The Surface Duo is wayyy better than some wankers make it out

TL;DR -- Bought Surface Duo on launch, returned it, bought again 3 weeks ago. Best phone I've ever had despite each and every shortcoming. It's a digital moleskine well integrated with OneNote and I can't go back to smaller / non-stylus input phones. Professionals should be intrigued af imo.

Another anti-competitive way Google is very silently using to "steal" users from third party stores back to the Play Store (and the possible profits related to it) ?

Why i think Android Dessert names should come back.

So today i was scrolling through Reddit and i found a post about why older phones are cooler than newer phones. They had interesting designs, they were more compact than newer phones that are almost just huge pieces of screen. And this post got me thinking about the good old days of Android Lollipop and Marshmallow.
