How important are animations to you?

I recently discovered the now deprecated and never released Reddit app [Dank](https://github.com/saket/Dank), which can be downloaded from GitHub in its latest pre-release state.

Playing with it I noticed just how butter-smooth its animations are. They show up when switching between almost any layer of the app. Most importantly, those animations feel right at home on Android. Using the task switcher or the home button leads to similar transitions. This is how I imagined Material Design back wh...

The LG V35 is an amazing phone

I know that LG gets a lot of hate (deservedly) because of their crappy updates and their old issues, but man I just picked up a V35 and it's amazing. I haven't owned any other modern flagships to compare it to, I'm coming from a V20, but I feel like this is almost the perfect phone. Super snappy, good camera made better with gcam, ridiculous battery life (I hit almost 8 hours yesterday), and no notch + killer headphone jack. Obviously bias is possibly a factor but I objectively think this is one...

Design idea for Play Store changelogs.

https://imgur.com/wOzHEKz

I made a mockup of what I think could be an improvement to the changelog system on the Play Store.

Basically, there's should be a history of the changes with dates.

Also there can be screenshots/videos added (similar to the the actual Play Store listing) to show the latest features in action.

Maybe there can even be a button that allows users to go to a specific version to get the changes for that version, filter by beta branches, etc.

Maybe a lot of dumb suggest...

Google Needs to Fix Their Pixel Stand Heat Issues

Google's new fancy and expensive stand has been giving me and many other people issues. When running absolutely nothing, the phone seems to reach 40°C in under a minute, causing the wireless charger to throttle its charging speed not to a happy medium of say 1100 mA, but after fast charger when its cool at 1800mA it very quickly heats up and drops the speed of 800mA or even less. I don't know if it is a problem with the phone or the stand, but they need to fix this.

Also, for some reason the...

What current features would make you upgrade from an old Android smartphone?

This is not a "what phone should I buy" question. I use a smartphone from 2013, and I do fine with it. Over five years later, I'm wondering if in the past few years there would be a feature (or features) that stand out enough to warrant shelling out for a late-model phone?

For example, I learned about Project Treble and that made me seriously consider upgrading. Also it seems that phones are getting more durable, and I've thought of that as a good feature.

What are your thoughts?...
