What is the best android phone so far?

Some background, i move from a iPhone 15 Pro Max to a Z Fold 6 a few months back simply because Apple is screwing themselves with Apple Intelligence rollout and the stale phone designs every year. Just when i gave Samsung a chance, they screwed up the rollout of One UI 7, heard there are still bugs with it, and so i decided to change to a Pixel 9 Pro where i can trust Google to give me the latest software updates timely.

But then, now I've heard how the pixel camera is the worst in recent year...

Google Photos tests new features like bulk downloads on mobile, Mother's Day highlights, QR code sharing, and more

Android Authority published 5 articles today about upcoming changes in Google Photos for Android. Rather than sharing all 5 articles here individually, I thought linking them in one self-post might be better.

1) Google Photos is working on making image rotation more intuitive (APK teardown)

2) Google Photos wants to help you surprise your mom on Mother's Day (APK teardown)
