One of the areas that is often overlooked with modern smartphones that are equipped with bigger camera sensors is the quality of lenses, and the blur they produce

Quality of blur is a bit of a pet peeve of mine and I don't ever seem to see it mentioned by reviewers on YouTube, or even websites like GSMArena.

Modern smartphones have bigger sensors, and when they focus up close, due to the nature of the sensor there is more area that is blurred.

The presence of blur is not the issue, in fact it is welcomed; it helps create a more immersive photo with the "3D" effect. The issue is the quality of the blur itself. I don't know if modern smartphone manufact...

So I'm going to do something different for this mega thread. The OnePlus 13 already launched in China and some reviewers already made review/content about it. I will also post those as well here but I will organize them based on what those videos are. I will also denote the video pre global launch.

As usual, if you guys find any videos that I miss, please let me know and I'll put them in the thread. Thanks!...

Solo dev looking for feedback

Hi all, just completed an app in the financial sector. It announces market parameters for financial assets: price, volume, etc in realtime from all major brokers. It's free to try, I can provide a longer trial period as well by dm.

Just looking for any feedback, positive or negative.

Thank you for your time....

App recommendations to take screenshot beyond fullscreen?

So in Android, there's a feature on my Pixel 9 Pro where if I hit the Volume-Down and Power button at the same time, I can take a screenshot of, say, a long text message without having to scroll and take three or four screenshots to get the same content. The thing is that it doesn't always work, especially if I'm trying to take a snapshot somewhere in the middle or if there's a video involved.

Does anyone know of a third-party app that perhaps might do this better? Thanks!...
