Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphones are suggested to mostly use Snapdragon chipsets, Qualcomm has indicated. While answering a question in the Qualcomm earnings call for the period ending June 30, 2022, Cristiano Amon, President and Chief Executive Officer explained that the share of Snapdragon chips used in Galaxy S series phones has increased and will continue to be so. He noted that the US-based chipmaker has extended its partnership with Samsung expanding the use of Snapdragon platforms for future premium Samsung Galaxy products globally. “The way you should think about it is [that] Snapdragon will power their Galaxy product line, their Galaxy flagship products. And what I can say at this point is we were 75 percent on Galaxy S22 before the agreement….we're going to be much better than that on Galaxy S23 and beyond,” Amon explained while replying to a question. This suggests that a majority of Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphones will be fitted with the Qualcomm's next Snapdragon flagship and not Samsung's own Exynos SoCs. It is to be noted that Samsung has been launching its Galaxy S series with Exynos chipsets in some markets. Amon also said that Qualcomm has also extended its partnership with the South Korean company. “It's a multiyear agreement. And it's — that's probably what I can tell you. You should think about us powering their devices globally. In addition to Galaxy smartphones, the agreement includes PCs, tablets, extended reality and more. The extension encompasses 3G, 4G, and 5G technologies and devices and will also include future 6G standards and products,” the executive said. The development comes about three weeks after TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphones may only use Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoCs worldwide. He claimed that Snapdragon SoCs powered about 70 percent of Galaxy S22 smartphones — which is nearer to the number that Amon mentioned in his reply. It is also to be noted that Qualcomm has not explicitly said that the Galaxy S23 series will solely be powered by Snapdragon flagship chips. Kuo also claimed that Qualcomm's flagship 5G chip SM8550 is made by TSMC 4nm process and Samsung Exynos 2300 is made by Samsung 4nm process. The Snapdragon SM8550 is said to be optimised for TSMC's design rule, giving it advantages over the SM8450 and SM8475 in terms of computing power and power efficiency. https://gadgets360.com/mobiles/news/samsung-s23-qualcomm-snapdragon-sm8550-soc-exynos-2300-cristiano-amon-galaxy-3204637#pfrom=home-po[CENSORED]r

Huawei brought the new foldable Mate Xs 2 back in May, and we were reporting on the ground with first impressions and hands-on experience. Back then the device was in limited supply but now Huawei is bringing it to the store shelves and we got our hands on one unit. The Mate Xs 2 ships in three colors, and our unit is White. The finish on the back is leathery but since the phone folds outwards, the color is more of an afterthought. Still, it feels nice on the hands when the Mate is unfolded. We love how thin the phone is in its base - it is just 5.4 mm, with the camera bump doubling it to 11.1 mm, which is also the total thickness of the folded phone. The panel is manufactured by BOE and we love the fact it virtually has no creases - we had to look hard to find some. The unfolded 7.8” screen has no glass to shield it from the elements, but it has a pre-applied plastic protector. It already has some minor scuffs which thankfully are not visible when the device is being used. When the Huawei Mate Xs 2 is folded, the front side becomes a 6.5” screen, while the back side remains dark. It can be used as a viewfinder for taking selfies with the main cameras, though. We will look deeper in our full review to establish whether HarmonyOS 2.0 has features that enable the second display. Thankfully, there is a special protective case in the retail box that covers the rear part of the display. The Huawei ecosystem is getting increasingly feature rich and this phone comes with Petal Search, Petal Maps, and AppGallery and even brings app suggestions to download directly onto the home screen. Huawei Mate Xs 2 has an attractive form factor and promising cameras. Its foldable design is a bit vulnerable with the whole display being exposed, but there's no denying its impressive looks and functionality benefits. We’ll go through all the use case scenarios in our review to determine whether it is worth the €1,999 price tag. The tests are already underway, so stay tuned. https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mate_xs_2_in_for_review-news-55193.php

