Jeff was right. I can't go back to card style multitasking. The listview is just way more efficient. I can see everything and just get to what I need to. I hope this is not changed in the future.
Samsung takes an L though for the lack of security updates. Although I wonder what kind of additional protection that Knox provides.

Hey AndroidEra.
A relative got a Samsung Tablet, installed a bunch of apps, over 50 and now the device is overrun with ads. She's asked me if I can stop the ads from showing up all the time.
I've tried Malewarebtes, adblock browser but no success. The ads still show up whenever I try to go into one of the apps.
I've noticed some apps say ads included, but I didn't expect it to be this intrusive
I'm out of ideas

yep. uninstall all the apps. Start with the shady games and weird looking apps.
Bigger battery plz. I miss the S pen so much! Will wait to see what the Note 9 offers, but man, it better be good so I upgrade from my Z Play.

I think that's possible. The timing issues seem like they might be solvable fairly easily, and the Note audience is the sort of group you'd want to be able to tell that.
Seems like it's governor settings. Anandtech guy could get way better performance from just tweaking stuff.
I assume Samsung can address for s9 and note 9.
It feels like a microcode update could fix it for the S9, but it does lead to the question of why they haven't if it's quite that simple. It's possible it's the sort of thing that could be adjusted but they're worried about the thermal window on an existing device.
That's probably something that can be accounted for in the Note.
Phones are so boring these days that I'll try to make time to actually play the console/PC games I own and actually put $400+ down on a GPU. Not going to spend $700+ on any of those new cards coming in July/GPU - would probably just get a good bang for buck that handles plays everything in 1440p at 60 FPS.
Between God of War, RDR2, Smash Bros, and some older games in backlog, I should be in good shape.

What's next after the S845? Does the S835 have an NPU?
Looking like I'm headed back to iOS sometime this year with an iPhone 8. I absolutely refuse to buy a 6.1 inch device with a mere rear facing camera. Dual cameras or fuck off, please and thank you. My XZ1C is sitting right next to me but I miss Apple's far easier notifications, platform, and update timeliness. Granted my smartphone is no worse than top 10 android device for updates. A 256 gb iPhone 8 should drop to $500 by November right?
Next year is going to be such a great year for used smartphones:
S8 should be $300
S9 should be $500
P10 should be $300
P20 should be $400
Honor 10 should be $300
I could conceivably get three flagships for the price of one Galaxy SX premium edition/Iphone X3

You will be one of the first, but don't expect to see significant nationwide coverage before 2021.
Speaking of 5G: Looks like the OPPO Find X will be the first phone to actually support it.
The 6.1 inch iPhone X should cost north of $950.... Rumors say no 3D touch/force touch so that's non starter. I hate missing a headphone jack because it's dumb but at least my device gets the newest OS for a minimum of five years. I'll upgrade around gen 3 of life without Qualcomm. I hate the look of the X series so standard is best for me.
Hmmm always expected.more low cost models on these lists but I guess there are so many different variants that a single model doesn't stand out.
Wonder if any not Samsung or Apple flagship makes like top 100?
Those Nex phones are insane, if the cameras are decent enough Vivo just got into the game very strongly.
Anyone else with the Android P dev preview having brightness issues after the most recent update? ( Was on vacation all of last week and didn't get the update until Sun night, so I apologize if this has already been discussed.)
I normally keep my phone at ~35% brightness, but since the update I've had to set it to ~70% to get a similar appearance. I have verified that auto brightness is off (I've never used that feature).

I had this concern as well. searched it and apparently they just changed how the slider worked.
So, as someone that wants an Airpod like experience on my phone someone please walk me off the ledge of just buying Airpods.
I have the Pixel Buds but they're lacking in bass, are absolute shite at noise isolation (using them in an airport and I can barely hear my music at times), they're not that comfortable over extended periods of time, and they don't appear to be that reliable (I have a co-worker who also owns them and both of ours broke around the same time due to charging issues).
I picked up the Jaybird Runs and they have horrendous sound quality. They make the Pixel Buds sound like Audio Technicas in comparison.
So now I'm looking at the Airpods with a few hundred bucks sunk down the hole due to me avoiding them initially. I know I'll be missing out on the instant proprietary quick syncing but what else will I be missing out on by just using them as regular Bluetooth buds on an Android device?

The Airpods are great
They are definitely the most comfortable and have the best battery life and charging times, so on that front I would recommend them to anyone.
My WF-1000X's sound better though, but have some right earbud connection drops that are annoying, and the battery life is under three hours which makes them useless for a day in the office.
sounds like they work just fine: https://www.androidcentral.com/airpods-android-seriously

Reading a few reviews and the extra features seem great (particularly the fitness stuff) but I don't have a Samsung device and don't know how those apps work on a Pixel. However, the audio quality complaints remind me of the Jaybirds which I couldn't believe sounded as bad as they did.
This could have been copied and pasted from my Jaybird Run review (if I ever wrote one) but it's from the AC review of these Samsung buds.
Hmmm...
I bought a Pair of Jabra 65t's but will probably end up returning them. The sound quality is really good and they are pretty seamless to set up and easy to use, the big issue I have with them is there seems to be some audio skipping in YouTube whereas when I watch a video the audio isn't synced properly to what the person is saying.
Looks like the Xperia XZ2 Premium is coming in July: https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperi...ina_pre_orders_start_on_july_2-news-31636.php
Any charger should work for normal speed charging.
Why not just get a travel adapter at a local tech store?
I think that's what I'm going to do.
On the bright side I'm going to the UK this summer so I won't need an adapter for my phone at least!
I like how my Bose Soundsport Free earbuds sounded, but with my S9+ I started to get really bad connectivity issues (one would constantly disconnect). They also aren't noise isolating (which I kinda liked actually), the lag between audio and video for YouTube was awful (it was patched for some apps, but not YouTube whilich is a big one I use on phone. Also couldn't get them to connect to a windows computer at all, it would always register them as a mono headset and only do sound from one earbud.
I switched to a pair of the current Samsung Icon X's and they fixed all the issues I had. Audio/video lag is vastly better, I liked how each earbud has touch controls so I can use one in either ear if I want.
I'm not someone who notices poor audio quality much, so the Icon X sounds fine to me. I also pretty much only use them for podcasts, I honestly don't think I've ever used them yet for music.
