It seems completely insignificant, but this regularly tricks me into thinking that a new notification appeared in the taskbar. Nope, it's just one of the clock digits that went from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 2, or even from 9 to 0.
Alright, it's not the end of the world and this is nothing compared to the ridiculous padding/margins that have already been discussed many times, but I can't understand how such a basic mistake (and easily fixable with a sim...

What phone you had the best experience with haptic feedback?
For me, it is the Xiaomi 11 ultra LG V60 and Oneplus 7P. I use to turn off the haptics even chance I got over the years to save a little battery and its use to annoy with keyboards. When I got the Oneplus 7P people were talking about the haptic feedback. With Oneplus 7P that was amazing during gaming but the regular system function wasn't much different from mid-tier phone haptics in my experience.

Props to Android's newer features
I am security and privacy conscious when it comes to my devices. When Google revealed its newest features in Android 12 that pertained to security and privacy, most of them seemed like they existed for marketing purposes alone.
Disabling camera and microphone access for all apps and services isn't something that I think the grand majority of people would do. Yet, they went the extra mile of throttling the other sensors when microphone access is disabled to make it more difficult for those other...

Would you use a phone that no longer receives security updates?
I finally caved in and switched my primary device from my beloved KEY2 to a Pixel 5.
The KEY2 has gotten 3 full years of security updates (impressive for a TCL device) but that has now ended, with August 2021 being the last update.
In the past, I never paid any attention to security updates, I didn't care about them in the slightest. What mattered to me was: Do I actually enjoy the device I'm currently using, even after the initial "honeymoon" period?