BMW has been expanding its SUV stable of late, thanks to the addition of cars like the iX. However, there’s still a place in the hearts of many drivers for the X3, long hailed as an excellent SUV option for those that want a mix of luxury and sportiness. For 2022, BMW has given the X3 a few modest tweaks, including the addition of a hybrid system to make the ride even smoother. But BMW isn’t the only manufacturer to expand on its SUV efforts. In the last year or so, we’ve seen a number of electric SUVs and crossovers — and many of them make a seriously compelling case for themselves. Does the 2022 BMW X3 M40i do enough to retain its place as a top competitor in the SUV space? I’ve been driving it for a while now to find out. 2022 BMW X3 M40i exterior design The side-profile of the X3 definitely shows the fact that it’s a mid-size SUV, with a slightly sloped roofline that curves down into the back of the car. There’s a small upper spoiler for style points, and the taillights are sculpted in a way that looks modern and interesting. The X3 is available in a few different colors, and our review model is the Blue Metallic, which looks great. The wheels on our model are the 20-inch M double-spoke wheels, which I also love. 2022 BMW X3 M40i interior design The BMW familiarity extends to the inside of the car. Like all other modern BMWs, the X3 boasts a high-quality tan-colored stitched leather throughout, and generally, it looks and feels great. One of the best things about this particular BMW, however, is how spacious it is on the inside. The higher roof helps ensure plenty of headroom in both the front and the back, and the oversized windows give plenty of visibility no matter the height of the driver. The space extends to the trunk too. I happened to be reviewing this car when my parents and brother flew into town, and I was easily able to fit three large suitcases in the trunk. The trunk boasts 28.7 cu-ft of space with the rear seats up, and an impressive 62.6 cu-ft of space with them down. At the front there’s a good selection of physical buttons for climate controls, and the car, in general, has three climate zones, so the rear passengers can have their own controls. There are also USB-C ports dotted throughout the car, which is handy. 2022 BMW X3 M40i infotainment The BMW X3 M40i features BMW’s iDrive 7 infotainment system, which I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with. The design of it is fine, though it still looks a little dated and cluttered. It’s centered around a customizable home screen, followed by a few screens of “apps” that you can dive into. Again, it works fine, and it’s better than some others. It’s also relatively responsive, which is always helpful. Of course, you don’t have to use iDrive 7 much if you don’t want to. The car comes with Android Auto and CarPlay through a wireless connection. Unlike some other BMWs, I never really experienced any connectivity issues with CarPlay Wireless, but maybe I just got lucky. 2022 BMW X3 M40i performance The 2022 BMW X3 M40i comes equipped with a 3.0-liter i6 engine, but perhaps even more interesting is that BMW has also included a mild-hybrid 48-volt starter-generator. The result is that the car gets 382-hp, and 369 lb-ft of torque. It can get from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. Yeah, it’s pretty quick. Fast acceleration is only part of the picture though. The car is responsive and smooth. It handles easily around corners, with little lean despite its taller stature. It’s really a joy to drive, regardless of the drive mode that you’re in. 2022 BMW X3 M40i driver assist As you would expect, the BMW X3 M40i comes with a few driver-assist features that can help make it easier to drive and park. You’ll get basics, like a backup camera and blind-spot monitoring. You’ll also get the 360-degree camera view, which has fast become one of my favorite features on modern cars. BMW in general is lagging a little behind some of the competition when it comes to autonomous driving tech, but depending on the options you get, you’ll still get adaptive cruise control, which can be helpful in stop-and-go traffic. And, you’ll get a lane assistant. Conclusions The BMW X3 M40i is a luxurious SUV that’s easy to handle and quick off the mark. It’s not cheap, but if what you’re looking for is luxury and spaciousness, then the BMW X3 M40i is an excellent option. The competition The BMW X3 M40i is a great option, but it’s not without competition. Most notably, the car goes up against the likes of the Genesis GV70, which is perhaps a slightly better option thanks to its stunning design and excellent performance. That said, you really can’t go wrong ewith the X3 M40i. https://bgr.com/reviews/2022-bmw-x3-m40i-review/

After millions of years of dinosaur rule, the Cretaceous Period came to change forever the path of evolution on Earth. It was spring. After a period of prosperity, an asteroid of approximately 180 kilometers in diameter hit the Earth. The blow was inserted in the current Yucatan Peninsula, and caused one of the most devastating ecological imbalances that our planet has faced in history. This period of instability, climate change and mass extinction is known as the Cretaceous Period. We suggest: Antarctica was a lush jungle full of life 90 million years ago What are the characteristics of the Cretaceous Period? The Cretaceous period was "the last segment of the Mesozoic era," explains Live Science. It is historically situated between 145 million years and ending 66 million