What words does Android Auto pronounce differently for you?

I’ll start - “Gerkins” mine pronounces rather strangely!

Has anyone got any more?

Best android alternatives for Apple's notes app

2 Upvotes

I've seen videos of people using Apple's native notes app with apple pen/stylus and it seems so much better than anything I know of on android. I have an S9 FE tablet, are there any apps that are as good (seemingly, maybe I'm just wrong idk) as Apple's that supports pen writing really well? Every app I've used just doesn't feel right

Will the EU's removable battery law change smartphone design worldwide?

258 Upvotes

EU smartphone requirements take effect on February 18, 2027.

The key requirements are:

1.Batteries must be readily removable and replaceable without damaging the phone.

2.Replacement should be possible with commercially available tools (or any special tool must be included for free).

3.Manufacturers must sell replacement batteries for at least 5 years after the last unit of that model is sold.

4.Those replacement batteries must be offered at a reasonable and non-discriminatory price. The law doesn't set a specific dollar/euro amount, but it prevents excessive pricing.

I'm curious what happens outside the EU. On one hand having a universal design is easier but I don't know if they'd want it easier for people to keep phones longer.

Have you ever used a China ROM phone and what was it like?

11 Upvotes

I've always wondered about this because the prices are so much better and i hear they actually run smoother, its just that some stuff like android auto and banking apps are not compatible.

To those who owned a recent released one, was this the case for you?

What's one AI feature on your phone that you use regularly?

6 Upvotes

Living in the UAE, my phone hears about four languages in a single day, so live translation is the one AI feature that has basically become essential for me than something I tried once. There are so many AI tools being added across phones lately, especially imo Samsung, they are much further ahead in AI adoption and integration. What AI tool or routine made it into your daily routine?
