The Samsung Experience's Full screen gestures are not as comfort/easy as advertised

I mean, I understand what they wanted to achieve, but I don't feel it as swift as the Android Pie home button gestures.

I have a J6+. It's a large screen, so it's not comfortable to move the thumb all the way down and then swipe up again for the specific nav function. If the thumb is already down, just press the button instead of swipe up, right?...

Tip: When Messages for Web disconnects from your phone, just turn off/on your WiFi on your phone and it will reconnect instantly.

I read this tip somewhere online and I've been doing it ever since. Don't get me wrong, I wish Messages for web was more reliable. It should let you login with your Google account so that it's always online, but until then this is a great tip to keep the connection going....

Nokia 7 Plus stock camera app connecting to Facebook servers

Yesterday while checking my AdGuard logs, I realized that my stock camera app had [tried to connect](https://i.imgur.com/w2SJfXO.jpg) to Facebook servers out of the blue. I haven't used facebook, opened my camera or anything like that. That seemed a bit strange.

Today I realized that every single time I take a photo or open up the camera, the camera app [tries to connect to Facebook](https://i.imgur.com/5mssN88.jpg) not only once but **twice**. Facebook wasn't used at all at this time and this ...

"Even though the absolute power isn’t that much bigger than the Cortex A55 cores, the Tempest and Mistral cores are 2.5x faster than an A55, which also results in energy efficiency that is around 2x better." - AnandTech

Everyone always talks about the big core scores, but phones are usually running on these little cores. The A55 is 2 years old at this point and obviously in dire need of an update. On [SPEC2006](https://images.anandtech.com/doci/14072/SPEC2006eff-overview_575px.png), it's barely more efficient than an A76.

This seems to be a far more important issue than the perf discrepancy between Apple and ARM big cores. At least those are similar efficiency wise.
