| I think Google is rolling out RCS to dual SIM phones! Posted: 10 Jan 2020 07:33 PM PST Hi guys. I'm a messages (beta) user. Today I got "chat features->status: connected" on my dual SIM phone! Also got a verification code from Google. I think Google is finally rolling out RCS support to dual SIM card phones!?

| New “Google Sans Text” font could be a future Roboto replacement Posted: 10 Jan 2020 01:56 PM PST In the Google Design's Best of 2019 page, Google used a new font called Google Sans Text (which is seemingly in beta). This font could be a future replacement for text in the Google Material Theme since Roboto is getting old and that the classic Google Sans is better suited for headers or titles. You can see what it looks like in the Google Design's Best of 2019 page. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Galaxy S8 active very underrated phone of 2017 Posted: 10 Jan 2020 11:26 AM PST The s8 active has been a tank of a phone for me I really like it especially when I added a tempered glass screen protector and a military grade proof case 😁! I wish Samsung updated it to andriod 10 one UI 2 or at least made a s9 active or S10 active [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tip: Hamburger menu swipe in Android 10. Posted: 10 Jan 2020 03:38 AM PST So I just got the android 10 update on my phone and well, it's okay I guess. There's nothing quite game changing... But the thing that I liked and disliked the most is the gesture navigation. It's just the swipe from the edge for back that fucks with my hamburger menus annoys me a lot. I looked for it online and people have suggested diagonal swipes and L/J swipes. And they work at times, just not all the time. So I tried different ways and found one way that works 100% of the time for me. Just hold any part of the screen with one thumb and swipe from the edge with the other thumb. No more accidental back swipes.Cheers! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Reasons for upgrading from an older (~2yr old) high-end flagship? Posted: 10 Jan 2020 01:12 AM PST This post is being written following a break in a tradition which has left me feeling rather inquisitive about the reasons why some of us upgrade our phones so often. I currently own the Note 8. Since the iPhone 4 (my first and only Apple device), I've owned predominantly Samsung's Note devices, from the Note II, all the way to the current Note 8. I did own a Nexus 6P in the middle to try out Google for a while though. Unlike previous years though, where I have upgraded my device as soon as the 2 year contract was up, this time around I've held on, and have no intention in doing so until a worthy successor is revealed. Here's the thing though; The phones may change, but the apps we use on a day-to-day basis are still exactly the same. I got to use a friend's Note 10+ for about an hour when my Note 8's battery died. I spent a while on WhatsApp, was on Reddit for around 30 mins, and the rest on YouTube. So what compels you to go out and buy a new phone? I had my Note 8's battery repaired under warranty about a month ago so that issue is no longer a problem. Apps look the same, the OS isn't that much more different when compared to the previous one. The new feature I'm excited for are the higher refresh-rate screens, particularly the S20 that's out in a few months - the Pixel 4 would have been the one I upgraded to if it hadn't been such a mess!

| Motorola's market segmentation is a mess. Posted: 10 Jan 2020 11:42 AM PST Let's take a quick look at their upper-midrange:
So I get it, each phone can have a strength. But why can't they get a few more things in common? For example? Why don't they all have Band 71 support? Why is a notification LED on one but not the others? Either do it for all or dump it - it isn't "the" distinctive feature of the phone. BTW Notification LEDs for life. The Hyper and Action seem very similar in their target users/camera features. What is the main differentiator? Zoom has zoom, and z4 is newer (but doesn't have Android 10...) It is just confusing as Hell to me what the product managers are thinking. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Crop document option appeared in Google Photos today Posted: 10 Jan 2020 12:43 PM PST I don't know if this came through a server-side update or from an app update. It's a very hidden option. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Flagship phones numbered by year Posted: 10 Jan 2020 05:36 AM PST Though not confirmed, Samsung is rumoured to make the right move with naming their 2020 flagship "Galaxy S20". This should be followed by all the OEMs (who do not make incremental update devices) to make marketing effective for a larger percentage of consumer base confused with various naming schemes.
