Android 12’s internal dessert name to be Snow Cone, may feature one-handed mode

16 February 2021
Android no longer uses dessert names for its Android releases, but it’s still fun to talk about.

Actually, to be brutally honest, does the internal names of Android versions really matter anymore at this point? I seem to not think so.

          Its missing so many things that one realizes only after switching back to Android.

          But don't get me wrong, I love Appple products... They make me a lot of money. No shortage of gu|lible people who buy b|indly because it is an iPhone...

                  It still uses OpenGL for games

                  UI smoothness is not upto iOS levels, i am not talking about speed.

                  Updates are notoriously difficult for OEMS

                  Game drivers are not updatable like Windows

                  Being Java based means improper utilisation of resources

                  IOS has better RAM decompression




                  But I would still take Android anyway.

                      If you asked me 5 years ago, how I would choose my smartphone, I would have put UI as one of the top properties, bit now honestly I don't care, as long it has decent battery and better cameras.


                      Honestly everyone has improved, Oppo and Vivo used to be dreadful, but they have vastly improved and more polished than ever before, same with MIUI and TouchWiz which became excellent OneUI

                                  Still waiting for a better Desktop Mode interaction. I would definitely love to see the ability to use fully legit Chrome OS when using Desktop Mode, even if it's just a Pixel-exclusive feature.

                                      Weird, 16 Feb 2021Exactly! People love stock android but now, almost a lot of... moreStock ROM skips practically all the useful features that are more likely to be present on other Android skins (irrespective of whether they are light or heavy skins).

                                      People who brag about stock ROM being better usually lack experience of using different Android skins (especially skins from 2020).

                                      I have used All type of phones as daily driver in the past decade.
                                      About 30-40 phones over a period of time, mostly flagships.
                                      In 2020, I'll rather use one ui, miui, zen ui, Color OS based Androids over stock OS which lacks latest features and is basically playing catchup.
