    I like how there's a screenshot notification, too! Haha

    What phone is this, by the way? And how's your experience been?

    Yeah I tried taking a screenshot first but as you can see the screenshot doesn't include the panel.

    This is a PinePhonePro, the experience is surprisingly usable except for one major thing, the battery life is terrible.

    Wether that is specific to the PPP, PostmarketOS or if my phone is defective but after like an hour of use the battery is already drained and even in standby the battery won't last more then 6 hours or so.

    There are some minor things here and there but that is the main reason i can't use it as a daily driver.

    Oh that's brutal... Damn sucks to hear that. I'd love to have a functioning Linux phone.

    I’m an iOS user but stock android is the only one that’s any good in my view. There’s no reason that notifications should pull down over the current view but control center should float on top of it. It’s weirdly inconsistent. Also pretty much everything about notifications on Android is better, which is a shame since it’s pretty core to the user experience.

    Man I think Android is the worst of these!

    You have to pull that shitty drawer down twice, then swipe through pages. I hate it.

    There’s no reason changing your brightness needs to be that terrible.

    Back when I was using android, you could swipe down with two fingers to get right to the settings

    It was even better when you could differentiate between swiping the left or right half of the status bar down to go to settings or notifications. That might have been a cyanogenmod thing though.

    Android got rid of the wifi toggle. Now its a submenu of the internet tab, which is a toggle for the internet. Google's developers don't understand phones because they think disabling internet access is more important than disabling wifi.

    They also renamed "do not disturb" to "modes".

    The fuck is that supposed to be?! I was panicking the first time I tried to DND my phone after that, hunting for something while needing to not have my phone interrupt... Whatever I was doing, movie or concert starting, doesn't matter. I hate the new name and still haven't gotten used to it.

    What exactly is the point of the volume slider in the control panel? You have two wonderful buttons for that...

    The volume in the menu is more granular than you can get with the buttons.

  • I would personally argue theres no need to reinvent the wheel just for the sake of being different. As of now we dont really have something that looks better of funtions better (on mobile) so thats what companies embrace.

    The latest version of Android looks even more like an iPhone than what is pictured.

    Ice Cream Sandwich was the best release IMO

    Everything’s computer iOS

    I think that’s actually part of the reason they are doing Liquid Glass. Everything looks like iOS in its current state. Supposedly the compute required to calculate the light refractions in iOS 26 will make it more difficult to copy. This is not an endorsement of Liquid Glass. Just what I’ve heard… though personally I don’t dislike it.

    Not a very popular opinion, but I actually love this design. Especially google pixel's.
