Google smartphones have some of the smartest algorithms for processing images and the company has applied its knowledge to the Portrait mode in the Camera app as well.

The company has announced on its blog that starting with the Pixel 5, Pixel 4a, and Pixel 4a 5G, the feature will now be Off by default, while the options will provide neat explanation what it...

YouTube's picture-in-picture mode for iOS 14's Safari is back

Posted: 02 Oct 2020 12:32 AM PDT

The picture-in-picture functionality for iPhones was introduced with iOS 14 - a feature that was borrowed from the iPadOS. So users using the Safari browser for iPhones were able to pull down and continue watching the video in a small floating video as they continue browsing. However, two weeks ago, Google axed the feature without giving any explanation and since the iOS YouTube app still doesn't support PiP, it left some users quite disappointed. 14.0.1 pic.twitter.com/qUaxnT6UdF— MacRumors.com (@MacRumors) October 2, 2020 But it's now back all of a sudden. Some thought that PiP was...

The new Pixel phones lack a Pixel Neural Core, but that doesn't mean they lack the features

Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:49 PM PDT

Google is a major player in the machine learning field, leveraging its experience in multiple products, including the Pixel phones. That used to be the case, anyway, none of the new models have the Pixel Neural Core. This includes the affordable Pixel 4a, the Pixel 4a 5G and even the $700 Pixel 5. Instead, all AI calculations will go through the NPU of the Snapdragon chipset (S730G in the case of the 4a, S765G for the other two). Last year Google explained that the Live HDR+ and Dual Exposure features can't be enabled on older pixels because they lacked the Neural Core (they had the...

Microsoft working on x64 emulator for Windows on ARM

Posted: 01 Oct 2020 01:16 PM PDT

The current Windows running on ARM is rather limited because it doesn't support 64-bit x86 apps - it can only do 32-bit x86 apps and, of course, 32-bit and 64-bit ARM software. And as you've probably already guessed, most software developers aren't bothering to support their 32-bit x86 apps leaving Windows ARM devices in limbo. Luckily, Microsoft is working on solving this problem with a x64 emulator allowing you to run 64-bit x86 apps on your ARM computer greatly expanding the list of compatible apps. The new Windows version will start rolling out to Insider testers next month and the...

Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro in for review

Posted: 01 Oct 2020 11:59 AM PDT

After launching the Mi 10 5G, Mi 10 Pro 5G and Mi 10 Ultra, Xiaomi unveiled the T series with the Mi 10T 5G, Mi 10T Lite and the latest arrival in our office - the Mi 10T Pro 5G.

The Mi 10 Pro has the same main 108MP flagship camera but with laser autofocus assistance, two telephoto cameras to the Mi 10T Pro's none, and a superior ultrawide snapper with focusing to the Mi 10T Pro's fixed focus...

Omdia analyses five key metrics with the data reflecting the first quarter of the year. Thanks to progress by Sunrise, the small European country...

Posted: 01 Oct 2020 09:18 AM PDT

Posted: 01 Oct 2020 08:26 AM PDT

Here's one more reason to watch the OnePlus 8T reveal on October 14 – OnePlus is teasing a new headset. The image below appears to be an artistic photograph of a rubber tip for in-ear headphones. Last month leakster Max J teased the OnePlus Buds Z and that name was also spotted in an OxygenOS 11 beta code. However, the current OnePlus Buds are all plastic and only the Bullets Wireless have rubber tips. A whole new world of sound. Coming soon.— OnePlus (@oneplus) October 1, 2020 That's not a rule, of course, some TWS headsets have tips and others do not. For example Apple's AirPods...
