Its all soo boring now. The two major changes I got literally yesterday was to lock out pages in te app drawer and only have a scroll and to separate quick actions and notifications...both of which were new features years ago

Nov. 2025, 10:32Yeah, so far i noticed two "new" features in Android 16; the Contacts app now lists local weather info and birthdays which is nice I guess and Themed Icons are finally not listed as being in beta anymore...
The rest is AI stuff and features that are of no use to me (which doesn't mean everything's bad but it doesn't feel like a major upgrade; more like a Pixel Feature Drop).

Nothing really useful. What I would like to see is better battery life and truly Open Source Android which can be easily degoogled and customized and works on many different devices. An entire ecosystem of Android mods, like me have for Linux. Yeah, that would be nice.

IMO the only problem with using older version are security updates, or better, lack of them.

For the low low price of supporting a sell out company that is willingly collaborating with the Trump regime, I’ll get Android 16.
Loves me some Samsung, but am too disgusted with Google.

I so don’t regret saying fuck Google this year and getting an iPhone.

These are all app features, not OS features.

I have considered it, I used to be an.amdroid fanboy but I detest the privacy invasion concerns and AI.
That said iphones look shit not and are too locked down. Considering linux

But I can’t personally look past Sundar Pichai being directly at Trump’s inauguration in the front row or how fast Google immediately caved with erasure of DEI practices.
I’ve had issues with Google since Pichai took over, but this year was just too much for me here. Yeah Tim Cook is an ass. And Apple like everyone else threw Trump bribe money to not be targeted.
Yeah Apple runs Chinese sweat shops and their products are overpriced as fuck. But with the way things are at this time, Apple is the lesser of the two evils and I can’t go against my morals and support Google anymore.
Times like these make me wish Samsung went all in on Tizen and made it actually good.

Nov. 2025, 14:25I heard they are adding a desktop mode to android 16, curious if it would be possible to use phone and have a similar experience to an actual PC by connecting monitor and mouse/keyboard, well just using a browser, at the very least.
EDIT: found it
Future updates will also bring even more productivity enhancements to Android, allowing you to connect tablets and phones to an external display for an expanded desktop experience