years ago in Prehistory. Back then, dinosaurs still ruled the Earth's seas and continents. The name of this period in the Prehistoric comes from 'crete', which translates from Latin as gis. This is due, according to the United States National Park Service, to the impressive chalk deposits that date back to that time. Parallel to the wide diversity of plant and animal species that proliferated on Earth, the supercontinent Pangea began to fragment. These landmass changes would redefine the natural history of our planet. At that time, the configuration of the continents was changing. This would reshape global geology, as well as the distribution of ecosystems around the world, explains National Geographic History. Also read: The asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs hit Yucatan in spring What dinosaurs lived at that time? According to a study recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, by the mid-Cretaceous Period po[CENSORED]tions of insects and flowering plants proliferated. At the same time, angiosperms "diversified rapidly," according to the National Park Service. The institution describes this dizzying diversification as 'mysterious' and 'exquisite'. Regarding which dinosaurs inhabited the planet, "dominant groups were modified and many new types evolved," explains National Geographic History. Gigantic sauropods, marine reptiles and pterosaurs were the protagonists of the Cretaceous Period, as well as feathered birds and species with abundant fur. In parallel, pollinating insects propelled the evolution of hundreds of species of flowers and plants. This phenomenon is known as co-evolution, as documented by the Washington Native Plant Society. To a large extent, it was due to the proliferation of wasps and other winged species with stings, which generated, according to researchers in the United States, "an explosion of prehistoric flowers". Some of them are preserved crystallized in amber. It may interest you: To the rescue of 'Fiona', the only fossil of a pregnant ichthyosaur that exists on the planet Why did the dinosaurs become extinct? The asteroid crashing into Earth during the Cretaceous Period wasn't the only reason the dinosaurs went extinct. Much of the mass extinction that occurred in prehistory was due to a series of drastic and vertiginous ecological changes, to which the species were unable to overcome or adapt. To a large extent, climate change was propelled by the very high concentrations of CO2 that accumulated in the atmosphere. As documented by the Institute of Geology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), these altered levels "caused various transformations in the Earth's biosphere and climate." Contrary to what is commonly thought, not only the dinosaurs received the consequences of the climate crisis in Prehistory. On the contrary, the cosmic dust of the asteroid blocked the Sun's rays, so that even prehistoric plants succumbed to the hostilities of the environment. In addition, according to Dr. Fernando Núñez-Useche, from the UNAM Institute of Geology, the CO2 concentrations are also due to the growing volcanic activity that the planet faced. The change began with the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea. However, "the separation of the resulting continental blocks occurred at an accelerated rate during the Cretaceous", explains the specialist, "which intensified the production of oceanic crust on the seabed and increased submarine volcanic activity". Are we facing a similar mass extinction today? In this regard, the UNAM-DGDC Science correspondent, María Luisa Santillán, explains that the contemporary climate crisis is very similar to the changes that occurred back then. «THE CHANGES THAT OCCURRED DURING THE CRETACEOUS PERIOD ARE THEREFORE AN ANALOG OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE WE ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING; IN FACT, IT IS CALCULATED THAT IF CO2 EMISSIONS CONTINUE WITHOUT ANY CONTROL AT THE CURRENT RATE, BY THE YEAR 2100 THE CONCENTRATIONS COULD REACH VERY SIMILAR LEVELS”, POINTS OUT THE SPECIALIST. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/periodo-cretacico-historia-caracteristicas/

Peugeot has just launched the new generation of 2008. This crossover takes the platform of the new DS3 Crossback and the upcoming Peugeot 208, which not only gives it greater rigidity and space (4.3 meters long, 434 liters of trunk), but also which also prepares it to receive electrified thrusters. At the moment, only three versions are available in Chile, but the idea is that other models in the range will soon be enabled. The new 2008 has a 130 Hp 1.2 Turbo engine with a 6MT gearbox and an alternative 1.5 BlueHDi with an 8AT gearbox, this one with two power levels. The equipment will vary depending on the version, but at least in the current versions there is mixed upholstery, climate control, a complete electrical kit, heated mirrors, a multifunction leather steering wheel, a digital instrument panel, a multimedia system with connectivity, six airbags, ESP, ISOFIX, a light and rain, reversing camera, among others, all clear with high quality and very modern design. https://www.autocosmos.cl/autos/suv-diesel

