Why don't Android tablets use ChromeOS?

I own both and have a fair bit of tablets under me, but now I can finally see the stark difference between the two now since I own a chromebook as well. It is clear that Android is not really optimised for larger screen like tablet anymore, that's why my last memorable tablet is a Tab S 10.5 and I do not see any reason to buy one too .

IMO, Android tablet is just an oversized phone with no real benefits in productivity at all. It doesn't provide any improvement from a phone, besides larger scre...

Another Apps List - Tools Category

Here are a few apps that fall in the Tools catagory on the Play Store that I feel are really usefull but don't seem to get noted much.

1. Rotation Control by CrapeMyrtle - You can control screen orientation from notification area easily. If you have a tablet then you want this.
2. Popup Factory 2 by rhyshan - Create shortcuts that open multiple popup windows at the same time that are sized and located where you like them to be.

Cost of Android updates per year (cost of phones per year of security updates, from today)

I've been looking for a phone with long (assured) security updates and decided to make a little table, including some recently released Pixel and Android One phones (3 years of security updates). The price the used price based on a quick ebay UK search, that seemed the fairest to use (and relevant to me).

Pixel times are taken from Google, Android One assumes 3 years updates and Wikipedia release dates

I think an app locking feature should be created on Android

All of the apps that claim to do it aren't secure, easily bypassed, and take up way too many resources. It would be nice to see that become an official feature so I can be sure if someone steals my phone my information and data is secure even if they get it unlocked. What do you guys think?...

OnePlus 7 Pro vs Galaxy S21 Ultra (longish)

I made this switch recently and wanted to share my thoughts for anyone who might be considering it.

My 7 Pro is very close to my perfect phone. The reasons I decided to upgrade were, in decreasing order of importance:

- battery life had recently become much worse. I baby the batteries on phones as much as possible, charging to 87% or less unless I'm going to be away from a charger for a long time, never going below 25%, disabling the FB app and accessing it by browser only, etc. This kept my 5...

Can we talk about Spotify's Android app for a second ?

I feel like spotify still treats android as an undesired chore they simply have to develop for because of android's user base

Android is simply lacking all the polishing that ios
receives, animations look janky stuttering mess it's been a year since Spotify announced their new UI design for IOS but we are still waiting for it to appear on android

And it doesn't even have to be like that?? Facebook for example has excellent apps for all their brands on android, i...

I’m baffled that Samsung does so many things better on Android and it’s really ridiculous! What happens now?

I’ve just seen the Galaxy Tab S7+ in real life and a this person gave me a full demo and I was blown away by what it could do! It has so much features and more, even compared to the iPad. He showed me this Dex mode.

Just a few weeks ago I saw that Samsung will offer longer support for their devices than Google will for the Pixels.

What’s going on in Android land? I had my eyes set on the Pixel 4a or Pixel 5a as a replacement for my iPhone XS, but after I saw his device I’m doubting again. My ...
