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...

Hi, while changing settings on my Pixel 8 I noticed that the gesture navigation bar turned dark and wanted to share this with all those people who find the white line at the bottom SO annoying!



Here are the steps:



1. Annoying navigation bar at bottom of screen

How can I turn an old Android into a useful dev/test device?

Hi everyone,

I have an old Android phone (4GB RAM / 64GB storage) that's no longer usable as a daily driver. Hardware issues: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, hotspot, and camera are dead. On top of that, it has a replaced display, so the screen quality isn’t great either.

I did manage to set up reverse tethering via USB from my laptop, so the device can still get internet access. Since I already use another phone as my primary, I was wondering if I could turn this one into something useful from a develope...

Material 3 has an insane range of font sizes.

My eyes aren't good, so I always need some mixture and DPI and font scaling in Android settings. The issue is that Material 3 has massive gaps between the largest font size and the smallest font size now. Due to that I have to increase the global scale so much, that some (parts of) apps become borderline unusable because I can only see a few characters of a word.

I don't think I can do anything about that except reporting a few specific issues in specific apps, but I'd like to know if others ha...
