      Wily2021, 16 Feb 2021This thing has to be a joke, it looks hideous. When Google ... moreSame old hideous notch, same old hideous grid of icons on the homescreen... looks extremely inelegant and low class. Even Apple themselves are highly ashamed of that notch.
      That's why they keep showing pictures of their iphones with wallpapers that black out the top of the screen to hide the ugly putrid notch that makes the phone's bezel look grossly asymmetrical. Such incompetent amateurs!

        Welcome back, Samsung Smart Rotation! Well, even if Google's implementation is a copy of that feature (which worked very well but was taken down because of all these tech news sites complaining about their software being bloated), it is good to see it making a return.

                      [deleted post]Lol, almost all Xiaomi phones models who received Android 11 have problems with it. Just go on Xiaomi phone pages here on this site and see for yourselves. Also on facebook related topics for those who have facebook.
                      As usual, Xiaomi phones (with few exceptions, like the more expensive models) are good until they receive the first major update. Then the small problems start to appear. Lol.
                      And people are praising this sh*tty company like is the best thing that happened to mobile industry. The only thing good about their phones is that they are cheap. That’s why they sold lots of phones. Quality has nothing to do with it. Lol.

                            Heck they got the ability to set third party apps as default after 10 years.

                            And they'll get Always on display in iPhone 13. These basic features have existed on Android for decades.

                            You say Android Marshmallow is better than iOS 14. I say even Android Gingerbread (2.3) is more advanced than iOS 14. This iOS troll simply cannot handle reality

                                      Gaming mode has existed on all other Android skins for quite a while now.

                                      And yet some people in 2021, still believe that Stock Android is the best... SMH.
