Reviewers often berate Samsung for having ads on their devices. I feel they should also extend that same criticism to Google and Pixel devices for ads in the Discover feed

I posted this to r/GooglePixel earlier and it just got downvoted. Are folk actually okay with this?

These type of ads just started popping up on my Pixel 3 XL.

I'm not even anywhere near London for goodness sake.

The feed seems like such a fundamental part of the interface of the device. They might as well throw ads in the notification tray as well while they're at it.

Why do you think ASOP killed call Recording?

The best answer I can come up with is that they want to eliminate any possibility if being dragged into a lawsuit in cases where someone did not follow applicable wiretapping laws.

...Back when I worked at RadioShack, we had a microphone you could suction cup to the back of a phone to pickup the other party and your device. I sold one to a lady in Texas, with her lawyer present, because her Husband/BF was verbally abusing her over the phone. That was legit use if phone recording in a single-par...

Samsung is taking Android Updates seriously

We kept hearing about how they are committing to 3 major OS updates but 2 days ago I have experienced it first hand and I must say I am very impressed. I have access to 3 recent Galaxy devices in my household.

* S20 FE
* S21+
* S21 Ultra

On February 11th all 3 devices have received the February patch along with a performance/bug fix software update.

I initially checked my device and just asked my friend and his dad to check their phones without expecting that they would have an update ready b...

Other oppinion about samsung ads

I understand the feeling when ads show up when you paid over 1000++

but my view over the samsung ads is this.

Because apple and google earns money by the app store and play store, they can ship

the phone with negative margin. However, all other manufacturers can't do that.

To compete with Apple and to investigate on software they really need to generate

revenue with the software somehow. And thats what I think samsung is doing.

Otherwise we are left with Apple, Google. and that's it....

We need a good video recording on Android for third-party apps like Instagram, Snapchat...etc

Android cameras have evolved a lot, It's a shame that third-party apps can't take advantage of their full potential.
Video recording on an android flagship is like a 2014 iPhone or maybe worse on social media apps. Google has to obligate Big company's devs to use CameraX API o make an alternative because nobody is using it...