ichelle Nichols, the actor who became a Star Trek legend and broke ground for Black women on screen with her portrayal of Lt. Nyota Uhura, has died. She was 89. She had been treated for dementia in her 80s, and in an Instagram post on Sunday, her son Kyle Johnson wrote that she died of natural causes. "Her light however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time, will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw inspiration," Johnson wrote. "Hers was a life well lived and as such a model for us all." A beloved icon of the science-fiction franchise, Nichols’ casting as a prominent character in a position of authority was unprecedented and radical for a TV show that first aired in 1966. Her character’s kiss with William Shatner’s Captain James Kirk also broke ground for being one of the first interracial kisses ever aired on television. After the original series ended, Nichols worked with NASA to recruit women and people of color as astronauts and continued to act, appearing onstage and in films like Snow Dogs and the TV series The Young and the Restless. Still, throughout her life, she remained devoted to Star Trek and was a fixture at fan conventions well into her 80s. “Every time I sat down at my console on the bridge of the Enterprise, I felt that I was in the twenty-third century, that I was Uhura. The promise of that imaginary universe was real to me,” Nichols wrote in her 1994 autobiography, Beyond Uhura: Star Trek and Other Memories. “I am still very proud of Uhura: proud of who she was (or will be) and what she represented, not only in her time but in ours, and in those of people who will discover Star Trek decades from now.” Born Grace Nichols in 1932 in the Chicago suburb of Robbins, Illinois, Nichols knew at a young age that she wanted to be onstage. “Even before I could walk, I could sing,” she wrote in Beyond Uhura. She started taking ballet classes at age 7. As a teenager, she danced at the College Inn, a famous venue in downtown Chicago, where she caught the eye of Duke Ellington. She later toured with the jazz legend. Her first break in Hollywood came through a small part as a dancer in the 1959 musical Porgy and Bess starring Sidney Poitier. Five years later, she made her television debut playing the fiancé of a Black Marine in an episode of The Lieutenant, the first show produced by Gene Roddenberry, who went on to create Star Trek. According to her autobiography, when Nichols first auditioned for Star Trek, her character had not yet been created, so she read for the part of Spock. It was only after she signed on to the show that Nichols and Roddenberry conceived Uhura. Her name was derived from Uhuru, the Swahili word for freedom and the title of the book Nichols was reading when she auditioned. “I said well why don’t you do an alliteration of it and soften the end with an ‘a’ and it will be Uhura,” Nichols recalled in an interview years later. “[Roddenberry] said, ‘That’s it. That’s your name.’” Initially frustrated with her lines getting cut and racism she faced on the studio lot, she famously almost quit the series after one season to pursue theater jobs. But she decided to stick with it after a chance encounter with Martin Luther King Jr., who convinced Nichols of the significance of her role to the Black community. “He said, ‘For the first time on television we will be seen as we should be seen every day, as intelligent, quality, beautiful people,’” she recalled. “And he said, ‘… Gene Roddenberry has opened a door for the world to see us. If you leave, that door can be closed.’ “And at that moment the world tilted for me,” Nichols said. Still, she had to continue fighting for lines and for her character’s integrity. In her autobiography, she recalled one new director who insisted that Uhura “do something cutesy” that she “simply would not do.” She held her ground and — after Roddenberry backed her up — the director relented. “This was not a ‘female role,’” she recalled, using her hands to make air quotes, in Woman in Motion, a 2021 documentary about her life and work with NASA. “And I refused to treat it that way.” Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry, the son of Gene Roddenberry and an executive producer of several franchise series, reacted to her death on Sunday. Though the original series only aired for three seasons, Lt. Uhura’s impact was far-reaching. Nichols’ portrayal inspired other actors, like Whoopi Goldberg, who was in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and real-life space explorers, like Mae Jemison, the first Black woman to travel into space. “It wasn’t until Lt. Uhura did I realize that I was in the future,” Goldberg said later. In the late 1970s, as NASA struggled to attract women and people of color to apply to its Space Shuttle program, the agency hired her to lead a campaign to recruit the first women and people of color to travel to space. She was awarded the agency’s public service award in 1984. Nichols