Oof: the OnePlus Watch 3 is finally available in the US again after it was pulled to fix the "Meda in China" typo...but it now costs $499 (!) instead of $329.99!

When asked why, OnePlus refused to comment, but we can all probably guess why...

France fines Apple €150M for “excessive” pop-ups that let users reject tracking

France has imposed a €150 million fine on Apple because its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework requires third-party publishers to get "double consent" for tracking, while Apple's own data collection only needs one pop-up.

This asymmetry is seen as making third-party app use overly complex and harming small publishers who rely on advertising revenue. This fine doesn't mandate immediate changes, leaving room for future adjustments. Also, investigations into ATT are ongoing in Germany, Italy, Poland, and Romania.

19.04; TL;DR to the contents above:

Short review of OnePlus OV64B:
- it sometimes screws up focus on midrange subjects (very rare, but when it does, it's painful)
- Luma is correct, unlike iQOO in most cases
- dehasing and ISO gain is excellent + expomeasure isn't lacklusting
- sometimes kicks in 2Q binning (visible by squiggles)
- minimal oversharpening, rather slightly aggressive denoising


Few notes:
- Honor starts to show it's work under the hood, after few updates it no longer aggressively lacks to iQOO
- iQOO sometimes kicks in too much portrait face/text detailing (Vivo issue in general)
- software portraits are BEST HANDS DOWN on Honor, Harcourt + actual cloud processing is an excellent idea, and highly suggested to other OEMs to implement.

What things could be improved?
OnePlus:
- Forced ISZ on lesser range on tele
- 50/50 of both sharpening and denoising

iQOO/Vivo in general:
- Some sort of dehazing would be welcome
- Stop focusing on just faces and spline textures to be improved via AI, rather use whole scene
- Frame stacking for anything in ISZ range would be pleasantly welcomed, instead of relying on heavy sharpening

Honor:
- To stop relying on solely hardware binning, and introduce frame stacking for higher dynamic scenes

Overall, I'd say:
In common cases:
Honor > OnePlus > iQOO

Close-range portraits:
Honor > iQOO > OnePlus

Low-lights:
iQOO > OnePlus > Honor

Daytime macro:
Honor > iQOO > OnePlus

WB accuracy:
OnePlus > iQOO > Honor

More updates on Pixel 9a

1. The Camera Bump
Google in its blog post shared low resolution images of “variety of designs for the rear camera bump,”. But Google wanted to maintain familiar design elements like the camera’s pill shape, while also embracing minimalism.

2. Pixel 9a features a Vapor Chamber!
Pixel 9 Pro/XL are the first pixels to feature a VC which even the regular Pixel 9 lacks. But surprisingly, Pixel 9a packs a VC. If you are wondering 'why', that's basically done to manage heat caused due to inferior packaging method i.e 'iPOP' with Pixel 9a' Tensor G4. Pixel 9's SoC uses FO-PLP packaging method while the Pixel 9 Pro/XL Tensor G4 gets FO-WLP which greatly helps in heat management.

FunFact: Pixel 6 series was the last pixel lineup wherein Google DID NOT downgrade the Tensor chip, not even the packaging method used. Pixel 6a's Tensor G1 is the same SoC used in the Pixel 6 Pro.
With the Pixel 7 series, 7a heats more because it uses iPOP while Pixel 7/Pro gets FO-PLP.

Google Pixel Watch 4 Renders

The Pixel watch 4 will debut later this year alongside the Google Pixel 10 series. Compared to the Pixel watch 3, it will be a bit thicker maybe due to a bigger battery and will have a slightly smaller bezzels.

The render shows 2 buttons on both sides of the speaker but the functionality of these buttons is not known yet. Additionally, the back of the watch is missing 4 pins thus indicating wireless charging support on the pixel watch 4.

Here's a better showcase of our motora1n exploit running on a Pixel 7 Pro. The exploit automatically unlocks the bootloader, disables production mode, secure boot, and loads a different set of interesting scripts, going all the way through memes (brainrot) anddd.. DOOM!

The game runs natively and is entirely controlled via the phone's volume keys thanks to a special key handler :D
