Could Google please darken the splash screen in their apps?
Basically noscript: Google's is doing a pretty good job with the dark mode on their apps (YouTube, News, Phone etc). I also prefer grey over black which is what they're doing, thumbs up!
But can they please darken the splash screen? It's quite inconsistent when everything is dark. For instance, Reddit and Wikipedia do that.

Pixel 4 mockup suggests punch-hole display, two main cameras for Google's next flagship
[Here's the image](https://i.imgur.com/GYkrKBR.jpg), based on [this sketch](https://i.imgur.com/w88RFWU.jpg). It isn't verified yet, so retain a degree of skepticism.
Perfectly balanced bezels, as all things should be. Stereo, front-facing speakers seem to be present!
Punch-hole seems to be rather big. On the back, it seems like there's a dual-camera setup!
If they can make the regular Pixel 4 the same size as the S10e (or smaller) with a big, juicy battery, it'd be dope.

So, after doing Some Testing, it seems like the Galaxy S10+ is really, really bad at acquiring or holding a Band 12 LTE connection, which are the principle T-Mobile and AT&T bands in my area for indoor coverage. The Pixel 3 XL works fine on both. Ugh.

Here is a really interesting study published recently which tested a few hundred Android security apps found in the Play store, and found that most weren't worth your time or money:

At the very least it identifies the few apps that are worth getting.
