Idk if this is new but people here talk a lot about splash screen being blinding, and this may imply that dark splash screens are coming.

Favorite cross-platform messaging app?

My brothers and I have been using Allo to communicate for the last few months, and with the news of Google cancelling yet another messaging service, I think I'm just ready to start using something more permanent and reliable.

What is everyone's favorite messaging application? I really wish Google had a reliable answer to iMessage, but with them merging and stopping development on every app they've started, I don't see that happening anytime soon. ...

Who so much flack for the Moto G7

Hahaha! Guys! It's a budget phone.. you need to adjust your expectations for the specific price point. So what if the SoC is a few generations old, it will still run regardless. This phone was made so people who literally do not care about anything else than to have a phone that simply works can pick it up. If you want all the premium features like OLED, wireless charging and all that then yes, I'm sure Motorola is capable of doing it, BUT, you're going to need to pay a bit more.

I've started using Fluid Navigation Gestures, here is my review/thoughts on it.

**Fluid Navigation Gestures** is definitely a step up from normal Android Pie gestures, it gets rid of that unnecessary black bar, as well as that home button that we have to tap even though it's supposed to be gesture based? (Google pls)

I've been using it for the past hour and I am enjoying the extra screen space, I have disabled my navigation bar on the 5X before, but never used Fluid Navigation. However there are a few things I find a bit off.

Samsung Rep brought an S10+ to our Sprint store!

I don't know what's confirmed about the S10 series online besides the design leaks, but here's what I have to say.
The phone did not have rounded edges. Looks like Samsung is abandoning their special Infinity display gimmick. This was definitely not the S10e btw. It was 6.4 inches.
The fingerprint sensor is under the screen. I know there were rumors floating around because the sensor wasn't on the back anymore. I just wanna confirm it's under the screen and works pretty well.

Where do you think Samsung is coming from when they priced their S10 series so high

I think it's because they know you won't be stuck to the S line with them. They still provide their Note and Mid-range choices yearly and they aren't cannibalizing on the price range that S10 will go for.

​

Not to mention, they will keep selling previous years' phones as well.

​

This is why Samsung could afford to push price. They are offering a full range of phones across a spectrum of prices.

What's your opinion on this? ...

Feature wish list

What is a feature that other Android manufactures include in their phones that you wish your manufacturer of choice included in your phone?

I've wish Google would include a theme engine in the Pixel line like Samsung has. Or a stylus (only thing I miss from having a Note)...

I extensively handled a Galaxy S10+, AMA!

After going over some details of the device and all options that will be presented to the (US) market at launch, I want to inform to the best of my abilities all new things about these 3, count em 3, phones. There may be a 4th device in the works but I was not able to get any special information on it as of now. Models are as follows, S10e, S10, and S10+. 3 storage/RAM configs will be offered but I am not able to confirm what all we be offered on each of the 3 different models. 128GB/6GB, 512GB/...
