I can now only laugh about their past statements of "uwu we are losing dominance as the market leader because we can't compete with apple music on iOS, because they can offer the service for less money uwu"

All while no other service is able to compete with them on android because of their special deal lmao

There is. In the battery saver settings, while it's off, uncheck chat animations > blur in dark theme

They forgot updating the name I guess but disables transparency in light and dark mode for me

They only comply when asked by google/apple because otherwise they risk getting banned on their stores.

That's why they advice you to, on android, download the app via the web. Because there, these companies have no say and the content is unrestricted.

I've been doing mobile device management at my last company and we handed out whatever the latest a series was, to our coworkers, for especially the cost and security factor.

And with the A52 I think, they have become really really decent phones in my opinion, I really don't know what the hell the writer is fumbling about.

I mean personally it's not my favorite UI and I would take my pixel any day over it, but it worked so well and was so fluid, for a simple midrange phone. Again, not my cup of tea, but for someone like my mom or whoever just needs a phone for basic social media, calls, texts, decent camera and the web... This is perfectly fine. Now I'd still get her a pixel a series over it because the cam is just perfect imo, but if someone prefers Samsung UI, the a series is incredible.

Plus idk what their current state is but Dex might already be there? Or is coming soon? Judging by the latest Xcover that got it, which also just sports a midrange processor.
