CameraX needs to be a top priority for Android

This is probably the least talked about, but most important change for Android. You could argue that poor camera optimization in third party apps is easily the largest letdown of the entire OS. Android is over a decade old and a solid solution has yet to materialize. Google eventually realized how poor and outdated Camera2 was becoming and they decided to create the CameraX library. However they are taking their sweet time developing the library and it has been in beta for a few years.

Anyone else who can't decide between gestures and navigation buttons?

I use a Galaxy A50 running Android 11 and I'm pretty sure I change my gesture-buttons settings every single day.


On one hand, I really like gestures because of its fluidity, the full-screen experience, and the way it would help preserve my AMOLED screen from burn in by not havingthe static buttons.


On the other, there are times where I prefer the no-nonsense, fast, and less fidgety feeling of the navigation buttons.


Anyone experiencing the same thing? How did you choose?...

Samsung A32: A Awesome First Phone!

Hi! My name is Liam, and I am thirteen years old. I have bee n saving up money for a while now, with plans of purchasing the iPhone SE. I have had iPad in the past and they were awesome and I had decided that the SE was perfect for my needs.

Eventually though I saw some cheaper Android phones that seemed really nice surface for far better prices- the Oneplus Nord N10, Blu V91, and Samsung A32. It was important that I could by them up at the local bestbuy without ordering them there (because I ...

What are some unconventional things I can use Google Play credit on?

Title seems obvious but let me explain

I won a $100 Google Play gift card from a silly contest and have no idea what to do with it. I don't whale in any mobile games, have already bought a lot of premium app upgrades. I'd love to gift paid apps to my friends and family, but you can only gift books for some reason.

Clicked around randomly on Discord and saw that you could actually purchase Nitro with Google Play credit. Thought that was neat. Not really interested in it but it's made me wonder ...

I think there's a definite chance that this year's Pixel will have an under the display Soli sensor.

Earlier this year documentation was found showing that engineers at Google were trying to get OsloFeedback, the app Google uses to handle radar gestures on Android, working on a Whitechapel powered device which they refered to as "P21".

At the time, this was seized on as confirmatory evidence that the 2021 pixel was goin...
