I'm going to miss my Zenfone 6. A Zenfone 6 appreciation thread

The camera broke on my Zenfone 6 and instead of trying to get it fixed by Asus (replacement flipping camera on a phone 2 generations behind) I ended up buying the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE on Prime Day.

Switching to the Galaxy ecosystem just made me appreciate the Zenfone software/hardware more, and for how much I paid for it ($500)

1. headphone jack
2. Dedicated smart button that completely customizable. Had it so one-press changes audio profiles, long press locks screen orientation, and double...

Feature Idea: Temporary app installs

I've just had to wipe my phone due to the large amount of clutter slowing it down and realised I had a ton of apps I only ever used once. It'd be awesome if the play store gave you an option to automatically uninstall an app after a certain time period for apps you know you only ever want to use once or twice....

Why is Android phasing out 32-bit support when most phones use only 4 GB or less RAM?

It seems to me that 32-bit support is advantageous in that 32-bit programs use up less RAM than 64 bit programs. Most phones use 4 GB or less of RAM so there is not much of an advantage in having 64-bit to access more RAM. Maybe there is something I don't know, but I don't see what the reason is in dropping 32-bit support....

The FreedomPhone "PatriApp Store" is just a rebranded Aurora Store

HAHAHAHAHA. The so-called "uncensorable app store" called "PatriApp Store" on the FreedomPhone is literally just a rebranded Aurora Store (an OOS front-end for the Google Play Store).

The phone itself appears to be an UMIDIGI A9 Pro

Mishall also suspects it's [likely running a LineageOS GSI](https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1415786245452668936)

Edit: This person has a Freedom Phone and it's definitely Lineage OS. They ...

Poco X3 Pro and Other phones with Game Booster also boosts volume of OTT apps.

I noticed that when I started using YouTube while a game boosted by Game Booster was running, sound was quite loud.




Currently I've added YouTube to Game Booster so I can hear sound clearly even in loud environment.




Similarly, Netflix and Prime Video etcetera can be added to Game Booster while watching content without headphones.




This obviates the need of Volume Booster apps. To activate go to Security>Game Booster and add any such apps with Plus sign. Some apps like MX Player c...

Using a Galaxy S3 (and S3 Mini) in 2021

A while back a youtube video about using an S4 in 2021 was posted here and I was disappointed that it barely said anything about using the thing; it was all retrospective. People liked my comment about the S3 so I thought I'd make it a full review. Starting with the S3, and my reason for keeping it this long:

The S3 is the best-designed phone I have ever held. The body and screen are both the perfect size for me and the smooth plastic back not only feels nice, but is so grippy that I feel like ...
