Reevaluating the value of Flagships now that GCam is more accesible

So I got a mid-range Galaxy and its camera is terrible. However I downloaded GCam and it took spectacular photographs, even with the front camera! Literally one of the best photos I've ever taken was using GCam portrait mode on the front camera.

My main reason for wanting Flagship phones are the camera. I always thought that camera hardware was the main determinant of a phone's photo quality but GCam proved otherwise. So if you can get great quality pictures on a mid-range phone, are Flagships ...

Go Back Gesture Animation Refresh

Anyone else think the Pixel's "Go Back" gesture looks unfinished and kinda boring? I really like the look of MIUI's Go Back gesture or something similar to it.

Android Search: what gives?

Does anyone else notice how anemic the search function on stock Android devices is? You can get results from the web, search for an app by name installed on your phone, and... well that's pretty much it.

Why wouldn't Android search not search through data in apps like Gmail, Drive, etc. as well as other applications who expose data (and you permit) for searching?

I know web search has some private data that can be retrieved but only by using special search terms. It all seems like an area the...

Has Android's Golden Age Passed?

Hey y'all. I was on a boat Saturday after being thrown from the tube being pulled behind it when I saw some footage of the wipeout on an iPhone. I said that I really wanted that footage and the girl said that it would be easy if I had an iPhone because she could beam it to me, but she had no service at the lake.

I thought about mentioning that this was a feature of an Android phone from years past and that it had (to my knowledge) been retired as it wasn't widely used, but I stopped short and ...
