Android is an amazing operating system....I'll surely ditch iOS for good now!

I am a life long iOS user. I have used Android before, but with bad experience.

Recently I lost my iPhone X and Im not in a position to financially afford an expensive phone. Older iPhones do suffer with performance and are outdated. So I decided to get a mid range Android. My two options boiled down to the One Plus 6T or the Pixel 3a XL. I chose the Pixel since the 6T doesn't support my carrier.

I miss small phones

So here is my situation:

I need a new phone. And the are all too big for my taste. There was a time where i had a choice between different sizes. Now i only can choose between too big, way too big or outdated.
My smartphone now is 5" without infinity edge. With infitiy edge of course the screen gets bigger with the same form factor. But we reached a generation were 6" is almost a minimum.

The only phone with good specs and a small display is the sony xperia xz2 compact. Thats it. And sony is a...

Favourite Android Q feature: Notifications for apps getting your location in the background

I've had Q beta 5 on my Pixel 3 for a few days now. It notifies me whenever an app gets location info in the background.

I got a JBL Link Bar. Here are some of my observations so far

I'm switching from a Xiaomi Mi Box S that I got on sale around last holiday season. My experience with the Mi Box was very lackluster, despite all the praise I saw it get on reviews. The performance was atrocious, CEC barely worked on it, there were a ton of bugs, and the remote was cheap, flimsy, and unresponsive. I could keep going but I digress. Needless to say, I've had a JBL Link sized hole in my living room for more than a year so I immediately pulled the trigger when it became available.
