Are you here for phone news? Does that belong here?
Are you here for phone news? Does that belong here?
I'm interested in Android itself. The software. Custom ROMs, apps, security and privacy, beta reviews, upcoming features, whatever.
That's what the sidebar of this community also says.
However, my timeline is full of
"Rumors say, manufacturer XY might might bring out a new foldable, this time with a higher refresh rate display! 😳😱
or something like that.
I already have a phone. A very new one. I won't buy one in at least the next 7 years. Especially not a new fancy gimmicky toy like those ones.
Is this on purpose? Do you like what you see?
Phone news and discussions about android and its ecosystem are the only reason I'm here.
Rumours are also a part of that. But, unless you can quantify true and false rumours. They are a part of news. But, I get what you are saying. You can share news, reviews, new features, etc and upvote those when someone posts them in this community.
I see where you come from. I'm also not that interested in phone news per se. Okay, let's start a thread about custom ROMS.
Edit: just posted it
The comments are the place to be on news posts. So we can discuss those features to decide which ones are stupid and which are worthwhile.
This shouldn't be the only thing here, of course. But some subjects don't evolve as rapidly. News happens every day on every subject. Custom ROMs update every few weeks, and usually aren't important enough updates to care about.
Rumours are a fundamental part of the news cycle, whether it be Android or whatever, because a fair amount of the time they turn out to be facts?