and her costars eventually returned to the Enterprise to reprise their roles in six Star Trek films. She also returned to one of her first loves: the musical stage. In a 1990 one-woman show called Reflections, Nichols paid tribute to more than a dozen iconic performers, including Josephine Baker and Ma Rainey. “Although people know me best as Uhura, I’ve always considered acting the ‘other’ thing I do,” she wrote in Beyond Uhura. “While months, sometimes years, passed without my setting foot before a camera, music filled every day of my life.” She often spoke of not ever wanting to retire. But after a stroke and a dementia diagnosis, she stepped away from public life in 2021. In 2018, due to fears that she was susceptible to exploitation, her son petitioned the Los Angeles County Superior Court to place her in a conservatorship and later moved her to New Mexico, where he lives. The legal arrangement drew scrutiny from some of Nichols’ friends and the Britney Spears fans who rallied in the #FreeBritney movement against potential conservatorship abuse. Nichols had been one of four of the original Star Trek cast who were still alive. Shatner, George Takei, and Walter Koenig are now the only surviving members of the group. In tweets, Takei described Nichols as trailblazing and incomparable, adding that he'd have more to say about her legacy. "For today, my heart is heavy, my eyes shining like the stars you now rest among, my dearest friend," he wrote. "We lived long and prospered together." The diversity of that cast made them stand out on ’60s TV, and it continued to be a hallmark of Star Trek through spinoff series and films following the crews of other starships. On one current series, Star Trek: Discovery, a Black woman named Michael Burnham, played by Sonequa Martin-Green, is not just a member of the bridge crew like Nichols, but the captain. “Everyone has her own idea about why Star Trek has endured,” Nichols wrote in her autobiography. “I firmly believe in the power of vision, and Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek raised the prospect that space offered humankind the opportunity to start anew. … He believed, as do I and many others, that this was not simply one possible version of the future, but the only viable one.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/in-addition-to-acting-in-star-trek-the-original-series-and-six-franchise-films-nichols-was-a-fixture-at-trekkie-events-and-worked-with-nasa-on-astronaut-recruitment/ar-AA109ZTl?li=BBnb7Kz

Introduction Tecno has a consistently growing smartphone lineup. The new Camon 19 Pro just dropped by the office for a full, in-depth review. The Camon family is Tecno's flagship line. It consists of phones with bigger displays and an increased focus on camera features and performance. The Camon 19 Pro is no exception, with an OIS-enabled 64MP main snapper with laser autofocus and a 50MP 2x telephoto camera on the back. Tecno mainly targets developing countries, which is why it has a different approach to its smartphones than the mainstream makers. The Camon series bring large screens and batteries, with a good camera experience and satisfying performance on the cheap. The price is kept even lower thanks to pre-installed partner apps and baked-in ads within the interface. This might be a deal-breaker for some, but for others - a welcome tradeoff they'd gladly make. Tecno Camon 19 Pro specs at a glance: Body: 166.8x74.6x8.6mm, 204g; plastic body. Display: 6.80" IPS LCD, 120Hz, 1080x2460px resolution, 20.5:9 aspect ratio, 395ppi. Chipset: Mediatek MT6781 Helio G96 (12 nm): Octa-core (2x2.05 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55); Mali-G57 MC2. Memory: 128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM; Unspecified. OS/Software: Android 12, HIOS 8.6. Rear camera: Wide (main): 64 MP, f/1.6, 26mm, 1/1.7", 0.8µm, PDAF, Laser AF, OIS; Telephoto: 50 MP, f/2.0, 50mm, 1/2.76", 0.64µm, PDAF, 2x zoom; Depth: 2 MP, f/2.4. Front camera: 32 MP, f/2.4, 26mm (wide), 1/3.4", 0.8µm. Video capture: Rear camera: 1080p@30fps, HDR; Front camera: 1080p@30fps. Battery: 5000mAh; Fast charging 33W, 100% in 65 min (advertised). Misc: Fingerprint reader (side-mounted); NFC; FM radio; 3.5mm jack. The Camon 19 Pro has plenty going for it beyond what we already mentioned. Its large 6.8-inch display has a 120Hz resolution. Though, unlike the Camon 18 Premier, it's just an LCD rather than an OLED. You also get a large 5,000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging and a decently-powerful MediaTek Helio G96 chipset. It should be noted that a Camon 19 Pro 5G exists as well. It is technically a different device, but it basically shares almost all of its specs with the regular Camon 19 Pro with a chipset swap to the Dimensity 810 5G. So, most of the observations we make in this review will also apply to the Camon 19 Pro 5G. Another important point of clarification here is that the older Camon 18 Premier is not necessarily a great comparison point for the Camon 19 Pro. The Premier is a more expensive phone, allowing it to have some niceties like the