I'm on the android 15 beta and the performance is super good, even better than android 14 on my pixel 8. All the weird stutter has just disappeared

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm always curious whether this effect is due to optimizations or getting a fresh start.

Stutter on the pixel 8 was a very widely reported issue so I'd assume it was fixed

I just hope that there will be some good phones without a notch or punchhole in the near future. There are some out there, but they all have pretty major drawbacks (SoC, Updates, Availability outside China...).

I hope to see some mid-range phones that fit in a normal hand. In the 4-5" range.

You know what they say about guys with big hands, right?

They have big gloves.

With the bezels shrinking, I feel like 6" is also ok. The phone itself just shouldn't grow to phablet sizes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've found that it's a particular size. I do not like having a phone with case that is more than about 75 centimeters from edge to edge because then it feels somewhat uncomfortable to hold in the hand.

I guess 3/4 of a meter would be unwieldy πŸ˜…

I think Asus Zenfone was an option for that. But for the newer updated model, even they went for a larger screen.

I just got Android 14 the other day through lineage OS 21 and I'm enjoying the fact that when I pull down the notification shade now that it triggers a quick tap of the vibration motor
