Multiwindow on One UI

Let me start of by saying, One UI on the galaxy note 9 is extremely polished and Samsung totally killed it in terms of features. My disappointment is only caused by the fact that Android Pie is less intuitive and less power user friendly than Oreo and this is evident as -

  1. Pop-Up View shortcut - Samsung allowed a diagonal swipe from the top left hand corner of the screen to set any app into picture in picture mode and that's no longer possible.

  2. Multiwindow features - while in multiwindow it was earlier possible to switch the top and bottom windows and also quickly setting a window to PiP with it being no longer being possible now.

  3. Full Screen Gestures - This really is a great feature. No NAV bar on 6.4inch screen with rounded edges is aesthetically pleasing but in terms of functionality it still requires some polish because there are no Gestures that let you quickly go to split-screen multitasking and also you can't configure them to your liking.

Samsung has done everything in the past to make sure that their phones are not crippled by the current android version and have included features to truly make their phones the most feature packed. I just hope Samsung continues developing one UI on a path that brings back the intuitive multiwindow experience of Oreo.

He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
