    Google marks AOSP IssueTracker for Split-Screen Downgrade as "Won't Fix - Cannot Reproduce"

    Posted: 12 Jun 2022 07:00 AM PDT

    200+ stars and tons of comments. . It was one of their biggest AOSP complaints/bugs/issues ever and yesterday it was marked "won't fix, cannot reproduce" by a Google employee.

    For those unaware - this was users requesting Google add back the ability to switch what apps are in split screen mode, access your home screen and app drawer while keeping one app open, etc like Android7-Android11. Anyone with an up-to-date Android12 device will notice losing this ability in favor of "paired apps".

    The update hit Pixel devices in early December/January and most other other brands will get it shortly.

    Thoughts on Samsung Galaxy A53 5G

    Posted: 12 Jun 2022 06:26 AM PDT

    After having been on the lookout for a longwhile, I finally settled on the midranger Samsung Galaxy A53 5G. I was able to snag a student discount for 389EUR, which offered free Galaxy Buds Live, 50 EUR reimbursed, and 50EUR Play Store credits. One of the primary reasons to go for this, rather than the slightly faster A52s 5G.

    Here are my thoughs after having spent a few days on the device.

    Pros:

    • Display (800 nits, 120Hz or 60Hz, sAMOLED)
    • 4 years of OS updates (upto Android 16), 5 years of security updates
    • 5000mAh battery
    • Decent camera system with OIS for the primary lens
    • IP67 (dust/water resistant upto 1 meter for 30 mins)

    Cons:

    • Bloatware (not just Samsung, even Office app cannot be uninstalled - though I plan on using it)
    • No headphone jack
    • No charger in box
    • Quite a thick phone (although not heavy due to plastic usage)
    • In display fingerprint reader is not as snappy as the side-mounted ones.

    ​

    Right of the bat, the 6.5" screen will dominate, setting up the device is pretty straightforward if you use Samsung Smart Switch app.

    Also the colours of the display are calibrated a little too vivid (for my liking), though it can be changed in the settings app. The haptic motor does not feel low grade. The speakers are good, stereo with the earpeace doubling as the second speaker. It's adequate for watching Netflix.

    You can open a bunch of apps and not have any lags caused by memory. However the phone won't feel as snappy as a OnePlus 8 for instance. It's not noticeable as a day to day user, but if you measure them side by side it's visible.

    This year Samsung opted for their in-house Exynos 1280 rather than a Snapdragon. Benchmark tests show the Samsung SOC performing noticeably below Snapdragon SOC on last year's A52s. For instance, if you play COD Mobile, A52s will perform better than A53 (you also have the headphone jack on the A52s).

    On the app side, Samsung shoving their apps down your throat can feel overwhelming. Google messages comes preinstalled, yet it's impossible to uninstall Samsung's messages app. Given Android's tweakability though it's simple to change the default applications for most things, including the dialler. But simple tasks are overcomplicated.

    For instance, even changing the shape of the icons from the default rounded square to circle can feel overwhelming with hundreds of 'paid' app icons available and it necessitates you to install an icon pack. Motorola on the other hand allows you to change the shape of icons (with just 4-5 options available) without any installation required.

    But once you're over this hump of setting up your device to your liking after all the customisations, the device feels nice to hold and use. I don't game on my phone, it's primarily for calls, messages and scrolling on social media. Given that, the A53 was a much better option than the rest.

    Take for instance Motorola's G83 5G, amazing phone, with headphone jack, Android 12, fast charger in the box, stock UI, albeit with a Snapdragon 600 series SOC which performs below Exynos 1280 in benchmark tests. However, it provides quarterly security updates and provides just one major OS update. With such a poor update policy, the device did not appeal to me for long term usage.

    Furthermore, OnePlus' recent Oppofication of their OS and sky-high prices with poor software imaging, did not appeal to me.

    That left me with the Pixel, but given how buggy the Pixel 6 with their recent Tensor SOC has been, I did not want to gamble on the Pixel 6A. Also surprisingly, Samsung is offering a better update policy than even Pixel.

    Taking all that into account, the Samsung A53 5G seemed like the perfect choice.

    Thoughts?
