WTH with the analog clock?

I'm convinced the people who program Android have never seen a real non-digital clock. The Android "analog clock" is outright wrong in the way it works.

If it's 11:59 and you look at a real analog clock, the minute hand is almost straight up, and so is the hour hand. On the Android clock, so long as the hour is 11, the hour hand points squarely at the 11... which to anyone who has actually used an analog clock before reads (in this example) 10:59. It's an hour off.

SMH can't program a cloc...

Xiaomi India promise three years of Android updates and four years of Security updates for the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE

Xiaomi have promised three years of Android updates and four years of security updates for the 11 Lite 5G NE in India which was something they didn't refer to during the global launch. There's a good chance the policy will be extended globally as it doesn't make sense to increase the update cycle for one region but we'll have to wait and see....

Gboard on iOS has way more customization options for themes than on Android 11 and it's dumb.

I got an old iPhone 6 for testing purposes and installed Gboard on it.

You can customize the theme to your heart's content. You can change the color of the keys, the letters, even the swipe trail. You can change the thickness too. And you can make it "sparkle" so little G logos fly around when you swipe.

On Android...you can change the background of color of the entire keyboard. And...that's it.

What's with Google and their lack of feature parity for their own OS....

What's the deal with midrangers in North America?

There have been some relatively new SoCs that have been released this past year being used exclusively for midranger phones but they’re such a significant step up from the midranger SoCs before them that they’re almost equivalent to flagship SoCs (largely because they’re based on yesteryear flagships SoC). These are:

Snapdragon 870 ([Performance vs Snapdragon 865+](https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/qualcomm-snapdragon-870-vs-qualcomm-snapdragon-865-plus))

How do you big-phone folks fit them in your pockets?

My Pixel 2XL is on its last leg. I have been looking to upgrade for some time, but haven't found anything that suits. I'm looking at either a Pixel 5A, 6, or 6 Pro. All of those phones are quite a bit larger than my 2XL (6" vs 6.34, 6.4 or 6.71). I am an older dude, and work in a business casual environment (pants = khakis). Usually, the pockets are big enough, however as trends change, it seems like pockets are getting smaller and away from work, jeans are definitely almost impossible to ...

We need to pressure manufacturers to stop locking devices, rendering them obsolete when they decide to stop updating them. We need something that Linux is to PC.

Beside profit, what is stopping them to unlock devices from day 0 and allow us to extend the life of our devices? Is there some technical reason?...
