There are a lot of bad Android apps out there. You can find them at any point with a quick search. Many developers put up subpar work trying to compete with larger or more talented developers, resulting in an endless supply of watered-down clones, apps that look like someone published a coding tutorial, and plenty of other misfires that stand to only make the good apps look better.

When you watch a video, however, sometimes the audio is in a different language or the dialect is slightly different. Things may come out a little jumbled, and the original meaning may not come across clearly.
KaiOS has quietly become a global powerhouse in the mobile industry, bridging the gap between feature phones and smartphones. The so-called smart feature platform is designed for phones with a physical keypad and more modest specs than even Android Go devices.
So how does a KaiOS phone hold up compared to an Android smartphone? I was given an MTN Smart S, which is a ~$17 KaiOS handset that’s just launched in Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, and several other African markets.
It was inevitable that in 2020 we would see flagship devices with 16GB of RAM. With phones like the OnePlus 7T Pro and the Asus ROG Phone 2, and others, making the leap from 8GB to 12GB in 2019, it really was just a matter of time before 16GB became an option. And here we are: The top model of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra has 16GB of RAM.
16GB RAM sounds nice, and it will certainly give you bragging rights among tech-heads, but do you actually need it?
