Battery Drain Test of Flagship Smartphones

Youtuber Tech Nick conducted battery drain test of flagship smartphones in Feb, May, and Aug. All phones were tested with the same brightness (LUX meter), NO SIM card, on Wi-Fi & running latest software updates.

RESULTS: The Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo X100 Ultra, both using Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, reached high as 68°C and 70°C even after bragging about 69,420mm² VC. They even failed to shut down after 60°C to avoid damage to internal components unlike safety mechanisms seen in Pixels & iPhones.

Pixel 8 Pro having NO vapor chamber, using a heater-- Tensor peaked at 55°C & managed 8hrs SoT, while Xiaomi 14 Ultra/Pro having large VC & efficient SoC offered just 7hrs SoT & reached 68C

iPhone 15 Pro Max had one of the best SoTs, despite a sub-5000mAh battery & heated the least. Honor and Huawei Pura 70 Ultra offered the best SoT at 11hrs. OnePlus and Samsung performed very well.

So, Vivo and Xiaomi lack/don't offer long-term care compared to others.

Google Pixels will be available to purchase from offline retail stores in India

For years, Google Pixels have only been sold online that too only through Flipkart e-commerce and not even on Amazon officially in India

But now, Google Pixels 9 series will be available to try in retail outlets too like Croma or Reliance Digital and it will not be Flipkart-exclusive anymore. Thus, customers in India can first try/experience Google Pixels in stores and then decide whether to buy them or not.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 4G launched as rebranded Snapdragon 662

Snapdragon 662 was announced 4yrs ago back in January 2020 and now in August, 2024, Qualcomm has launched it again disguised as Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 4G

Unlike MediaTek who actually announced MediaTek Helio 100 4G officially even though it was rebranded Helio G99 SoC only, Qualcomm is so shameful that it did NOT even dare to announce Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 officially. The world got to know about it when Oppo launched A3X 4G in Indonesia recently

Since the Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 4G model number is same as Snapdragon 662 only i.e SM-6115 and its also a 4G chip only, thus it should be safe to assume that 6s Gen 1 is also manufactured on 11nm process node in 2024 as the SD 662

Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 CPU:
4x Cortex-A73 @ 2.1GHz
4x Cortex-A53 @ 1.8GHz
GPU: Adreno 610 @ 1050Mhz

The only thing new in SD 6s Gen 1 is that, the CPU and GPU both are 100Mhz faster as the SD 662 CPU is clocked at 2.0GHz and its Adreno 610 GPU at 950MHz

Microsoft Banned Young Interns from Being Alone with Bill Gates

A new book titled "Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King: Bill Gates and His Quest to Shape Our World" by Anupreeta Das alleges that Microsoft management restricted young interns from being alone with Bill Gates due to his "flirty" behavior.

The book claims Gates made advances towards women at work and even asked female employees out for dinner while in an administrative role. It also touches on his infidelities, which angered his wife Melinda for a long time, leading to their divorce in 2021.

In a first, Robot commits suicide in South Korea

An administrative officer robot hired by South Korea's Gumi City Council was found unresponsive after it allegedly threw itself down a flight of stairs, thus committing suicide.
Witnesses claimed to have seen the robot "circling in one spot as if something was there" before the accident.

This administrative officer robot was made by Bear Robotics, a Californian robot-waiter startup and it appointed in August in the Gumi City Council to serve a civil servant. The robot used to work from 9 AM to 6 PM and robot reportedly “helped with daily document deliveries, city promotion, and delivered information to the local residents. While other robots usually stay on a particular floor, the one held by the Gumi City Council was capable enough to call an elevator and go to different floors on its own.

The cause of the fall remains unclear, but it could be either due to malfunctioning or the robot was overworked by humans

RIP Microsoft Paint 3D

Microsoft is killing off Paint 3D after failing to replace classic Paint on Windows 11 and Windows 10. Paint 3D NO longer comes preinstalled in Windows 11 like other popular Microsoft apps, but it is available on the Microsoft Store.

But now if you open Paint 3D app on your Windows machine, it will display that "Paint 3D won't be available in Microsoft Store or receive future updates starting on November 4, 2024." Clearly, the app appealed to a small group of users, and Microsoft decided it was best to burn it with fire rather than maintain it.

Alphabet and Google Sundar Pichai shared that Susan Wojcicki has died. She was 56yrs old and joined Google in 1999 as its 16th employee and first marketing manager. Larry Page and Sergey Brin started Google in the Wojcicki garage.

Wojcicki co-created Image Search, oversaw advertising, and recommended the acquisition of YouTube which Google purchased for $1.65 billion. In February 2014, she became the CEO of the YouTube and remained until February 2023 as she stepped down to focus on “family, health and personal projects,” while remaining in an advisory role to “offer counsel and guidance across Google and the portfolio of Alphabet companies.”

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 GPU Upgrades will be Massive!

As previously reported, Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will utilize an upgraded "Slice GPU architecture" and it will also offer improved cache & a new memory compression technology called "dynamic wave pairing".

Apart from these, Adreno 830 GPU in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will support frame generation technology. The GPU's frame interpolation technology will offer much less latency and lower power consumption too than that of an external interpolation independent graphics chip, and is comparable to the native high frame rate. It is estimated that the Snapdragon 8G4 will have a smoother and more stable with 1080p/1.5K + 120fps interpolation frame, and it will be fully compatible with games like Genshin impact, Collapse, Honkai etc

Additionally, Adreno 830 GPU will greatly improve the FP32 performance, and HGEMM support (Half-precision General Matrix Multiplication) is also added to accelerate AI workloads.
