This weekly Sunday thread is for you to let off some steam and speak out about whatever complaint you might have about:
Rules 1) Please do not target any individuals or try to name/shame any individual. If you hate Google/Samsung/HTC etc. for one thing that is fine, but do not be rude to an individual app developer. 2) If you have a suggestion to solve another user's issue, please leave a comment but be sure it's constructive! We do not want any flame-wars. 3) Be respectful of other's opinions. Even if you feel that somebody is "wrong" you don't have to go out of your way to prove them wrong. Disagree politely, and move on. [link] [comments]  |

| Exynos 2100 vs Snapdragon 888 by PBKReviews Posted: 31 Jan 2021 08:39 PM PST Comparison of the 2 variants. Exynos 2100 seems much improved than last year's 990, but lacks a bit on gpu performance compared to Snapdragon 888.

| Where to get reviews of Android devices outside of the social media/affiliate link ecosystem? Posted: 31 Jan 2021 09:42 AM PST I've come to the conclusion that the existence of affiliate links has made it almost impossible to get discerning critical coverage of products. Even the negative reviews are basically advertisements, that just throw me in a few cautious warnings about missing features. And the popular ones seems to be just surface-level stuff for the most part. This applies to YouTube of course, but also a lot of the popular websites too whose coverage is almost entirely focused on providing links and making it easy for you to buy stuff. To be fair reviews in either places like the New York times and Washington Post aren't much better. They do have much stronger ethics rules, and the individual reviewers aren't directly benefiting from sales, but they tend to be list of the five most popular devices in any particular market. And it also tends to parrot conventional wisdom. I would be more than willing to pay for reviewers who remove themselves entirely from out of ecosystem and do critical reviews as a matter of policy. There are outliers on YouTube...tech tablets, for instance. but even the most diligent well-meaning YouTubers still tend to be pretty positive in their reviews of almost every device. Tl;dr... Is there anywhere to find critical reviews of products besides message boards and forums?;are there any alternatives to YouTube and social media for reviews of Android devices? [link] [comments]  |
| Samsung Galaxy S series camera comparison for S9, S10+ and S21 [indoors, outdoors, zoom, night mode] Posted: 31 Jan 2021 05:28 AM PST Hey all, I did a naive / non-scientific comparison of the cameras on S9, S10+ and S21 over the weekend as I had all three phones available. Mainly a series of sample photos taken with the 3 devices, covering indoors, outdoors, 2x zoom and night mode photography scenarios. Hope you like it. https://nicktgr15.github.io/samsung-galaxy-camera-comparison-s9-vs-s10-vs-s21.html [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone considering jumping ship to Apple lately? Posted: 31 Jan 2021 10:04 AM PST I've been rocking a Galaxy phone since the S3. Typically a really big fan of the phones -- I still think Samsung makes some of the best flagship phones in the Android market. That being said, I'm disappointed in where the market is headed, an iPhone gets more appealing by the day. Grievances
Anyone else thinking along the same lines? Really frustrated in the direction Android has headed in the past 5-ish years. Give me a half decent watch, iMessage, and freedom from Zucc and I'd be happy. I still hate how iOS is laid out vs. Android. [link] [comments]  |
| Use google assistant as Text-to-speech output Posted: 31 Jan 2021 01:57 AM PST Is this possible? Google assistant voice is much more natural than embedded android solution [link] [comments]  |
