What are some aspects of the phones most of the people seem to prefer but not a deal breaker for you?

If you go through any tech forums, you'd see lot of people clamoring for various things - front facing stereo speakers, NFC, water-proofing, wireless charging, notification LED. There have been a few instances where majority of the people demanding for a particular feature and yet it's no deal breaker for me.

PSA: AppOpsX is apparently being used to commit click fraud/advertising fraud.

X-post from /r/AndroidApps.

I received on a popup on my Pixel XL 2 that I've never seen before: a warning, apparently from Google, that AppOpsX was using devices to commit advertising fraud, and asking if I would like to uninstall.

I immediately clicked uninstall, but decided to investigate a little, in part because I do not have Play Store's protection/app check enabled, and I hadn't heard of this sort of message before. So I was concerned that the message itself might be caused by some sort ...

There is a YouTube channel the copies comments word from word on r/android and uses them in his videos.

So I'm subbed to a channel and noticed this a month ago when I watched one of his videos and what he was saying sounded exactly like a comment I made in a thread. I brushed it off originally but it happened again only an hour ago so I looked into it. And yes both the comments are exactly the same word for word in his videos. I can't be the only one he's done this to, and I'm sure many upvoted posts were used in his videos word for word. These are just my comments.
