Im still waiting for the flashlight dimmer 😂 the suspense is pretty hot though
My phone does everything I need to do.All the time every day.I don't know what your on. 25ultra
Scamdroid. It used to be free and open and trivially rootable. Now its more or less closed, infected with spyware and tracks and spies and boot loader is locked, and unlocking it causes a wipe and apps can detect if you are allowed to use your own computer or not. /etc/hosts is not user manageable forcing the use of VPNs to clean out ads. I spit on google, i spit on android and apple, and hope brax or someone else can figure out how to give the users their own computers back along with privacy.
What are they smoking?
About AOSP I didn't think Google doing right for the community, why can't release AOSP as same day which release Android stable like before?
And this is why I love ios updates they are more straightforward
I like your channel but this type of videos…extremely BORING!!! 😂 Nerds 🤓 can't make these updates to be easy to understand and everyone else…don't care anymore. 😒😵â€ðŸ’«ðŸ¥±ðŸ’€
Never been consistent since I use Android in 2013. Too many brands and UIs
