Whilst Google announced a ton of AI powered features for Android 14 at Google I/O, it seems like most of them will be Pixel exclusive…
Hoping Samsung does more with OneUI 6 since Google’s really pushing for Pixel exclusivity on Android now 🙄
Android 14 is the most underwhelming updated yet. Google didn’t even promote it well on I/O. About OneUI 6, I just wish Samsung updates the control center. It’s too outdated. I know it’s simple and working well, but I would love some visual tweaks.
But of course the restriction to sideloading older apps exists for all Android 14 phones…
what restrictions?
You now can’t even sideload an app with a target SDK level that is too low. This locks you out of a bunch of older abandoned FOSS apps that often are very lightweight on storage.
sidenote: what is the purpose of the target SDK? why do both minimum and target SDKs have to exist?

No more apps to kill all the background processes and free up memory.
Not a bad thing, honestly. Free RAM is wasted RAM.
Exactly. The way Android manages RAM is not the same as Windows, ie. full memory utilisation ≠ out-of-memory scenario.
Depends how much free RAM we talking but yeah.
I hope one UI gets a face lift. It’s so Samsung lol
