Every Android OS should be higher quality than previous release
Every Android OS should be higher quality than previous release
Dave Burke was interviewed during The Android Show today and shared a lot of interesting tidbits, especially around quality and performance.
With statements like that, the Onion writers will soon be out of a job
Expand dynamic color usage! Make the wallpaper use the system colors, too? 🤣 More generic and whiter icons for Google applications! Bigger buttons, until a 10" tablet feels like a 4" phone!
Oh and we need under screen everything. Fingerprint reader, camera, a whole under screen screen!
It's been a while, but I just remembered that there actually is an under screen screen. There's a smart watch with a second screen layered on top of the regular screen that it can use to draw less power: TicWatch Pro 5
Isn't it hilarious that we are at the point where we even need to say this out loud. If the release isn't better than what's out now, just don't release it yet. Why rush to something worse? Just to sell more new devices?
Yes. Capitalism is king. It doesn't need a reason other than to feed itself more profit
Maybe they should try doing that then instead of changing things for no reason that aren't broken.
There hasn't been a non disappointing android release since KitKat.
The last time I was even excited about Android was JB and KitKat
I remember how pissed everyone was when an update dropped on the Galaxy S4 which changed the lockscreen wallpaper while listening to music... it was a sad, sad day.
In a perfect world? Every OS would be of higher quality than the previous.
12L, 13 and 14 should be minor releases.
12.1, 12.2, 12.3 doesn't sound as good
That's the problem. Marketing got the final say...
Sounds like typical PR bullshit while leadership continues to force devs to rush features to the detriment of quality.
It better be. Considering that not everyone gets a pixel, fairphone, or a samsung, etc, which have guaranteed updates.
So brave
