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 ...

This years flagship Pixels may have under display Soli sensors

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...

My thoughts on the S21 Ultra vs. the Note9

I recently got the chance to buy the S21 Ultra at a discount, so I thought I’d give it a shot to see the differences that 3 years makes, but also for battery life. My Note9 was an “all-day” battery life phone until I decided to start waking up earlier in the morning which extended the length of my days (~7am-~12am). Looking back now, I realized that I needed more reasons than just battery life to upgrade. After about a month of usage, I’ll be switching back to my Note (soon).
