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 🙄
But of course the restriction to sideloading older apps exists for all Android 14 phones…
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.
having only just moved to android 13, it seems a bit weird
but as someone without google apps… Android updates don’t seem to change a lot anymore
I hope one UI gets a face lift. It’s so Samsung lol
I’m hoping for opus Bluetooth support in AOSP and not just for Pixel. Better yet if it was the pipewire version (which is more extensive) but I doubt that.
