Screen auto-rotation in Android has always provided a bad, slow experience that never matches the smoothness of the same feature on iOS. Guilty patents or Google not caring, or that producers are bad, I just know that I have turned it off on phones for years because there are few things that are more frustrating to see a wrong time automatically turn in the middle of an important task.
Because smartphones are so personal, it is automatically the type of topic that you decide to deal with yourself and then go further and accept how you handled it as the way you work you. But today, on reddit, I noticed a bunch of people on the subject because someone came up with the idea that Google Pixel phones can have ‘really bad’ screen rotation.
The thread is filled with people on both sides of auto-spin, many of whom leave it out in favor of the contextual or app-specific option that is fairly new to Android. No matter which side you fall on, it seems obvious that everyone agrees that automatic turn on Android sandwiches. Some people think it’s the worst on Pixel phones, but it’s still slow, regardless of your phone. I’m not sure if I have an opinion on which device maker has the best implementation, I just know that I will always turn on automatically.
Time to choose a side – do you auto-turn on or off?
