Xperia 10 Plus camera samples and more impressions

https://imgur.com/a/iNgzg3F

Camera megapixel ranges are:
4:3 (12MP)
16:9 (9MP)
1:1 (9MP)
21:9 (7MP)

There's 2 copies of images that appear zoomed in, less detail and have a blue-ish tint to them, that is the 2x optical zoom. My cat is low light-ish sample. That zoomed in plant is Macro, not Bokeh. Im struggling to get a good bokeh right now due to it needing a lot of natural light and favourable lighting conditions so I will try to get one soonish.


I like this camera setup more than my XZ1. ...

You can activate it by sending a moon emoji to anyone (🌙). After that, it will be available in Messenger's settings. They say it's still a work in progress, but I haven't found any issues yet.

Google should let us default to the upcoming tab in Google Feed

The news feed has become almost useless, sometimes giving me 11-year-old articles and random stuff that I don't care about. I'd rather just use the Google News app. However, the Upcoming tab is super useful, and is far more warranted to be the default page....

PSA: You probably won't need a $50 Screen protector for your S10. Any liquid glass screen protector will work.

There are many alternatives on Aliexpress and I'm sure there will be more and better ones once the phone is released.

Charging $50+ for that screen protector is crazy.

Currently there are many aliexpress sellers with a liquid tempered glass protector (cost around $3 to $16), but there are 2 main issues I have with them:

1) The screen protectors don't have the hole punch yet.

2) Many of the cheaper Aliexpress alternatives might be dangerous to apply since they don't seem to include protectio...

Blinded by Gmail's light theme? Here's a temporary (root) workaround until they release a dark theme.

It's not the best, but it's better than being blinded by that dazzling white in the middle of the night. ;D

You need to have tasker and be rooted. Create a profile with an app trigger, select gmail from the list. For the enter task, create a run shell with its command being *settings put secure accessibility_display_inversion_enabled 1*. For the exit task, just change the 1 to 0....

GBoard should have the text completion prediction from Gmail

Samsung should use 'Always On Display' to show the location of the fingerprint sensor

Since many folks are having a hard time locating the fingerprint sensor when the screen is off, using 'Always On Display' to show the location of the fingerprint sensor can come in handy.
