Android 12 media experience is a mess
After being in the beta and having no issues, it was a surprise to see so many bugs just from the media side of things in Android 12. This is a list of bugs I deal with daily:
1. Switching media sources doesn't always stop the previous source, resulting in both audio sources playing at the same time.
2. Audio will just cut out randomly and not come back, I either have to force close the app or restart my phone for it to work again.
3. YouTube videos will pause at the end of each scene for a few...

The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 looks great on paper, but it takes more to be the best
Building and selling the most powerful smartphone chip isn't enough. It will take more if MediaTek wants to try and become "the best."

I wish they didn't get rid of translucency in Android 12
I got my Pixel 6 in today and so far it's pretty good! But one of the big things I noticed was that the notification shade, multitasking menu, and app drawer, all kinda look like garbage? At least compared to my previous LG G8X and LG G7 One.
On my G8X for example, when you pull down the notification shade you get this nice translucent blur over most of the screen, and the section with the quick toggles has a darker, rounded corner look. It looks really elegant and I've even adopted a similar ...

How long do you keep your phone for?
Do you upgrade yearly? Do you keep your phone until your service provider's contact is over? Or do you hold on to it until the battery can't hold a charge and/or software support is over?
The jump from one gen to the next (especially for flagships) is now pretty tiny. Sure benchmark results are still improving, but for daily use it's damn near impossible to tell a difference. Couple that with most companies moving to increase their software support committment to 3 years, chip shortages, and ri...
