    Samsung Galaxy A52 review

    Google should advertise Nearby Share more

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 06:52 AM PDT

    iPhones' AirDrop aren't an advantage over Android anymore since Nearby Share was released but from my experience, most of my friends don't even know what Nearby Share is.

    There have been alot of situations where I asked someone to send me data and vice versa and they ask "Shareit?" and while Shareit works fine, it's incredibly slow. I always say "I prefer Nearby Share" and then they ask "What is that?" then I tell them about the feature and how to turn it on.

    I really appreciate Nearby Share, but I think they should've gave it a different name since the name "Nearby Share" doesn't sound significant. I think the name should've been something memorable and "cool"

    Apple's "AirDrop" is incredibly popular and people now consider it as a verb. You must've heard sentences like "Hey, John, AirDrop me those photos you showed me last week"

    To add, I think Google should've added a tutorial that teaches you how to use Nearby Share when going to the settings to turn it on. The process of sending data is similar to AirDrop but alot of Android users aren't familiar with it. I personally looked up how to use Nearby Share on Google since I had no clue on how to use it

    This is an unpopular opinion and it doesn't make Nearby Share bad, but I personally think Google should let more people know that they have an equivalent to AirDrop

    Why is every manufacturer making fancy new ways to charge instead of just giving better batteries?

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 06:49 AM PDT

    If there's anything I've learned having used my Galaxy S8 for the last 5 years (4?), it's that running out of battery sucks.

    I hate having to remember to top out my phone before I leave the house. It sucks having to turn down everything to save my last 15%.

    Sure, some of that is age, but some of that is just phone manufacturers putting more weight and R&D into cool ways to charge (how many new names for fast charging can you patent?) Instead of just putting a bigger battery inside.

    And this is really only a flagship problem. Companies like Samsung dont mind putting a 6000mah battery in their budget phones, but god forbid if I want the best camera AND the best battery. Especially if I'm paying $1000.

    All the reviews of the Oneplus 9 pro seem to say that the battery is okay, and that they used quickcharge as a crutch.

    The ROG phone is more or less the only high end contender, but you have to deal with a subpar camera and bad software updates.

    What's with this? Phones are skyrocketing in price, but I still can't get a huge battery AND an amazing camera.

    TL:DR - Shove more battery in phones instead of introducing quickcharge 11.111

    Ask Me Anything about the OnePlus 9 Pro or ASUS ROG Phone 5!

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 11:05 AM PDT

    Hi Reddit,

    I'm back again with an AMA on two phones you may be interested in: the OnePlus 9 Pro and the ASUS ROG Phone 5.

    I've done an extensive general review for the former and a gaming review for the latter on XDA, but if you have any specific questions about either of these two devices, feel free to ask away! I'll answer as many questions as I can today but will continue to respond to comments as they come in (though the frequency of responses may slow down.)

    Before deciding on your current phone, which others were on your shortlist?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2021 12:33 AM PDT

    The Oneplus 9 announcements reminded me that I seriously considered getting the OP7Pro, along with Galaxy Note 9, Xiaomi Mi 9T, and Nubia Z20. My search criteria on gsmarena was "notchless OLED".

    Price, updates, and local warranty were the crucial factors why the other phones ultimately didn't get the rose. The Mi 9T woulda been the one if they officially sold them in Canada, though I think about "What coulda been" with the Note 9 the most.

    Which phones were your final candidates, and how did you decide which ones didn't make the cut?

    The Notch: marketing and buyers going mad?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2021 04:14 AM PDT

    Few days ago I decided, because of battery end of life issue, to change my phone (a Galaxy S8).

    So for the first time in years, I checked all the recent phones on the market.

    I was horrified to see the phone offer. The jack is dissappearing (but this is another topic), and now... Every phone has a f#### hole in the screen. So, I decided to buy the Sony Xperia 5 II which has both a jack and a full screen. Thanks Sony to produce quality phones when the other brands forget how to make a complete screens.

    When I watch the magnificent 120Hz HDR screen of my new phone, I'm happy to see there is no dead pixel. Do you know why? Because if I saw one - ONE - I mean 1, which is the number just above 0, dead pixel I would have declared the screen defective and returned the phone. Because having one dead pixel in 2021 is unacceptable.

    However, looking at the phone offer over the few last years, I can tell that the marketing departments of all major companies and the buyers agree that it's ok to sell phones with holes (or notch) in the screen, which is an unlighted area of the screen, like if there was a hundred of dead pixels.

    I know it's about who has the biggest screen ratio and the selfie camera. But how people prefer that above having a complete screen? Am I the only one to find this silly?
