Google’s Android, the world’s most widely used mobile operating system, started life as open-source software. In its quest for ever-greater profits, the tech giant has been gradually eroding Android’s open-source nature over the last decade.

android peaked with the pixel 2. then everyone went overboard on bezel-less displays and fast refresh rates and smart assistant services and brought the whole damn thing crashing down.

Fast refresh rates are amazing. I cherished my old Razer Phone 2.

I think it varies from person to person. My gf can't tell the difference at all, even when she really tries, neither can a friend of mine (who also use the most insane jerky screen settings on his TV). For me, I can't imagine going back to 60hz ever again. It feels like something is physically wrong with my phone if I turn 120hz off.
