Essential Official Android Thread

Oneplus does things differently than Samsung. Been Samsung gang for so long this is weird.

Ordered the OnePlus 12 yesterday. Trading an old flip phone for $100 off and they were already running an additional $100 off preorder promo for the 512GB 16GB ram version. Couldn't pass up that phone for $700.

You can't go wrong with the S24 but if you're trying to save a few hundred for similar specs (and a better OS imo) OnePlus is a good alternative to Pixel and S24

Samsung gave me a discount on the Buds FE for buying the S24 Ultra and with a trade in and that discount plus a sale I got these for $45 and some change. I love them. They're exactly what you'd think they were which is the original style Buds+ with ANC. I never really liked the Buds2 Pro so I might dump those and just keep these.

 

[Deltron]

the ultra is sleek

copped the FE and a smart tag during my pre-order

Is there a good video that teaches you tricks with the S Pen?

 

[RennisDeynolds]

I thought Buds Pro 3 would be out by now tbh. I'm disappointed.

Still rocking to og buds pro I got for free with my s21 ultra

Google’s Gemini assistant is a fantastic and frustrating glimpse of the AI future

A smarter voice assistant has arrived on Android.

TL;DR: As long as you have 4GB RAM & Android 12, you can replace Google Assistant w/ Gemini on your phone.

I heard they've been dumbing down assistant in favor of this anyway. I ain't changing though that AI shyt is going to be singing the fukk out of your data, I really don't need that shyt learning lmao