AMOLED panel or the gimbal-stabilized 12MP ultrawide camera. We will do our best not to draw many comparisons between the two devices in the review. Unboxing Before we delve into the Camon 19 Pro itself, we should look at the retail package, which ticks all boxes. The box itself is a two-piece thick cardboard affair with a sturdy and eye-catching exterior with its two-tone design. The contents are very well protected with an actual plastic cradle for the phone itself. Tecno has always had a very rich accessory package. The bundled charger is a familiar affair for the brand. It is rated for up to 33W of output (5V@3A or 10V@3.3A). You also get a USB Type-A to Type-C cable in the box, rated for 3.3A. It is about a meter long and also wired for data. There is also a nice pair of earphones with a mic ending on a 3.5mm jack. You will also find a soft transparent case that envelopes the phone and its camera island. Finally, the Camon 19 Pro arrives with a thin protective film on the screen. Sure, it may not be as durable as a tempered glass shield, but it's not as cheap and smudgy as the ones we've seen pre-installed on some more po[CENSORED]r phones. https://www.gsmarena.com/tecno_camon_19_pro-review-2456.php

Google launched the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G phones during its hardware event on Wednesday, confirming all the rumors that said the 2020 Pixel flagship wouldn’t be a true flagship this year. The $499 Pixel 4a 5G is a much better choice than the $699 Pixel 5, as the two devices practically share the same set of specs, with very few differences that matter. There are plenty of better smartphones that sell for the same $699 or are significantly cheaper than the Pixel 5. I told you all year long that Pixel 5 rumors suggest the phone will be the biggest disappointment in Nexus and Pixel history, and Google confirmed it all on stage during its 2020 “Made by Google” press event that streamed online on Wednesday. Google went out of its way during the press event to avoid confirming the worst thing about the two Pixel 5 phones, focusing on 5G connectivity and camera improvements. It’s not like 5G is as widely available as Google made it look like. So those camera improvements, combined with the promise of fast Android updates for the next three years, should be the only reason to get an expensive Pixel this year. And the Pixel 5 is too costly at $699, but I’ll get to that later. The worst thing about the new phones is the Snapdragon 765 processor that Google referred to as “Qualcomm Snapdragon processor” on stage. It’s the first sign that Google isn’t even trying to compete with other Android vendors this year, or Apple. And it’s unclear whether things will change anytime soon, or Google is giving up on the Pixel completely. A chorus of Android blogs would tell you that it’s excellent news the Pixel 5 comes with a cheaper Snapdragon 765 processor on board. That Google did things differently this year. That it allows Google to sell affordable 5G phones to the masses. That’s a valid argument, but then what’s the point of the Pixel 4a 5G? If anyone’s going to compromise on hardware when buying a new phone during the novel coronavirus pandemic, then they should look at the Pixel 4a 5G. The $499 phons is $200 cheaper than the Pixel 5 but rocks almost the same specs. It’s got a slightly bigger screen and footprint, likely to accommodate the 3.5mm headphone jack — yes, this one has a headphone jack. The Pixel 4a 5G features a plastic back instead of aluminum-and-bio-resin, 6GB of RAM instead of 8GB, and a slightly smaller battery — again, you can probably blame that 3.5mm port for that. And that large screen does not support a 90Hz refresh rate, but it’s just another feature you can forget about on an otherwise decent offering. Otherwise, the Pixel 4a 5G is the affordable Pixel 5 that you can easily explain away as the compromise some Android buyers need right now. The Pixel 5 isn’t a significant upgrade compared to last year’s Pixel 4, and that’s something that won’t go unnoticed. Just wait for the benchmarks and speed tests to arrive. The Pixel 5 isn’t much faster than the Pixel 4, and it’ll be so much slower than the iPhone 12, iPhone 11, and probably iPhone XS. Now, imagine all the backlash had Apple pulled this move. Google could have made a top of the line Pixel 5 to show the world that it can compete against the Galaxy S20 or Note 20, OnePlus 8 Pro, and the iPhone 12. It would have been an expensive phone that few people would have purchased. But Google doesn’t really plan to sell a boatload of Pixel 5 phones anyway. A report Nikkei Asia said the other day that Google would produce less than 1 million Pixel 5 phones this year. The figure is actually at around 800,000 units. Combined, the initial production of Pixel 5, Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 4a will sit at a “modest 3 million units” for the year. Google said that during the event that the Pixel 4a is selling even better than the Pixel 3a did. But if these estimates are genuine, then the Pixel 3a didn’t sell that well either. In