Does yewtu work fine? I remember trying it a while ago and it didn't open a single video. Thanks to this post I remembered and tried again but no dice. Is there a trick to make it work?

For me the sequence of errors goes like this everytime for any video:
1. Youtube is trying to block the instance
2. The video returned by YouTube isn't the requested one
3. You found a new bug

rinse and repeat.

Edit to say, this is on Firefox private window but don't think the agent matters?

For your requirements Iqoo phones are perfect. As already mentioned Iqoo Neo 9 Pro is a great option. Iqoo 12 is good but it is upto you to decide if it is worth it.
Also in Amazon Iqoo 11 with Snapdragon 8 gen 2 and 16 GB Ram is available around 42k. Do check it out. Iqoo 12 is available for 50k but in 12GB version(It's more than enough)
I won't suggest S22 for gaming though due to heating issues. S23 is the one to go for if you want a Samsung.

Hi Everyone.
I have been away from the android side of things since last 6 years. My last android phone was Galaxy Note 8. Currently, my main device is iPhone 15 Pro Max 512 gb. The only reason for which I want a second android device is call recording for my main work phone.

My main requirements are -
1. Good display ( Doesn't need to be big, but has to be 120 fps.)
2. Bloatware free fast software experience.
3. At least 1 day battery life.

Also, I need a few clarifications regarding call recording.
1. Is it legal in India if a call is recorded without announcing that the call is being recorded? 2. Which apps record calls without an announcement in the beginning?
3. Are there apps which record WhatsApp calls as well?

Any kind of help from fellow members will be highly appreciated.

But any Samsung phone that has an Amoled display.

The One UI on Samsungs come with Auto Call Recording feature, which works flawlessly as long as Wifi calling is not enabled.

Not sure about the legality but recording calls without consent is generally considered unethical, which is why some phones have announcements at the beginning of calls. Samsung phones may not include this announcement, but if you're using any other Android phone, you can install Google's phone dialer. Within its settings, you have the option to switch the announcement to a single beep tone which is way less intrusive.

In my newly purchased S24 faced a weird issue of when the phone is locked the whatsapp calls wont wake the phone, it only vibrates and rings and I have to unlock the device to view who is calling or answer.
Turns out there is a new menu option for Apps access. You have to do the below settings.
Open Settings > Apps

Tap on 3 dots

Choose "Special Access"

Swipe Down to the end and tap on "Full-screen alerts"

Enable WhatsApp

So if anyone facing the issue on latest Samsung devices, please enable the above settings.
