My take on how Android phones can be improved and satisfy more people

Some background information: The majority(like 90-95%) of the people I know and the people around me use iPhones, and I'm the odd one out with a Android Phone(Pixel specifically). I'm starting to get pulled in myself, so here's my take on how Android phones can satisfy more people. I hope this is taken into consideration, so perhaps more people could use and stay on Android.

​

I feel like the most important thing that Android could use is a better ecosystem. The apple ecosystem is what ...

Will Google update Tensor’s TPU yearly?

I ask this because Google shipped the exact same PVC on both the pixel 2 and 3, and it's unknown whether the Pixel 4's Neural Core was an actual upgrade or a mere rebrand. I’m fairly sure Google doesn’t upgrade their rack TPUs on a yearly basis either. If Google plans to enter the SoC space I’m not sure haphazard update schedules will fly considering Apple, Huawei, and Qualcomm upgrade their TPUs yearly, tho tbf it’s not like most consumers are pestering shops about TPUs and matrix processor TOP...

My thoughts on the Protect battery life option

Many people think that the option is dumb cause you are sacrificing 15% of the battery while thats about the game it deteriorates in 2 years. In my opinion I agree buuuut here is the fix. As we know, what deteriorates battery the most is when we leave it charging all night. So the best we could do is turn on that option when we go to sleep and turn it off when we woke up. That way if we charge it during the day at the office, car, or classes we charge it to 100% an use all the battery in the pho...

I hope the upper bezel will come back and the phones would have real, hardware proximity and light sensors again

I didnt know and didn't realize that almost all of the newer "all size screen" phones had virtual proximity sensors and didn't have a light sensor but use the front camera for adaptive light, which is battery consuming and is subpar solution.

I had very bad experience with a new phone and couldn't believe that I didn't hear about this earlier and it seems that nobody cares about this.

The slimmer bezel that would incorporate proximity and light sensors and superior front camera is obviously ...

Very underwhelmed with all of the current Gen offerings

And this is the first time I've ever felt that way. I've used nexus and pixel devices almost exclusively for the last 7-8 years, demoing other devices (I've used probably 40+ different Android devices over the last decade, which was in part due to a cool perk of being a manager at a phone repair shop where we bought phones and I was able to demo them) from Motorola and Samsung and HTC and LG and Apple.

My personal phones that I've actually bought for myself worked through were the Droid 1, Dro...
