    What phone you had the best experience with haptic feedback?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 04:34 AM PST

    For me, it is the Xiaomi 11 ultra LG V60 and Oneplus 7P. I use to turn off the haptics even chance I got over the years to save a little battery and its use to annoy with keyboards. When I got the Oneplus 7P people were talking about the haptic feedback. With Oneplus 7P that was amazing during gaming but the regular system function wasn't much different from mid-tier phone haptics in my experience.

    The V60 was the 1st time I truly valued the haptics, Unlocking with a fingerprint scanner playing with camera settings and turning the volume dial in music apps felt natural.

    The Mi 11 Ultra same as the LG V60 the haptics feel natural, The interaction UI is amazing. The Haptics is not as strong in the camera app as the LG which I kinda missed.

    I feel Haptics are a bit underrated. I hope in future android updates will allow it to interact with more apps and games.

    Another (tiny but annoying) design mistake in Android 12

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 02:38 PM PST

    12 seconds video : https://imgur.com/a/6tZEmp4

    It seems completely insignificant, but this regularly tricks me into thinking that a new notification appeared in the taskbar. Nope, it's just one of the clock digits that went from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 2, or even from 9 to 0.

    Alright, it's not the end of the world and this is nothing compared to the ridiculous padding/margins that have already been discussed many times, but I can't understand how such a basic mistake (and easily fixable with a simple minimum width rule) can slip through in a product that will be shipped to billions of users.

    BIG Camera Sensor Comparison

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 02:51 PM PST

    Manufacturers should offer 5 years of updates and there's a pretty simple reason for it

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 06:43 AM PST

    Android phones in the beginning used to become basically E-waste after 3 years of use and that's no longer the case.

    The hardware holds up for a much longer time and people still are using 5 year old phones stuck on ancient android versions.

    There are options like custom ROMs but they're not for everyone

    What do you think with which phone the custom ROMs and modifications have peaked? What was the craziest thing you have seen?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 01:43 AM PST

    We are living in the age of closed bootloaders and more streamlined software so obviously the time when everyone installed custom roms have gone. Still existing but it is a niche segment. I went through the entire Galaxy S series up-to version 5, I had HTC and ZTE phones and I think the custom roms peaked with SGS3. This was mainly up-to the phone's popularity, great hardware with open bootloader and bloated, slow stock rom. However I had most fun with the SGS1. There was a thing called the rom kitchen and you could build a ROM on a website with a next-next-next wizard. It was borderline awsome.

    What do you think? Which phone had the most custom rom user?
