I'm interested in Android itself. The software. Custom ROMs, apps, security and privacy, beta reviews, upcoming features, whatever.
That's what the sidebar of this community also says.

However, my timeline is full of

"Rumors say, manufacturer XY might might bring out a new foldable, this time with a higher refresh rate display! 😳😱

or something like that.

I already have a phone. A very new one. I won't buy one in at least the next 7 years. Especially not a new fancy gimmicky toy like those ones.

Is this on purpose? Do you like what you see?

The comments are the place to be on news posts. So we can discuss those features to decide which ones are stupid and which are worthwhile.

This shouldn't be the only thing here, of course. But some subjects don't evolve as rapidly. News happens every day on every subject. Custom ROMs update every few weeks, and usually aren't important enough updates to care about.
