience; I’m guessing it mostly to do with smoothness and image processing.
Aside from SoC, a flagship experience also includes premium materials, and high build quality.
Given that modern flagships with top of the line SoC are going for insane prices, most are considering midrange phones for the first time.

1080p displays are objectively better than 1440p for performance & battery life, so why are we acting like any phone switching from 1440p to 1080p is a "downgrade" in terms of user experience?

Samsung makes a first-party app to increase the number of volume steps so the jumps are smaller. Had been annoying me, so I thought I'd post in case anyone else was wayyy behind like me
Nice that it's a Samsung app, and I am clearly not a dev for it for the same reason. I was always using the slider because one step was too quiet and the next one was too loud. This app is called SoundAssistant and is on Galaxy and Google stores. Opening it takes you to settings, and adjustments also made my Galaxy Watch volume increments smaller.
Anyway, this had been annoying me forever, so i know it's probaby not what most people are looking for on this sub, but hope it helps someone...
