    Proper artist pages, albums, singles, and discographies

    In an app? I'm not sure that I can think of one like that, especially with the Winamp skin style.

    Honestly, it wouldn't be too hard to find a PWA and reskin it yourself.

    As someone that got the X6 Pro a pair of years ago - great to see them fixing two of my biggest gripes, namely them using a non-Snapdragon chipset, and the battery being so small.

    I don't have any Android apps for this. But I hope you can find an app like that, because frutiger aero apps on any platform these days, are sort of inconsistent to find.

    TL;DR

    • Samsung is reportedly considering using an Exynos 2700 on the Galaxy S27 Ultra.

    • Samsung’s internal testing shows the newly launched Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 runs too hot and throttles.

    • Both companies are working on solving these issues, but the schedule is tight.

    Qualcomm also reached out to the website. Hopefully, its not a repeat of 810 and 8 gen 1.

    Update, October 16, 2026 (5:51 PM ET): Unsurprisingly, Qualcomm has taken issue with the Seoul Economic Daily’s report, and does not believe that its chips are experiencing the performance issues described within. A company spokesperson has reached out to Android Authority with a statement:

    Recent reporting about thermal issues related to Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 is inaccurate. We are proud of the innovation and strong momentum behind our next-generation flagship platform and continue to work closely with global OEMs to deliver premium user experiences.

    What's android 17 called?

    Android 17, walled garden.

    Android 17, anti-user.

    Android 17, no side-loading.

    I'll be looking at ancient second hand phones when I mext buy, and I'm hoping something better than android eventually comes along.

    That would depend on whether the open source developers are going to continue developing for what was previously Android or what is currently Android. I guess it would depend on what market they're after.

    If that's the case, then its name would have to change, because otherwise, if you search for Help Developing Android Apps, then you're going to get Google's locked down version of Android, whatever it ends up being. So, if it's Graphene OS, or Lineage OS, or whatever, it will have to be named something other than Android Open Source Project.

    Well, it's more acceptable than offering an update that is known to effectively brick the device if it fails. This device is fucked by poor planning - just avoid Sony in the future, because this is unlikely to change with future devices.

    Again, the issue wouldn't be that it's hard to make the new system image work, it would be that the old one will be broken, so if anything goes wrong, it will not be available as a fallback. I think this even goes against Google's requirements for Android - you can prevent the user from booting the older versions after an update, but the updated system must first be confirmed to be working (so the right way to do this is to boot into the new OS, and have it do the compatibility-breaking change - but this order is not possible if Sony doesn't have enough space in the system partition for the new OS).

    But those sound like software problems? Like, yeah, probably pretty tricky, but, it's their source code, so, figure it out?

    I guess forcing a factory reset is pretty rough, but, at least give the option.

    It's crazy to me that it's considered acceptable to just.. not do anything.
