What happened to under-display selfie cameras?

They seemed to become a trend for a short while, but somehow they completely disappeared again (pun intended).

There was an impact on selfie cam image quality (photos looked a bit hazy/soft), but it seemed to me that this was clearly improving with the technology getting better. Suddenly however, the punchhole selfie cam seems to be the "accepted standard" and under-display cams are just gone. What's going on?...

Android in 2025 – apart from app optimization, what’s left?

It feels like Android phone have solved most of their older weaknesses :

● 7 years of updates (Google, Samsung) → closing the gap with iOS

● Bigger and Better batteries (especially with the Silicon Carbon) + fast charging → iOS has better battery efficiency but this difference aren’t a big deal anymore due to this

● Privacy features and security patches have gotten much stronger

● Ecosystem (watches, earbuds, smart tags) is steadily improving

The one area that still stands out is app optimi...
