Why Is 3D Face Unlock Still Missing from Most Android Phones?

I’ve been wondering for quite some time, why don’t we see more Android flagships using proper 3D face unlock like Apple’s Face ID? Apart from a few Honor devices, most Androids still rely on basic 2D front camera systems, which often fail in the dark or can’t even tell the difference between a real face and a photo (which is… idk mildly concerning). Is there some patent Apple’s holding onto, or is it just too expensive or space-consuming to implement?

Maybe Android skips 3D face unlock because ...

Hey Oneplus! Your computational RAW is broken on OP13 and this is why you should fix it.

As a photography enthusiast who owns a very capable mirrorless camera and a matching set of lenses, I swear by the old saying, “The best camera is the one you have with you.”

Since I consider myself a power user and needed a new phone, the OP13 seemed the right candidate. Western software, unlockable bootloader, flagship specs, and pretty good camera hardware.

One key aspect that stood out from the reviews that I’ve read is how “master mode” could be used to shoot natural-looking images and ho...

Android abandoned Earthquake Early Warning in the Philippines

It's been months since I've received an Earthquake Early Warning from Android. It's disappointing because it gave us 5-20 seconds to do before the earthquake strikes. But now, nada. Nothing. Especially with the recurring earthquakes in the Philippines we've felt last few months.

Typical Google killing the products and program that works. So disappointed....
