LG Velvet is very underappreciated. It's actually one of the best midrangers right now with a sweet $599 price tag!

LG Velvet 5G is priced $599 and it offers all of this:

6.8" P-OLED 1080p display

Snapdragon 765G

128GB storage, 6GB RAM

MicroSD card slot

Stereo speakers

3.5mm headphone jack

4300 mAh battery

25W fast charging

9W wireless charging

Glass back and aluminum frame

IP68 water and dust resistance

LG didn't cut any corners on this phone. I ain't an LG shill, I own a Samsung but they deserve some appreciation on this.

The reviews on this phone seem negative, the headlines are even negativ...

The Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra do not ship with earbuds in the box!

According to the CNET [review](https://www.cnet.com/news/galaxy-note-20-ultra-ongoing-review-everything-we-love-and-dont-so-far/), neither the normal Note20 nor Note20 Ultra ship with a pair of earbuds in the box. This greatly disappointing as the AKG earbuds that Samsung used to ship in the box of flagship Galaxy phones were known for their quality....

Xiaomi shady "Xoom_for_third" folder keeps logs?

Hey everyone! I have a Redmi 6A (old and cheap) and every couple of weeks I plug it into my computer to pass some data from the phone to my PC. So yesterday I did this because I needed to transfer some images and I found a folder I have never seen in my internal storage.

Anyways, so I open it and I see it has been keeping logs every couple of days. At that moment I became paranoid and started thinking that maybe it was spying. I tried removing it, unsuccesful. So I searched it up on google. Onl...

[Ron Amadeo] Something sure seems wrong with the Pixel 4a brightness sensor. Here's a raw brightness readout app and mine (on the left) just wildly fluctuates for no reason.

If there is a light sensor under the display, I believe this is the first time Google has used an in-display unit, right? I don't recall ever seeing this on a Pixel 3 or 4.

People who switched from iPhone, what is better on Android, what do you miss? How hard was it to switch?

All the smartphones I have ever owned have been iPhones, starting in '09. I'm thinking of switching (to a one plus 8 pro) as I find iPhones overpriced and I'm not happy with their stance on game streaming.

People who have already taken the leap, what should I know? Will I miss anything from iPhone / IOS?...
