Phones with matte/frosted glass back are becoming trendy. Do you prefer it over glossy/clear glass? How does it hold up?

[Sony Xperia Z5](https://cdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot//reviews/15/sony-xperia-z5/gal/-1024x768w1/gsmarena_019.jpg) was the first phone to feature a frosted rear casing in 2015, with [OnePlus 6](https://cdn2.gsmarena.com/vv/pics/oneplus/oneplus-6-6.jpg) and [Google Pixel 3](https://cdn2.gsmarena.com/vv/pics/google/google-pixel-3-4.jpg) following suit.

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

The new predictions in Gmail which can suggest complete phrases are scarily accurate. It saves so much time. I'd love to have that everywhere via GBoard.

I think Google will do this in time, I hope, as they start using their massive AI in more products....

With the rise of foldable phones, do you think Google will rework the Android's tablet experience ?

As foldable phones are now a thing and as they will probably offer more and more screen real estate with time (if they actually become a new standard), do you think Google will start considering Android's tablet experience again, which is currently only maintained by a few manufacturers ? I don't expect them to fully embrace it but perhaps working on making sure Android is able to provide a visual feedback and experience that kind of justify the nature of these devices.

After all, people still ...

Ok, so yesterday I got to see the Exynos S10's teardown info. Turns out that there are no Maxim audio chips to be seen! If you look at teardowns for the S8 and S9, you will see a Maxim Integrated audio amplifier. As of the S9 release, every flagship tablet, along the Note and S series phones since the Galaxy S3 contained audio chips from Maxim....

Is amoled truly an upgrade over IPS displays?

I'm looking for a new phone and have been looking at both the LG G7 as well as the V35, the main differences seem to be the v35 having an amoled display while the g7 has ips. The problem though is i keep seeing others complain about oled causing screen problems in the future. Its odd to me that a more "future proof" phone like the v35 would have a screen more suceptable to wear in the long run than the ips of the g7. So do most people still believe amoled > ips?...
