Why do you have an Android phone?

Is it because they are cheaper than iPhone or because you got it from your carrrier? And now you are used to it so might as well stay with it?

I came to Android from geeking out on Linux - I can compile my own OS hurr durr! But then got used to how seamless cloud sync was, Google maps, drive etc. Back button fo sho - whenever I'm handling an iPhone, I feel like trapped in whatever the app is.

Money no object - would you be still on Android?...

IPS LCD

Is it just me that prefers midrange phones or even flagship killers to have LCD screens? If i would buy a phone that i will use for 3 years or more and planning to beat the hell out of, as in heavy hours of media consumption i.e playing, movies, videos and youtube everyday, wouldn't an LCD screen be better?

Google App drains much much less battery with Android 10

As the title says, I had to disable Google App and delete Assistant on Android 9, because it was draining my battery like in double digits. Wanted to give it a shot on Android 10 and voila, working great with average daily battery consumption of around 0.7%!! Super happy about this development....

REVIEWS: Best Document Scanner Apps for Android (2020)

I have tried all top apps. And I took a good image with my phone camera (Huawei P30, one of the best cameras you can get), with uniform lightning, clean background, and then imported the same image into all apps. I then used the app controls to get the best results that each app could offer. After that, I copied the resulting PDF to my computer to zoom in and compare the scanner results, to see how well their algorithms did. This means that I gave all apps IDENTICAL input from my photo library, ...
