Samsung Galaxy Notes and S Ultras have always sold well. The Note/S Ultra is on its 21st generation. Why don't other manufacturers sell phones with an active stylus?

I would have thought that in an industry where everyone copies each other, there would be a lot more phones with active styluses. If it wasn't popular, Samsung wouldn't still be making them, so what gives? I guess the same question applies to Samsung's DeX mode, but I don't think that was ever a popular feature, so other companies probably didn't have anything to gain by copying it....

I feel like there's no (mid to high end) Android phone on the market right now that doesn't have major issues. Is that true or is the community just a bit nit picky?

Hi!

Right, so, going through a bunch of reddit threads and videos and stuff like that I really have the feeling that all phones people talk about (that's why I excluded the budget phones) have some serious issues compared to a few years ago.

LG: gone
HTC: gone
Huawei: no Google stuff which might or might not be an issue for some but for most average consumers it is
Chinese phones: apparently Chinese spyware on the phone? Haven't looked much into it but read it in an off sentence somewh...

I changed a setting that makes the Material You UI look way better

Apologies if this is obvious, but when Android 12 came out, I very much hated the Material You UI look. Everything felt big and blocky, like it was designed for old people. The tiles in the quick notification drawer felt unnecessarily large and I even debated switching to an iPhone.

Today I went into the font size settings and turned the display size slider all the way down. Wow! What a difference. Everything looks so much cleaner and much of the excessive white space is gone.

Just wanted to p...
