Should it arrive to that they can still seize your devices and also force you to unlock your devices biometrics or patterns/passwords regardless. I wouldn't trust law enforcements in this regard.

Yeah, lol. Who has the time to type a passcode or pattern unlock when a single click or glance can unlock your phone within a second.

Oppo has now announced global variants of both smartphones, but with radically different specifications. For starters, the cameras on the Reno12 Pro is radically different from the vanilla Reno12. Plus, both phones use a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC instead of the Dimensity 8250 (Reno12) and Dimensity 9200+ (Reno12 Pro).

I don't know what it is with global variants getting worse specs compared to Chinese versions. The other two dimensity SOCs would've made these smartphones much better. 7300 is midrange at best.

As mentioned earlier, the Oppo Reno12 Pro and Reno12 come with a MediaTek SoC. Oppo calls it the Dimensity 7300 Energy, which comes with the company's Trinity Engine. It uses the 'power of AI' to dynamically allocate resources to apps.

Hmm...

Lastly, the Oppo Reno12 Pro and Reno12 come with a 5,000 mAh that supports 80 Watt SuperVOOC fast charging with a proprietary charger. USB-PD peripherals can charge the smartphone at up to 55 Watts.

At least USB-PD at high watts is supported.

Android is catering to the general public. The average user would easily understand fast, slow and normal. 20w, 68w, 5w not so much. But, I agree not having to use apps or 3rd party cables just to see the charging watts would be great. Even a Dev flag to enable the feature would be cool.

What ROM? Can't be a pixel

Its purely a visual change to signal charging speeds to our eyes. There are no changes to power savings yet.

I have a realme smartphone with under display fingerprint sensor. I had last done setup in December for fingerprint and face unlock. It works fine without issues even now. Like the article mentioned it depends on the manufacturer and the hardware tuning. Pixels are known to have frequent issues to warrant this change.

Nintendo lawyers: Thinking if they should send a cease and desist to lineageOS devs in this case.

Interesting, after all the fuss about improved exynos and the success of the exynos 2400. Sounds counter intuitive but i guess exynos 2500 won't be ready prime time even by samsung standards if they do not include it in their flagship S25 series smartphones.

The profile pictures are super tiny and I only sometimes read the names. So, for the most part I only check the post/comment and decide on a vote or comment action.

Interesting

Its supervooc without a question. That's what vivo, realme, oppo, oneplus, iqoo all use. If it was PD it would've been news too.

You will get even more crap and ads on vivo. Don't bother

Yeah, that would be great. It would also improve activity and engagement level in this community.

What he said has merit and it also depends on the region. I had a person insist iPhones used type C charging in 2022. I did not want to argue with stupid.

You need more ram(8gb or higher) to run Local LLMs without impacting UX. Apple is way to greedy to give all the improvements in one go. It would probably be after IPhone 16 that the whole lineup may get the full suite of AI features.

Yeah, the tinted icons are very refined as can be seen in this post: https://androiddev.social/@MishaalRahman/112594519877882594

Was AI the best way to do it? No idea.

AI is a buzzword at this point. I wouldn't read too much into it. Everything that's been called AI has been in existence way before the general people even new the A in AI.

GPU drivers especially those on mediatek are a mess. My dimensity 7050 smartphone is running on Rp32 GPU driver version. Which makes it not vulnerable because it runs on an older driver version! The affected driver versions are Bifrost and Valhall drivers from r34p0 through r40p0 for Bifrost and Valhall gpus

Bloatware-free as in 3rd party apps like Instagram, Facebook, etc. Now, 1st party apps having ads are a different thing all together.
