Portrait mode on phones vs zoom cameras

This race for crazy zoom on phones is pretty ridiculous, don't you think? How often do you use that much zoom on your phones , as compared to taking portraits?

Telephoto lenses are supposed to be used for portraits because they don't distort the face that much. That's why 85mm is preferred by professional photographers. And to achieve that we only need 2X or 3X telephoto lenses.

If you pair a 2x or 3x telephoto lens with a widest aperture you can get and a big sensor, you can get insane portr...

Xiaomi's New Year gift to Mi A3 users: A software update that bricks their phone

Users of Xiaomi's Mi A3 (its last Android One smartphone) recieved an update for Android 11 today — on New Year's eve — that has ended up hard bricking their phones! Those who were fortunate enough (like myself) were able to pause the update after seeing what happened to others who took the bullet and reported their frustration on the MiA3 subreddit!

This isn't the first time Xiaomi has messed up its android software updates. On this very same phone — they once screwed up the fingerprint scanne...

Absurd amount of ads in YouTube app

Just now I did a search in the YouTube app, only to be treated by an entire page full of ads before you see a single search result. This is new to me, what the hell? Are they actively trying to drive people to third party apps?

Why don't more brands use stock Android?

Why does almost every single company feel the need to develop their own skin on top of Google's AOSP releases?

It's been clear for a few years now that phones with stock Android consistently get atleast 1 if not 2 years of updates while most phones with proprietary skins (Samsung's touch wiz, or one ui, MiUI, and others) are almost never updated.

So if it is indeed cheaper to just use stock Android in terms of updates etc, why are companies going out of their way to development their own skin...
