Tested: Snapdragon-powered Android phones just got a lot faster at ray tracing

A new round of ray tracing benchmarks with 3DMark's Solar Bay suggests that Snapdragon phones have become much better at ray tracing.

I don't game with my phones but it's crazy that phones will have the capability to do ray tracing

I hate how google rebrands existing things and replaces established ones. They changed reminders to tasks

I thought I'd never get it back after l upgraded a year ago. Literally just stopped paying for premium last week.

Vanced is so much better that it's not even funny. I see they've added new options that I've always wanted, such as removing the forward and back buttons. They ALWAYS get in the way when I'm double tapping and serve no purpose as l never use them.

So glad to have timestamp and copy url button back

Went to 2 Best buys and neither had the Pixel fold on display.

I still love the narrow profile of my fold and didn't realize l got so accustomed to it. Held a 23 ultra and man, that joint feels like a DVD case. Can't believe l had a phone like that.
Smallest s23 felt unbelievably thin compared to the fold.
Watch 6 classic looks nice in black but they made the silver joint way too flashy. Joint look like a bust down.
Haven't been wearing my 4 as much for some reason.

This looks like the best foldable phone right now, just wish they had it in the states

Cheaper than Samsung too.

Looks like Apple copied the Samsung Bixby button and renamed it the action button in the upcoming iPhones.

Android OEMs need to work on their marketing

 

[Mark Antony]

That bixby button is the first thing I disable, it's inconvenient to accidentally hit. It will be hilarious if Apple users start singing it's praises.

 

[kungfu koala]

That bixby thing is repulsive.

 

[sooperhooper]

I can't believe they push it so hard. I use it eeevery now and then.

 

[Remy LeBeau]

I've completely forgotten what the purpose of Bixby is.

 

[sooperhooper]

It's Samsung's version of Siri. It's good for certain things but it basically competes With Google assistant. It's annoying when they can't get on the same page.

 

[Nujavez]

Was Bixby made when Samsung was threatening to leave Android? I can't remember

 

[Remy LeBeau]

If that's the case, Google assistant >>>>> Bixby

 

[fluid hips]

Bixby is buns but being able to remap the button is useful

 

[kungfu koala]

Man imagine me losing my phone in the crib n hollering "Hey Google! Find my Phone!"
Only to hear this very faint muffled response "Sorry, you need to unlock your phone for that!"
.... bet.

 

[Mark Antony]

Unless you have it set to need unlock to work, You should say "ring my phone".

just got this Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 Kompanio 520 Chromebook. for the price I paid for which is for going back to school sale, it's purpose, feature and build is actually very good. very light, looks looks premium inspite of having a plastic chassis. color aesthetics is very pleasing. it has a matte display finish which is good especially it has a touchscreen functionality. keyboard is decent but typical of such device. performance is good. atleast 5 open tabs gets you running fine. 1080p 14 inch screen although looks smaller than a typical 14 inch. colors are vibrant which is great for videos and pictures. so far, color accuracy seems to be on point. could run 1080p videos easily and have a decent 1440p performance. forget about 4K as it will struggle. for an ARM SOC device running on Android, it is very good. now I just have to become very familiar with using it for the next 2 years.

 

[fluid hips]

Just found out about this

Just found out about this

My whatsapp is actually like this. I have a group chat that gets kinda wild and I'd rather my kid think better of his uncles.

It's basically a secondary lock. I use fingerprint and a different code for secure folder and it works really well. U can also turn off all notifications from secure folder and basically just have a secret separate life in there. Texting is the one caveat. I don't think you can put that in secure only.

Congrats! Enjoy it.. I've been at Chromebook user for 8 plus years now with three different devices. I put my mom and her boyfriend on it too.. I think they're the best laptop for most people.

For basic day to day use, I would think so as well. Very light and performance is very good and quite. I remember using their netbook predecessors which were ok but underwhelming. I think this would become my primary device for business and schoolwork.
