I didn't know this about the Chrome app.

Apparently, if you press and hold the back button it pops up with a brief list of your history to select from. This is handy for those websites that try to keep you on their page no matter how many times you back up. I don't know if this is common knowledge, but if even one person can use this post, it will not be in vain....

Review of S5E (and emulator use)

I bought the black 128GB, 6GB RAM version.  For perspective, I also have devices Androids with the 835, 845, 950 Kirin and the 960 Kirin.   I saw no performance difference with the 960 over the 950 Kirin, so kept the older Media Pad.
I mainly bought it to see how it performs with higher end emulators.  Quick gloss over:

Build = Great

Weight is light

Speakers sound unusually good for a tablet, and better than my iPad Pro 256GB

Display = Great

Battery life = Great- easily over ten hours with ...

How expensive phones are strangling Android version distribution

**TL, DR:** The dramatic increase in phone prices over the past few years has forced users to lengthen their hardware upgrade cycles. At the same time, the rate of Android updates hasn't matched this increase. As a result, the share of Android phones running less than the latest Android release is increasing.

Google's original vision for hardware was for it to be inexpensive and easily replaced. However, Apple shifted the market perception prefere...

Pixel 3a and 3aXL are on their way

So just got the order for the Pixel 3a and 3aXL on the way to our Verizon store. This is before the release even from Google! Just figured I'd keep the hype going and letting everyone know that these phones are going to available very soon, maybe sooner then we expected. I'll be happy to post again when they arrive and I'm able to get my hands on them! (P.S. they are both in 64Gb variants if that's useful news to anyone)...

Pixel 3a - Doesn't seem like there's a spectral/flicker sensor

Assuming the leaks and photos of the boxes etc are true (at this point, it is all but confirmed), it doesn't look like the 3a has the spectral/flicker sensor that the 3 has. There aren't any extra holes or sensors on the back of the phone like the 3, 2, and 1 have, so I'm assuming the 3a is using phase detection autofocus (PDAF) like the 3 does but doesn't have the spectral/flicker sensor.

I know those are used for specific circumstances in video recording, but I just wanted to point that out a...

The Moto G7 Plus is currently in violation of the "Android Enterprise Recommended" requisites

As much as I love the phones that Moto makes, this sucks. The G7 Plus is supposedly in the list of [android enterprise recommended](https://androidenterprisepartners.withgoogle.com/device/#!/4898556297084928) devices, which means it must get security patches within 90 days of their release for 5 years.

However, the G7 Plus is [currently sitting with the January 2019 security patch](https://i.imgur.com/Rs8xslW.png). This means it's in violation of these requisites already, super soon after laun...
