Oh fuck off, Samsung. It’s because y’all have a terrible fab. Stfu and look into either disassembling it, or reworking it from the ground up.

For a change, I’d like to see them use TSMC for Exynos and see if their chip designs are terrible or it’s just solely Samsung’s fault.

There’s gotta be a better way to deal with this… Maybe offer a way to backup data and then flash this update to get the best experience?

It’s almost like Android tablets could have been more common, but Google’s insistence on ignoring them for half a decade and denying them any recognition led to a long era of only iPads and Galaxy Tabs.

TL;DR

Instead of pressing the + button to open a new note, it now expands a list that includes types of notes, which you then have to press.

(I can’t upload images here…)

Only took them a decade to realise that half the features they offer would be used more if they talked about them more often. Fucking dumbasses at Google, I swear.

If they showed Android Beam this much love, or advertised and asked for developer support of Honeycomb, we’d have people saying “beam it to me” instead of having to say “Quick Share it to me” like a fucking idiot.

Same for Lockscreen widgets, same for tablet support, same for literally every single thing they did to Android.

Dude’s a solid journalist. His teardowns are insane.

TL;DR of the TL;DR

They removed bloatware.

Why didn’t they do the same for the older model tho?

It’s gotta be Qi2. But it’s a well-known standard so why would they not mention it?

Thank you. For once, I’m happy they made a good change.

Magnetic power bank? But no mention of Qi2 support. So no magsafe implementation then.

When your entire motivation is to replicate something that you didn’t have confidence in the first time, you get Google’s Android.

No way! I wonder what changed their minds?! 🙄

DUDE I SWEAR! We already had a “Without Internet” Nearby Share. WHY DO I NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET?! WHY GOOGLE?!

Why Google releases replacement products before feature parity, I will never understand.

Unfortunate but true.

Focusing on QoL over AI would be a great idea for a while. Or at least used hard-coded automation or machine learning that functions on any device.

It’s a good way to have chats easily on hand, come on 🥲.

So, nothing important, then.

7 years of support and full bootloader unlocking support. Share the kernel and firmware properly like Xiaomi does, and we can talk.

Its difficult to stop using their devices because Xiaomi devices have exceptional hardware for the price and the ROM community is very active around their devices…
