Netflix finally redesigns its player UI with larger controls and a 'Next Episode' button

-

Netflix might be one of the most popular video-on-demand services on the Internet, but it's by no means immune to mistakes. One of those mistakes was its now-former mobile player UI, which just wasn't very well thought-out. The company has finally redone the interface, and it's now much easier to use.

WHAT'S NEW

Get ready to change how you watch things with our new video player.

  • New forward and back 10-second buttons make it easy to jump to the exact point you want to. Pro-tip: double-tap on the left or right side of the screen while watching to instantly go forward or back.
  • Enjoy bigger controls like play/pause, with labels to quickly select Episodes or turn on Audio & Subtitles.
  • Tap the new "Next Episode" button to get to the next one even faster.

The old Netflix mobile player UI was always a bit odd-looking, not really resembling any of its competitors'. The play/pause button was crammed in the bottom left corner for some reason, and all of the functions were crammed in the top right. The new UI, however, fixes almost everything. The play/pause button is now much front and center, and it's flanked on both sides by forward and back 10-second buttons. Unfortunately, those +/-10 buttons don't rack up to +20, +30, etc. like YouTube's, but hey, it's better than nothing.

You'll also note that the 'Episodes' and 'Audio & Subtitles' buttons have been moved to the bottom with captions, which is definitely an improvement over the sometimes-cryptic icons. Alongside those two buttons is a new 'Next episode' button, allowing you to quickly skip to, you guessed it, the next episode of whichever show you're watching. All of the buttons have haptic feedback, which may or may not be to your preference.

This is certainly a welcome change, even if it is a little overdue. And in case you were wondering how we got screenshots of Netflix, an app that blocks screenshots, we used this nifty little Magisk module to disable secure screenshot blocks.

Google Pixel 3 / Pixel 3 XL case reviews: Because breaking an $800+ phone would really suck [Updated continuously]

If you thought the Pixel 2 and 2 XL were expensive, you probably weren't very happy when you saw the Pixel 3's $799 and Pixel 3 XL's $899 MSRPs. The Pixel 3 XL received a modest $50 jump in price from the 2 XL, but the Pixel 3 went up by a whopping $150 when compared to the Pixel 2. In other words, those who've purchased a new Pixel, regardless of the model, are probably going to want to protect it. Like last year's , this roundup will feature a wide variety of cases from several different manufacturers. For each case, we'll start off with some pros and cons and finish with a verdict on whether or not it should be considered.
