bruhh can someone tel the brand of the hoodie he is wearing🔥
Love seeing fresh perspectives and personalities. Love the longer format as well. Namaste Tshaka!
I'm a casual watcher of Android Central content, just wanted to say I would love to see more of this guy!
I use Lawnchair, which is closest to pixel launcher
Welcome 🙂
Finally a person of color on AC.
Already love this guy just from the intro
Nice to see a new face and energy on the channel! Keep it up, Tshaka.
Meh too long
The host is great, however the app selection is really basic and non essential. These are all well known apps with even better alternatives available, also no one should promote a photo editing, video call and customization app which has a monthly subscription model. There are much better alternate apps that have one time purchase business model in these categories, which makes alot more sense for almost all apps except streaming services.
Also, the video is too long for such a basic list.
Great video great addition to the team. Looking forward to more videos from this guy
RIP DOOM❤️
I think neutron player is a very good music player app. It is very sophisticated and has an abundance of customizing options you might like. Even a custumization for crossfeed used for playback on hesdphones
Every of my Android phone I always install MX Player
I like Microsoft's launcher. It syncs my desktop wallpaper, alows me to have way more icons on my screens and many more quick launch icons on the bottom.
Man his voice is annoying
Great information! Will VLC and MX players work for creating a music library on a computer with songs copied from CD's and then copying that library to phone?
Apparently we have a lot of MF DOOM fans here. AWESOME! How many of you know who he was BEFORE he was MF DOOM and can name a sing he recorded before he donned the mask? Without using Google search!🤣
If no one answers this by tomorrow, I'll jump back in with the info!
Great to see a new face around! Love the METAL FINGERS hoodie.
With that DOOM shirt, you are already my fave! Much succes!
Good review and precise app selection. I'd say add Photoshop camera on the camera section instead of open camera.
Nice u rock 🔥
I like the new host. He held my attention throughout the video which is tough to do these days honestly.
Seriously? It's 2021 and you are filming your phone with a videocamera? Have you ever heard of screencapturing? Plus, you forgot to warn people against ever using ANY subscription based software!
Nice presentation , bad recommendations
