Automatic screen rotation on Android has always provided a slow and unstable experience that never matched the fluidity of the same feature on iOS. Blame patents or Google not caring or manufacturers being bad, I just know that I left it off on phones for years because there are few things more frustrating to see than an untimely automatic rotation in the middle of an important task.
Because smartphones are so personal, automatic rotation is the type of topic that you decide how to handle on your own and then move on, accepting how you handled it as the way it works for you. you. But today, on reddit, I noticed a lot of people thinking about it because someone brought up the idea that Google Pixel phones can have a “very bad” screen rotation.
The topic is full of people on both sides of the automatic rotation, many who leave it aside in favor of the contextual or application-specific option that is quite new on Android. No matter which side you’re on, it seems obvious that everyone agrees that automatic rotation on Android is synonymous with bread. Some think it’s the worst on Pixel smartphones, but still slow, no matter what your phone is. I’m not sure if I have an opinion on which device manufacturer has the best implementation, I just know that I will always leave automatic rotation off.
It’s time for you to choose a side – do you leave automatic rotation on or off?
