| If modernized in design, is it feasible for Smartphones with slide-out keypads to make a comeback? Posted: 03 Apr 2022 02:05 PM PDT In 2015 to 16, we saw the completion of the slide-out keyboard smartphone becoming niche and irrelevant. The reason for this was because there wasn't much evolution taking into account the changes of Smartphone design. Generally slide-out pads were inconsistent as phone design changes killed the old standard. Many weren't durable, added to the size of the phone, sometimes significantly, some lit up slide-outs drained notable battery life, cheaper ones broke easily, spacing was inconsistent, and many were generally featureless with mixed feel. One of the last good keyboard slide-outs came with the BlackBerry Priv, the last BB made in house, and still a good phone today (though in the US you may not be able to use it soon). The Priv pad added to the phone size, (granted the Priv itself wasn't very sleek) and wasn't really modernized. However, it was somewhat slim, durable, featured and usable as a trackpad, wasn't a battery drain, and had a pretty good typing set up and feel. It now being 2022, we have seen in the last few years many electronic gadgets that are not Smartphones, have modernized keypads. Let's be honest, even some of the great older slide-out pads provide a better typing experienced than most on-screen keyboards in recent times, with some adding their own issues. Market is still there, people are paying big on crowdfunding for them, here are a couple examples, both recent: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/astro-slide-5g-transformer#/ If phone manufacturers designed a new standard of slide-out keypad that was slim, sleek, featured and functional, well made and reliable, durable hinge, track pad(optional), effective, and well spaced with great typing experience, and they added them to flagship and/or mid tier phones... Could a comeback, even if somewhat niche, of slide-out keypads be feasible in the modern smartphone industry? Why or why not? Imo, the market is there but there's no product to buy.

| Removed Android 12 customization and ui features I hope we see come back in Android 13 Posted: 03 Apr 2022 03:02 AM PDT There has been so many removed features in Android 12 with the big overhaul of android 12, which affect the customization of android here are home I think some people might want back. 1- Changing fonts, it was limited to few fonts, but it had potential to get more fonts but sadly it got removed in android 12, i hope we see the ability to change fonts back on android 13 because not all people like the default google font. 2- Adaptive Icon shapes, now that google is enabling third party developers to make themed icons getting the feature of changing the icon shape along with themed icons may look nice, so i hope we see it back for extra customization. 3- Power menu controls, i know you can access it from qs panel or lock screen, but i wish we have an option to have it in the power menu too to access it more easily and makes the power menu more personal. 4- Pitch black dark mode, in android 11 dark mode was black and this actually saved battery, but now dark mode is lighter to match the color of material you, i hope we get and option to have black dark mode. 5- Battery percentage on charging animation, it is useful i don't know why they removed it. 6- More accent colors for user to chose from, in android 11 you had many accent colors to chose from now on android 12 you only have 4 or you use dynamic color. tell me if there is more [link] [comments] | ||

| What if Samsung have had it in the end, and gave up on Exynos in favour of Qualcomm? Posted: 03 Apr 2022 04:26 AM PDT Before I ask this question: I understand the Exynos vs. Snapdragon debate. Though while Exynos sucked because Samsung used to mess up when designing and implementing (custom) CPU, (Mali) GPU, NPU and some others important things, Exynos now sucks because of two things: 1) relative lack of proper optimizations, and 2) Samsung is currently holding back their own as a semiconductor, still stepping back on retrospective and how. As of recently, Exynos 2200 are criticized two-fold: 1) overly conservative CPU, not big enough GPU for higher efficiency (resulting in compromise), ongoing lack of ray tracing support of most games, "bad" NPU (some of you got that from benchmarks), and then 2) buggy, unstable, and not properly optimized. Ray tracing support should be included eventually in games (usually AAA-level mobile game we may have had, such as Genshin Impact...), all while Samsung roll up updates that improves performance all around and improves stability all while helping to better conserve battery life. Based on my understanding with 2100 and 2200, both are proofs of concept: 2100 is totally Arm Cortex-based and have Cortex-X as the biggest core, while 2200 introduces us the Xclipse GPU (based on AMD's RDNA 2 architecture). This should be paving way for future Exynos flagship, to be enhanced with GAAFET, better ARMv9 and more, to help Samsung better compete with Qualcomm and eventually Apple for processors, especially in the long run. So we'll have to wait to see how Exynos progress forward. But as many of you may have been hating Exynos for its downsides (and yes, I'm aware of all the near-scathing criticisms towards Exynos 2200), this raises a question: what is fan demands eventually get better of Samsung? What if Samsung have had it with all the complains and downside-pointing troubles towards Exynos? What if because of these, Samsung decide to kill off the Exynos line of smartphone processors (at least in the flagships), and migrate all the efforts of making such smartphone processors towards the favor of Qualcomm's Snapdragon (such as customizing and modifying Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 series for Samsung's use...)? Just because Qualcomm has been bringing better performance, efficiency and power experience, that Exynos wasn't been able to match and compete for years? (Note: you guys would probably rejoice when Samsung kills of Exynos as a line of smartphone processors, especially if you prefers Snapdragon over Exynos!) TL;DR, the question is: What if Samsung have had it in the end, and gave up on Exynos in favour of Qualcomm? [link] [comments] |
