Unpopular Opinion: Big phones are better

I've seen many people preach for smaller phones here because big phones are either too big to fit into pockets or bad one hand usability. For the first point, I have a Mi Max 3 (6.9") and it can fit all of my clothing except jeans. I disagree that it's too big to fit, but it sure doesn't look good on tighter fits.

For one hand usability, I feel that many people haven't tried gestures navigation. On my phone, I have to swipe right from left edge to go back, and swipe up from bottom to go home...

Opinion: The Google Pixel is no longer what it was known for

It was known for its best performance, great battery life, great speakers, and the best camera. Now?

- The Pixel 3 has mediocre RAM management (even after December patch), and multiple reviewers even report it stuttering. Definitely not best performance.

- Speaker quality is worse than Pixel 2 XL, and Pixel 3 XL has widespread distortion issues. Not great, but above average speaker.

- The battery life of the Pixel 3 XL is noticeably worse than Pixel 2 XL according to benchmarks, and many r...

How I stopped pre installed malware without root on a Phicomm Energy 3+

Hey folks someone gifted me a ''Phicomm Energy 3+ chinese device but there was malware preinstalled.

​

The malware is of this type

[https://blog.avast.com/android-devices-ship-with-pre-installed-malware](https://blog.avast.com/android-devices-ship-with-pre-installed-malware)

​

Basically a preinstalled dropper app pulls more ad infested games, ad notifications and so on.

​

Getting those trash notifications, I was about to throw the phone away. Remembering that it was a...

Pie in the Nokia 5.

So, my phone decided to commit deadn't and I forced the Pie update right away.

First things I noticed.

* God, this is like iOS 12 to an iPhone 6, everything's so smooth.
* I had to sideload Digital Wellbeing and install a Wind Down alternative due to the Nokia 5 not being in Android One.
* The new animations are great, but the open app one looks like an iOS ripoff.
* No gestures for me! (thanks)
* Always On Display (more like Sometimes On Display) scares me, this might deplete my battery.
* Th...