the first half of the year, Google sold just 1.5 million Pixels, “a sharp drop from the 4.1 million units” sold during the same period last year, Nikkei says. The Pixel 3a did launch in the first half of the year in 2019, while its successor saw significant delays on account of the novel coronavirus pandemic. “Google gave a relatively conservative order forecast this year because its flagship Pixel 4 did not sell well last year, and because COVID-19 is causing their team to stay on the safe side concerning handsets for now,” a source close to Google told Nikkei. The same source said the production volume is subject to adjustment depending on sales. In an ideal universe, Google would not even need to make its smartphones as long as Android is the dominant platform. But the mistakes Google made early in the development of Android forced it to make its own smartphones. In an effort to catch on to iPhone and grab market share at all costs, Google allowed others to interfere with the operating system, losing control over updates. That’s why the Android universe has been so fragmented, a problem Google has tried to fix for years while selling it as an advantage. Fragmentation allows customization, Google would often say. But having smartphone makers and carriers involved in the release of Android updates is one of the worst things about the operating system. That’s why Google has to have its own hardware on hand every year, to demo the best new features in a timely manner. Without a Nexus or Pixel phone handy, Google would find itself launching a new version of Android in late summer, only to have that version of Android reach existing phones several months later. This would give Apple an even bigger competitive advantage over Android. Those iOS updates are usually compatible with the vast majority of devices in use, a point Apple makes every year. Google is rumored to replace Android with Fuchsia, an OS that will run on a variety of devices, and which will support fast updates just like iOS. That’s the word on the street, however. In such a case, Google could drop the Pixel line altogether, as it won’t need a vessel to promote the newest operating system. But even in such a case, Google will still have to produce the first device ever to run Fuchsia. For now, Google doesn’t need just great software updates to compete with the iPhone, but also great hardware. A top of the line Pixel 5 would be the ideal purchase for hardcore Android fans who want Google’s own version of Android. It doesn’t have to sell well either. It has to exist to inspire buyers, developers, and Android vendors. But Google didn’t even attempt to make one this year. The newly launched $699 Galaxy S20 FE is an S20 featuring several compromises of its own, but a much better deal than the Pixel 5. Like the S20 FE, the OnePlus 8 also features a Snapdragon 865 processor and sells for $599 right now. The OnePlus 8T upgrade is coming soon with an 865+ on board. The $399 iPhone SE and $699 iPhone 11 both rock the same powerful A13 Bionic chip. Come the iPhone 12 launch in a couple of weeks, the iPhone 11 will probably drop to $599, which is a much better deal than this year’s Pixels. And if you can get your hands on the €399 OnePlus Nord that rocks the same Snapdragon 765 chip as the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G, then you should ignore the Pixel altogether. Google, of course, knows all of this. This isn’t the first year Google is making its own smartphones. Yet Google practically gave up on the Pixel series this year. Hopefully, things will turn things around next year. Google is rumored to work on a custom processor for its phones that might power the Pixel 6. In such a case, it won’t depend on Qualcomm when it comes to the CPU that powers its handsets and tablets. https://bgr.com/tech/pixel-5-specs-vs-pixel-4a-5g-better-price-deals-iphone-11-oneplus-8-galaxy-s20-fe/

Elon Musk Sounds the Alarm on Russia-Ukraine War t would be an understatement to say that Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is very interested in Russia's war in Ukraine. NATO countries and experts see this war as a battle for democracy. "When the history of this era is written, Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger," President Joe Biden said on Ukraine during his March 1 State of the Union address. "While it shouldn’t have taken something so terrible for people around the world to see what’s at stake, now everyone sees it clearly." "In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security," Biden argued. "This is a real test. It’s going to take time. So let us continue to draw inspiration from the iron will of the Ukrainian people." Musk Sides with Ukraine Musk, the CEO of premium electric vehicles Tesla ( (TSLA) - Get Tesla Inc. Report), seems to share this opinion. "We cannot let Putin take over Ukraine. This is crazy," the Chief Executive Officer of the premium EV maker said in March during an interview with Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/elon-musk-sounds-the-alarm-on-russia-ukraine-war/ar-AA108ATM?li=BBnbfcL
