    For $500+, the Samsung Galaxy S10e is the best value smartphone in the market.

    Posted: 01 Jun 2019 08:46 AM PDT

    For all the hype around the $400 Redmi K20 Pro, the $500 Asus Zenfone 6, and the $700 Oneplus 7/7 Pro, I think that the Galaxy S10e is the best value phone on the market right now.

    I just rewatch MKBHD's video of the Galaxy S10e and remembers all the hype there was surrounding the S10e. It funny how we can easily forget something after the hype of the product had faded away.

    The phone was launched for $750, but the price of the phone had dropped to the range of $500-$550, directly competing with the OP 7, Zenfone 6, and maybe even the K20 Pro.

    For a person with small hands, I just love how small and pocket-able the S10e really is

    For a recap of the specs, the Galaxy S10e have:

    • SD 855 / Exynos 9820
    • 6/8 GB of RAM with 128/256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage
    • 12 MP wide camera with OIS and variable aperture (F1.5 - F2.4)
    • 16 MP ultra-wide camera
    • 10 MP front camera, capable of shooting 4k videos
    • 960 fps slow mo videos
    • FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED HDR10+ flat display with a hole-punch design.
    • Fast wireless charging,and wireless powershare
    • IP68 water & dust resistance
    • Pretty loud stereo speakers
    • Dolby Atmos support
    • Wifi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0
    • Fast side fingerprint scanner
    • Samsung's One UI
    • A HEADPHONE JACK

    There is so much hardware that you're getting from a tiny package. Combined that with the lowered price tag and Samsung's brand image, I personally think the S10e is the best value smartphone right now.

    Asus Zenfone 6 review: An absolute steal [Android Authority]

    Posted: 01 Jun 2019 06:51 AM PDT

    Bought a Pixel 3a XL after using Nexus 6 for over four years, wanted to share my experience with the community!

    Posted: 01 Jun 2019 12:18 PM PDT

    Yup, I have been sporting my Nexus 6 for over 4 years, with just a change of battery and flashing Resurrection Remix for OS updates. I did not buy a new phone because of my stubbornness, I think, looking at how expensive smartphones have got over the past few years, not to mention the notch and the no-headphone-jack "innovations" that was really off putting. But also because I loved my Nexus 6.

    But the phone started to really show its age when a few days ago the vibration motor came to a grinding halt. I decided to buy the new Pixel 3a XL and boy am I loving it!

    It is reasonably priced (almost as much as my Nexus 6 at launch), it has no notch, it has a headphone jack, with 3 years of promised updates, until May 2022, a giant battery, great screen, great camera - in short, everything I want from my smartphone.

    The phone is smooth as butter! The overall Android experience has become really mature, and I am really enjoying the Pixel specific little touches sprinkled throughout. The battery is a BEAST. I ended up toying around almost the whole day with my new phone, at around 7 hours of SOT, the battery is still at 40% on the single charge. The camera is great but not as good as the Pixel 3 which I think is because of the missing visual core. Ars Technica did a great comparison between the two which really captures the differences. But that's about it.

    For anyone who's on the edge about this phone, the leap might be worth it. This is not an "average" middle-of-the-line "cheap" phone. This is how much a great smartphone should cost, and it is exactly what is used to be. It feels like the Nexus is rising from its ashes, and I am all giddy with excitement.

    Posted: 01 Jun 2019 08:38 AM PDT

    I personally prefer OxygenOS it's basically stock Android with some really useful features, I really like its UI, clean and fast.

    What skin do you prefer personally? And why?

    Choosing apps as default (and one-time) takes too many steps on Android Q

    Posted: 31 May 2019 11:36 PM PDT

    I've decided to request to reduce the steps needed for it to the minimal possible, because currently I think it's just too many steps.

    Please consider starring these (you can watch the videos if you want to see it for yourself) :

    https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/134134858 - choosing default app

    https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/134188671 - choosing one-time app

    I've noticed it from here, and had to try it myself on my Pixel 2 with Q beta 3:

    https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/05/08/its-easier-to-swap-between-browsers-on-android-q-beta-3/

    The reason is that if you, for example, install a new web browser and now you open a link, you need to perform multiple steps till you actually set it as the default one, as opposed to previous versions:

    1. Open link.
    2. Choose the web browser, maybe needing to scroll too.
    3. Choose settings
    4. Choose the web browser again, maybe needing to scroll again.
    5. Go back.
    6. Open the link again.

    EDIT:

    For those who want the older UX back, I also requested it here:

    Oppo Reno 10x zoom review | GSMArena

    What's the real state of Android 8.x and 9.x security, in terms of somebody trying to get into the content if it's been improperly grabbed?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2019 10:25 AM PDT

    In the past I've been a member of the copwatcher and First Amendment audit movements, and I still occasionally do election monitoring. One of the concerns obviously is can law enforcement break into the contents of a phone if it is recorded something that they don't like having been recorded? This issue comes up all the time.

    One fairly prominent member of the movement, Dave at News Now Houston, is actively promoting iPhones over Android because he feels a cop can improperly get into the contents of an Android phone far easier that an iPhone. From a hardware point of view my LG V30 has features that completely kick any Apple phones ass, including widescreen video recording and the ability to turn the main speaker around backwards as a super boosted microphone for really clear audio despite background noise such as traffic or a crowd. I'm on Android 8 family and I don't actually want to go to 9 anytime soon because recording of calls is blocked.

    Assuming I have a good password based lock screen and encryption turned on for the MicroSD card, is that true anymore? I fully realize that biometric unlocks are a bad idea in this kind of use case. Is there any significant difference between the Android 8 and 9 families?
