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))
Snapdragon 860 (Performance vs...

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?...

Feedly app is accessing browser data without permissions

After some initial suspicions, I decided to do a few tests using several different devices, different browsers and different privacy settings on those browsers. Even on devices that had the most restrictive settings (Firefox's strict browsing tracking on, no history saved, clear cookies and browsing history on exit) Feedly was accessing browser searches to populate the news feed and ads with content related to those searches. Test it out for yourself. It's not a coincidence that you searched for...

If you're looking for an Android I highly recommend the Galaxy S20 FE

Not really a long time lurker so sorry if this has been said before.

It feels entirely like a flagship phone. There's nothing about the user experience that reminds me I got a discounted version of the Note 20. Screen, battery, and cameras are solid.

Been a long time Samsung user and I got an open box S20 FE for $431 USD. The last time I spent less than $500 on a phone was 2013....

Brave Browser + Wireguard + Pihole = Amazing ad-free news with Feedly

See noscript. Best way to read news on the go IMO. No AMP pages. No blank spots in articles where ads used to be either. Just a great experience.
