An Apples to Oranges Comparison

When flagship features of iPhone / iPad OS updates are released 10+ years later to their Android counterpart's initial relase, how can users genuinely get upset when they're only promised 2-3 years of updates. Especially if updates like Android 11 come with 100+ new improvements.

Sure security is important, that's one drawback, however the Play Store does offer independent updates outside of the typical upgrade cycle.

Android's exceedingly flexible and customizable nature, has always cemente...

Phandroid pushing bogus "Top 10" lists featuring app clones.

I've had Phandroid aka "Android Phone Fans" in my RSS reader for more years than I can remember but I'm not putting up with their recent turn towards shilling app clones. Ethical questions surrounding the topics aside, their "10 best free apps to track a cheating spouse for Android" post is pushing 6 different apps made by the same company as their top 6 choices, and they published a second post today ("How to read someone else's text messages online for free) that, shocker, also promotes the s...

Ever lacked internal storage on your phone? I tried to fix this issue on my Vivo y81i (about 160 USD) by using adoptable storage. Unfortunately it didn't have the ability to do this right in the settings app, so I tried using ADB (and did the solution linked below). didn't work... any suggestions?

If Google took their time to make processors on Pixel phones would it make the phone better or worse?

Is there anything stopping Google from creating an API that app developers can use to access a camera image, and forcing device makers to program that functionality into their devices in future Android releases?

Android devices have long had the issue of not taking great pictures in apps like Instagram and Snapchat (with the exception of Pixel devices with with Pixel Visual Core/Pixel Neural Core), because those apps only essentially screenshot the viewfinder as a one-size-fits-all solution to take pictures on such a wide variety of different devices, each with different methods of proper camera access and image processing.



Could Google create an API like this:

HD YouTube streaming is back for India! (Kinda)

Today I noticed, I had 1080p steaming available on my android. After running a few tests with other people, I've realised that you can get HQ streaming on YouTube in India as long as the following criterias are met:
- You must be a YouTube Premium member
- You must be connected to a Wi-Fi Network

I think they isolated a small subset of the population of India that can access HQ videos to reduce load on their servers.

Android & Googles Anti-Trust Issues

So it looks like Google will be experiencing what Microsoft went through with antitrust case https://www.theverge.com/interface/2020/7/15/21324105/google-antitrust-california-search-youtube

How will this affect Android ? If Google is asked to split out Maps, Android or even their Ad business it could lead to Microsoft, Alibaba or worse Apple buy some of the parts.

If the US decides to split it apart could it be we end up with a defacto monopoly of Apple who has all the services while the comp...
