    It's been 4.5 yrs since Andorid Auto was launched and it's still present in only 36 countries.

    im buying a car and the dealer told me i can get only apple carplay as Android auto is not supported in my country, Belgium. however AA is available in France, Germany, Uk with no reason why it's not on playstore yet after almost 5 years.

    Why is Google taking forever to launch AA in all countries?

    Why is custom ROM scene split into creating so many variations of the same thing?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2019 05:59 PM PDT

    tl;dr: there's a lot of ROMs built on the same version of Android with the same set of features, why?

    Android has many flavors, as pretty much every producent having its own. Yet most of the scene is focused on creating AOSP builds. For my current Redmi Note 7 there is a dozen, with very little differences like few extra customization options, reordered settings for those and a different kernel. Bigger, more known ROMs are focused around certain ideas, like LineageOS oriented on Google-less, privacy oriented OS or Pixel Experience providing the OS as close to the one found on Google phones. But apart from those there is a long list of ROMs which barely have any extra features in a cost of often much lower stability and outdated sources. Furthermore, just a few of them is supported for more than a few weeks. I'm not trying to gatekeep people from inventing new builds, as I found myself enjoying similar tasks, but I feel like a bigger part of the community could focus on a definitive version, on top of which people could create their very own OS using sources that are verified to be working instead of creating yet another ROM that will die in days

    Are compact flagships dead?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2019 10:47 AM PDT

    When I have to buy a new smartphone, I always knew what specs it must've had to be considered a viable option. For the last 15 months or so I am enjoying my OnePlus 5T. Previous one was a Nexus 4.

    An iPhone SE user friend asked me about Android phones and told me he'd like a new phone. I asked what was the go to specs he wanted and what would be a deal breaker. His requests put me in a very tough spot and I can't find any phone in those constraints.

    He asks a flat body (both back and front) 14x7cm manufactured after 2017 No brand requests, no gimmicks. The only phone i could convince him for to consider is Essential PH1 and it's unavailable in Turkey.

    Is there such phone or are we going to give up and get an overpriced iPhone? (iPhone 8 64GB variant is 881$ on Apple/TR as of the writing date of this post)

    What features that the Android community once considered important have now been long forgotten?

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 10:57 PM PDT

    As a former Android enthusiast who is now just a passive observer in this subreddit, it's interesting to me to see trends come and go. In the moment, the Android community will often insist on the lack of certain features as complete deal breakers, when a year or so later this is no longer the case.

    To start off, I'd say that curved backs for ergonomics are definitely a feature that no one talks about anymore.

    With no wrong answers, what are your personal top 3 phones in terms of looks?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2019 06:45 PM PDT

    For me personally:

    1. Pixel 2 XL (Reverse) Panda - if someone asked me to picture a modern phone in my head, without thinking, the design would look a lot like it, it just looks like a phone and the symmetrical bezels, dual speakers and even camera position and size seem just right. Combine that with the gorgeous mix of colours and the contours of the frame and back, it was certainly a looker of a phone

    2. Meizu 16S - even with the war on bezels, this phone somehow manages to keep them there with almost impossibly good style. The phone looks like what I pictured the Galaxy S10 to have been before it was released, and the camera and ring for the flash just looks really cool and aesthetically pleasing in a minimal but functional way

    3. Xiaomi Mi 9T - yes, I am a bit biased because I'm currently typing on it, but it does look fantastic. I loved the look of the Mi Mix 3 I had previously, that glossy mirror finished ceramic looked incredible. But that same display that pushes bezels to their limits for nonexistence is just right between functionality and the immersive experience, and the carbon fiber back is gorgeous to the point I have to take it out of the case for a wipe down just to admire it and how it changes in the light. The subtle red accents on the LED, the ring around the telephoto lens and the power button just add to it further. Personally, it is peak aesthetics for a phone approaching 2020, and I'm just waiting to see if the Mi Mix 4 (not Alpha) gets announced to improve on it further, because it would look insane in that classy ceramic
