Discussion: What's your opinion on folders in app drawers?

I understand the main intention of the android app drawer is to have all of your apps in one place arranged in an alphabetical order and shortcuts of the most used ones on the home screen.


But with the increasing number of apps for everyday use, IMO folders in the app drawer is a good way to declutter the experience. Samsung does this and Android launchers such as Smart Launcher 5, Nova launcher, microsoft launcher etc does this. Even Apple does something similar with the app library, I thi...

Shall we talk 2022?

What are your expectations or predictions. What technologies and innovations would you like to see in smartphones in 2022?

For myself.

I think 2022 will be when 5G is truly established. Even budget phones will have 5G and "5G" name from phones will probably disappear, unless it's budget phones.

120Hz screens should come to all price segments. And there may be a few phones that push frequency response higher, although it's not necessary at all. What I would like is push for higher touch sa...

911 bug Google is mailing users of Microsoft Teams ("Critical update needed for your Microsoft Teams app")

I just got this email a few hours back from Google to update Teams to avoid the emergency number calling bug.

Text:

Hello,
You may have a version of the Microsoft Teams app installed on an Android device that may unintentionally prevent emergency calling (e.g. 911, 999, 112, etc. depending on your region) when you are not logged into the app. The issue is caused by an unintended interaction between the Microsoft Teams app and the underlying Android operating system. Please visit the Google Pl...

Wiko Life 3 review - Surprisingly not that bad for a free phone

When I was in need of phone service in August, I got an iPhone 6 phone from Cintel Wireless. And, frankly, it sucked. From the phone itself to the service, it was pretty bad. So I switched to Assurance Wireless in November, and I received a Wiko Life 3.

From the moment you open the box, you know this isn't gonna be a phone that can compete with the offerings from carriers like MetroPCS. But Wiko does a good job bringing a bit of style to the table. The dark blue textured back feels nice in my h...

Thoughts on using the new Pixel 6 Pro

I've owned the Pixel 2, Pixel 4 & Pixel 4 XL, and now the Pixel 6 Pro. Before that I had the iPhone 3G, 4, 5, and 6.

Overall I'm enjoying the new phone but here are some thoughts I had on the new Pixel 6 Pro after upgrading from Pixel 4 XL.

1. Why did they remove face unlock? They add fingerprint back but removed face unlock. Why is every Google phone so inconsistent from one another? I don't see Apple doing that with their iPhones. Super annoying. Same with Soli radar. It was supposed to be...
