Phones need more operating systems (hear me out)

Billions of people are using basically 2 OS, Android and iOS. iOS is developed so far that Apple can't make any serious changes anymore, hence only adding new features.
Android is not owned by the majority of manufacturers that use it, so instead tuning it to perfection, they focus on the hardware only, creating some Frankenstein phones sometimes.
So in both cases, we won't see much improvement due to the grown structures limitations.
To explain:
In my experience with iPhones, they find gps muc...

Using a light unlock combined with a secure unlock. Let's say, you choose PIN+Password. When you ran into a situation where you will forced to enter your PIN (I'm sure they will t...

Do you prefer the look of Quick Settings in Android 12+ or Android 11- ?

Android 12 changed the look of the Quick Settings: from 6 circular buttons to 2x2 tiles. Sample image.

'Now Playing' is useless if you listen to anything other than mainstream music

My playing history consists of rubbish Google has heard on TV or when I'm out and about: Adele, Simply Red, Sam Smith etc.

I was listening to NTS Radio the other day here in the UK and it picked up literally nothing. Back to Shazam for me....
