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).

For the most part...

We must talk again about the Android update situation

iOS15 will be compatible compatible with 2015 iPhone 6S and 2014 iPad Air 2. For a little bit of context, in the iPhone 6S is older than a Galaxy S7 and a little younger than the Galaxy S6.

The iPad Air is around the same age of a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (yeah, they were not even called Galaxy Tab back then).

This is why Fuchsia is needed now. Google can't pretend to build a successful platform for the future when it provides updates for half the l...

Are android updates so bad (comparison with iOS15)

Hello,

I noticed that a lot of people are comparing iOS updates to Android and they are going to buy iPhone because Android support.

But I wanted to compare all the features presented by Apple to what would happen in the Android world with the same OS and just show that we would get 95% of that even on a 4 years old OS.
