What are some cool but underrated Android Features on Android that most people don’t know about? those little things that make life easier but don’t get talked about much. I feel like there’s so much hidden stuff in Android that we miss out on.

    Android has support for keyboards. Both USB and Bluetooth keyboards work well and can be used for longer typing.

        You’re right. This came handy when my phone’s screen broke and the touch sensor didn’t work. With USB mouse and keyboard, I could make a backup.

        (Bluetooth would have worked too, if the devices are already paired).

          My friend’s phone screen broke. So whenever he received an incoming call, he would take a wired mouse out of his pocket and connect it to his phone to answer the call.

      With some apps (unsure if any open source ones exist), Android can become a Bluetooth Keyboard for a connected computer too! The keyboard isn’t very useful, but having a portable trackpad for a laptop during presentations may be helpful

      I use a Bluetooth numpad! I got an 8bitdo mechanical numpad and it’s so clicky and satisfying.
