My experience: Android One vs Custom Roms in Xiaomi device

In the last few weeks, I've been flashing different Roms in my device (Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, Android One, 9.0 with April patch). After trying CrDroid, Lineage OS, and Resurrection Remix (official builds, with little to no bugs), I must say...

That I've just come back to stock and am much happier. Yes, Roms offer more personalization, visually they are much better with their dark themes and accent colors, kernel speeds are adjustable and so on, but no one compares with stock rom when referring to s...

As an Android user, are you tied to Apple in any way, shape or form?

In the past I've switched from apple to android, and vice versa a lot. And in my time of being on Android one thing was always a constant for me and that was Apple music. And due to the app being total crap on Android(it's way worse on pie galaxy s10+ than it was on my oreo note 9) yesterday my apple music membership ended, I didn't renew and now I'm almost apple free. The only thing I have that is indirectly apple are my beatsx which I love though. no macbooks, ipads, imacs, airpods, tvs or any...

My first note. I'm blown away.

I've been on Android for awhile. I've had LGs, Motorolas, Samsungs. I've had a few tablets as well. From samsung to Acer to Lenovo. I've always been ok with what I had for the most part. Never wandering into apple.

Two days ago my Moto z2 force edition started crashing. I went through the usual things. Hard reset, hard reset starting fresh.. nothing.. I actually enjoyed this phone. I had the alexa speaker motomod, got me through a day without recharging, the wrist twist for the camera, chop ch...

OnePlus 7 Pro pricing is little bit of high than it should be

Just for a second let it put aside that pricing is leaked. Let consider it is final pricing and we are sure about it that it will cost around $725 (according to recently leaked Indian pricing). Yes, I admit OnePlus smartphones are having lot more fun nowadays. OxygenOS is near to perfect OS for any Android phone out there. Even it is faster than Google own Android OS in Pixel 3 device (said by MKBHD).

Now, I would also add cost of display which OnePlus gonna install 90Hz display and according ...
