Samsung is under fire again from iPhone fans for its apparent lack of attention to detail when designing the new Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. Apparently, the fact that the ports don’t line up on the bottom of these devices automatically means they’re not as good as Apple’s.

The announcement comes just five months after Sony unveiled the Xperia Z5, and just two weeks after it went on sale in the U.S.

More evidence of the app drawer’s impending elimination with Android N has surfaced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week.

Samsung’s new Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have an always-on display that lets you check notifications, calendars, and more without waking your device. Samsung could bring the same technology to older Galaxy handsets — but it won’t.

LG’s new G5 ships with a new launcher that lacks an app drawer, meaning every title you download from Google Play ends up on your home screen. There’s a rumor that claims Google will take the same step with its Android N upgrade later this year.

Here’s why that decision makes sense, and why it doesn’t matter to existing Android users.
