Xiaomi reveals SoC and battery details of Redmi Note 14 Pro+
  • Yeah, samsung has been stagnating for a years now. Chinese manufacteres are bringing silicon carbon batteries and other innovations in the market. But, samsung is pulling an apple on us. I respect the update policy and feature rich software from samsung but we need better.

    Faster charging, higher density batteries, higher performance snaldragon 7+ gen processors, etc.

  • PSA: Starting today, you'll need a Samsung account to use the Galaxy Store
  • Its not an actual competitor considering you need both a samsung smartphone and the galaxy store app to actually download apps. The discounted apps are limited to samsung smartphones. Meanwhile, those brought on Playstore can be installed on any google play services compatible smartphone.

  • Xiaomi reveals SoC and battery details of Redmi Note 14 Pro+
  • It won't. Higher midrange redmi phones do not support sdcard. I too am in the same boat for phones. Getting a good flagship grade phone with a good processor, updates support and sdcard support is tough. Samsung comes close but misses the mark by some.

  • Asus says they will unlock my bootloader for ...money.
  • Yeah, $200 is like the price of a fully functioning entry level samsung A15/16 series smartphone which would get 5-6 years of updates! This is ridiculous. Being a niche brand and pulling these stunts is stupid.

  • Xiaomi reveals SoC and battery details of Redmi Note 14 Pro+
  • TL;DR

    Xiaomi has confirmed that the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ will feature the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC, making it the first phone with this chip. This new SoC promises improved performance and efficiency, including running games like Honor of Kings at 120 FPS.

    The phone will also come with a large 6,200 mAh battery, though charging speed has been reduced to 90W from 120W in its predecessor. Additionally, the phone will have IP69 certification and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for enhanced durability.

  • YouTube Premium is getting a big price hike internationally
  • TL;DR

    • YouTube is increasing subscription prices outside the US, affecting both individual and family plans.

    • The price hike differs per region, with some seeing changes between 30% to 50%.

    • If you're impacted, it makes YouTube Premium more expensive than Spotify Premium and Apple Music.

  • Android treats third-party launchers poorly, but this survey could help
  • That was a problem in the old android 10 smartphones on some devices. Most smartphones except from xiaomi can use gestures with 3rd party launchers. Not allowing gestures with other launchers is on xiaomi.

    The animations may be buggy and, there may be other bugs. But, it works in other brand smartphones.

  • Samsung Galaxy A06 review
  • Usually, the reason my phone restarts is due to using virtual RAM and having the phone under memory pressure. Disabling or reducing the virtual RAM made the phone snappy at the cost of increased App reloads. Choose the balance you like. The hardware is not strong enough for multi tasking anyway. Assuming it has RAM plus.

    I'm speaking from experience of using galaxy A22 5g which had 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. But, this is still true on my realme smartphone with 12GB of RAM.

    YouTube Music can also transfer playlists to Apple Music in Google & Apple partnership

    > Through a new joint initiative, Google and Apple are making it possible to transfer playlists between Apple Music and YouTube Music in either direction using the “Data Transfer Project.”

    > This new option arrives via Google and Apple both using the “Data Transfer Project” stack which was developed by the two companies as a part of the Data Transfer Initiative, of which both Google and Apple are members. This same ongoing partnership has also previously delivered the photo-sharing tool used to transfer photos and videos from iCloud to Google Photos.

    In a blog post, the Data Transfer Initiative (DTI) teases that other services may join in time, saying:

    > Portability is a hard problem, and no tool can be perfect. But at DTI, our ambition – shared with our partners – is to build and ship best-in-class offerings for direct portability. We believe we have accomplished that goal with this newest DTP-powered tool, and we’re proud that users of Apple Music and YouTube Music can now transfer playlists between those services, free of charge, with a high quality experience. We hope and anticipate that other services will join us in this journey over time
