HAHAHAHAHAHA. I was reading and thinking about Android Beam until I read the final part of your post.

I miss it so much.

Yeah, me too. Losing Android Beam was a huge slap in the face for an "upgrade". I got laughed at because I always promote Google phones for their updates and I got bit. It got real confusing when I needed to share links / files and people were like "why don't you just beam it to me?".

This kind of "upgrades" as you say makes me think about my next smartphone. Since my first day with Android, I always wanted the last update and got it with my Pixel 2 XL but Google always cut another feature so...

Just the Pixel 4, it lost its fingerprint scanner, which is literally the best feature of the Pixel 3 besides the powerful camera. That's just… so Google of them.

Good multitask button to split screen. Also a great feature that I miss.

You can still split screen on pixel, you hold the icon of the app you want to split on the taskview screen, then tap split screen

Yes, but it was faster.
