    storage fluctuations on galaxy a13 running android 12

    I would suggest returning and getting the 5GA13 for the extra storage capability. Even if not using 5G, the extra storage really seems to make a difference even with just basic functions.

    Starting a movement: Tell Samsung “Make small budget phones!”

    Like everything, companies only make things which generate additional profits. If the majority of people will accept the A series as-is, then absolutely zero reason to add further variations. I'm sure part of the logic is that anyone really wanting a smaller Galaxy can also spend the extra money...

    Android Messages and iMessage reactions

    Here's where the argument gets lost on me, what does RCS allow or provide for over SMS/MMS and what does it have to do with public safety? Additionally, what does any of this have to do with data? As we shutdown 3G and move to 4G/LTE for VoLTE aspect, we have to use more data anyways. This is...

    Android Messages and iMessage reactions

    I use Android/iOS devices pretty interchangeably. My family is exclusive to iOS while clients are both Android/iOS devices. Other than Facetime, I don't get the reason everyone is upset about iOS features vs Android features such as iMessage vs SMS/MMS if for me it's just about texting. What...

    Pixel 6a

    For me, even though I'm on the 5a, one major draw of the "a" series has been the battery life. My first was 3a, then current 5a which if the lineup continues, will hopefully be followed by 7a next year. I'm a fan of mid-tier devices and these have so far been a great value.

    Android 13 Update Now Available

    For my simple usage, I'm not really noticing any big difference. Layout seems a slight bit different. Overall, I'm still enjoying the overall performance of my 5a over my Galaxy A13 5G all things considered. I use both devices for the 5G aspect over my XR since AT&T 3G shutdown has made LTE...

    pixel 6a pre-orders

    You can either use the physical SIM from Google Fi or download the eSIM which is what I did. I use physical SIM for my AT&T line.

    pixel 6a pre-orders

    The 60 Hz rate has been fine on my 5a but maybe I'm just a normal everyday guy. I'm waiting for the 7a but excited to see the 6a pre-order with Tensor chip. To anyone considering any Pixel, if you're thinking of upgrading or switching carriers, I'd suggest looking at the Google Fi offer for the...
