Happy weekend!

There has been a lot of news related to benchmarking lately, including an admission by Google that they blocked Play Store downloads of benchmarking apps during the Pixel 8 review embargo, as well as fresh chips coming down the pipeline by Qualcomm and MediaTek.

Discussion questions:

  • Do smartphone benchmarks matter?
  • Are they still a useful reference and do you consider them when shopping for an upgrade?

Hello, Android community! Let's kick off a discussion on app organization and decluttering πŸ“±πŸ§Ή. How often do you clean up your app lists, and what are some apps you have recently removed?

We all tend to accumulate various apps over time, and it's helpful to review and prune the list regularly. So, how do you approach this task?

  • Do you have a set schedule, or do you clean up whenever you notice your app list getting too cluttered?
  • Do you use any tools or techniques to figure out what to remove?
  • Are there particular types of apps that you find yourself removing more frequently?
  • Is there any feature or functionality you wish were built into Android OS?

Feel free to share any tips or strategies you employ to keep your app list tidy.
