Ross Young on Twitter: The reason the Pixel 4a can be $349 with an AMOLED is that it is rigid rather than flexible which is less than 1/3 the cost. Smart move by Google, cache of OLED at a much lower price. Apple resisted rigid due to dual source desire and smaller chin...

G8 Power BROKEN on Verizon/Sprint/T-Mobile (Android 10 from Google Fi)

Google Fi's G8 Power is not a truly "unlocked" phone. There have been [many reports](https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleFi/comments/i335m4/back_to_verizon_from_fi_moto_g_power_no_lte_data/) of failure to connect to mobile data on Verizon/Sprint/T-Mobile. They will be able to make calls and texts, but not browse the web.

The problem is not hardware related. It is because the Google Fi ROM firmware (the Google Fi themed version of Android 10) has somehow locked the APN settings to only use Google Fi ...

New look for Google Messages?

Hi all

I noticed something interesting recently that I wanted to share.

While my girlfriend was showing me her phone, I noticed that her version of Google Messages had a new colour scheme, both for the contact icons and the message colours themselves.

This confused me as I am running the beta version of the app (`6.5.069`) while she is running the stable version (`6.3.054`). I tried doing some research online but nobody seems to have noticed or posted about a new design refresh recently.

Her...

Samsung did optimize the Exynos 990 on the Note 20 series?

[https://youtu.be/CrPqHKpDmh4](https://youtu.be/CrPqHKpDmh4)

So in the video, after 30 minutes of playing Arena of Valor, the SoC was relatively cool (below 40C) on the front and the back.

In another game, PUBG, Exynos 990 kept a **stable** framerate of 40fps at the **max setting** it supports at the moment (HDR + 40fps), and 60fps with **very few drops** in the lowest setting.

Hmmm, seems like Samsung really tried to optimize the Exynos 990 on the Note series... Great! At least people in Eur...

Hey Reddit, I'm back to answer your questions about the Note20/Note20 Ultra

Due to how Reddit works I decided to make a new post.

u/Feisty_Camel

*"1-Did you feel any difference between the glass back of the ultra and the glastic one on regular one?*

*2-How noticable is the latency difference between the 2 spens?"*

**1-Yes there's a noticeable difference, it feels cheaper but I wouldn't mind if it came with the same screen as the Ultra, and perhaps better cameras but as is stands the base Note 20 is a waste of money**

**2- It's very noticeable in a...
