Google Photos Biggest Misstep

Ever since Google Photos launched the search by person/place/thing feature in app, I was amazed at how accurate and helpful it was. When you have thousands of photos in your phone, the search feature is really great. But there has always been one major issue, you can't use this feature when opening/sending photos in other apps.

Want to send a picture via text? Can't use the search feature. Want to change your Facebook profile picture? Can't use the search feature. Etc. These seem to be the uses...

It's 2019. The Play Store still cannot handle users that go abroad.

I am a German citizen. Every couple months I need to go abroad for 2-8 weeks due to my job. Many companies within these countries offer Apps to use things such as Public Transport, Bikes, Museum tours, sim-card top ups or for example just a simple KFC-coupon App.

The developers often dont make these Apps available for people from other regions - which makes sense, why would a German play store user want to see 100+ different KFC Apps for each different country?

What does not make sense are tw...

The Samsung Galaxy S10 (Snapdragon) does not output high-resolution audio through the headphone jack!

Most people probably won't care about this, but this is an issue nonetheless.

You may be aware that the Snapdragon 855 carries certain features along with it. One of these features is the [WCD9341 audio codec](https://www.qualcomm.com/products/wcd9341). Among other things, it allows for relatively high quality audio decoding at a maximum PCM resolution of 384kHz/32bit. Most Snapdragon-based phones with headphone jacks since the SD835 onward are configured to use the direct_pcm output in order t...

Are handsets with movable parts here to stay?

With Samsung announcing the A80 ([samsung gif showing the mechanism](https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/01_GalaxyA80_camera_Angel_Gold.gif)) and foldable phones coming to the shops, do you think the next iteration of smartphone evolution might be about movable parts?

What's wrong with moving parts on a phone? I have a 20 year old washing machine, I had several cd/dvd players and the motorized tray never broke.

Yes, water and dust resistance is nice but so are...
