| Here's a feature Android should have: Notification History! Posted: 08 May 2020 06:27 PM PDT How many times have you accidentally swiped away a notification from your shade that you didn't intend to? Wouldn't it be awesome if Google implemented some sort of history where you could see recent notifications, or even just have an undo button pop up when you swipe one away (like you see in a lot of their services)? Not a rant, just something I'm surprised that we haven't seen on Android after 10 generations. [link] [comments] | ||

| How powerful does the hardware really need to be? Posted: 08 May 2020 06:25 PM PDT The majority of apps that run on Android require low processing power and memory. The only exception to this would be video games. For the average user the applications they depend on would work perfectly fine on today's phones as they would on a phone created 5 from now. I have a Samsung S10e at the moment. I've been thinking about the point of upgrading and can't find any. All the applications on the play store require basic processing power as they don't do intensive tasks. Of course there is the camera upgrades and screen quality. Those are the only benefits I can really find when it comes to upgrading. I see these videos of benchmarks on YouTube. It's basically a guy opening a calculator app or mail and comparing two phones with extremely decent processors. This is so silly in my opinion because a calculator app will work just as fast on a phone dated 5 years ago compared with today's latest. Am I missing something here? It seems like the hardware requirements for most applications have been met years ago and any further advancements in terms of hardware processing power is trivial. Why? Because the applications are not resource intensive and won't make use of the advancements. Gaming applications are the only exception to this point. I don't think gaming applications are the driving factor behind consumers making the choice to buy a flagship phone though. I do understand people buy new phones to get update support as well. However the specs on phones these days are incredible and maybe there will no need for any further advancements from a hardware perspective. What's your opinion? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 08 May 2020 08:21 AM PDT I'm just curious here. I bought this phone last August, and overall am very happy with it. I like having the two cameras (standard and wide angle) on the front. But this post speaks about the 3D depth sensor. On the front and back camera arrays. I noticed after an update a few weeks ago that my face unlock was working more like 70% of the time instead of like 40% pre update. I also noticed the dim red light in the array that flickers while it's scanning, similar to how my ipad pro scans via FaceID. So I googled it, and found out they finally enabled this sensor to work for unlock instead of the gimmicky live focus video. I cant figure out why they didn't do this at the start, and why they didnt invest more time to develop it and implementing it on future devices. Kinda disappointed they went to 1 camera hold-punch in newer devices. After re-registering my face, it works about 80% of the time, about as accurate as the 'ultrasonic' fingerprint sensor, but faster and less finnicky when it works. Now: it is not as good as FaceID, which on my iPad works about 95% of the time in all lighting and weird angles, but significantly better and more secure than the optical face recognition on older Samsung and Android devices. Presumably, could be as good as FaceID and (I suppose, never used before) the Pixel face unlock. I just think if we're paying more for phones, we should get all the features, cameras, and sensors available, not less. [link] [comments] |
