This wallpaper will crash your Android phone: don’t try it.
In what can be described as a truly mysterious phenomenon, an image of a picturesque lake, when set as wallpaper on select Samsung and Google Pixel devices, causes the phone screen and the device to go nuts.
Sony Xperia 1 II Heat Supression mode
The Sony Xperia 1 II has a unique feature hidden in its game mode which allows the the phone to suppress heat while charging.
How this feature works: When the phone is plugged in the battery does not get charged and the charger provides direct power to the phone , much like some laptops where you can takeout the battery and use it just by plugging in the cable.
Why this feature is great: This feature is primarily focused toward gaming because it generates a lot heat because of heavy cpu usag...

Nokia 9.3 Pureview vs Pixel 5
So I recently remembered that Nokia exists and they released the 9 Pureview last year. The camera had problems due to the complex system Nokia was trying to use but now this year it seems Nokia's going to go with a more standard data intake for its 5-camera setup. The camera app was also laggy.
This year, the 9.3 Pureview is expected to have the 865 and X55 5G modem, 6 and 8gb of LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.0 storage, and an under-the-display selfie camera. Now, of course, the selfie camera will need to...

With Refresh you pay two things, device and plan. The device cost always stays the same, and can be paid off at any time. Once that's paid off you can cancel the SIM. You might start on a 36month plan but if you decided to pay it off a day, week, month, year later, you can cancel the SIM plan.
The downside is you have to have a credit check.

I really hope MTK releases the course code for Dimensity
Redmi 10X is a beast for it's money, but still, it's running on MTK processors, so we all can say bye to its custom ROMs.
Me and a lot of my friendly andro enthusiasts love Xiaomi for its value as a base for custom ROMs and various tests.
Wouldn't it be profitable for MTK to release the source code, since Qualcomm has a "tax" on its chips? And why does Qualcomm have a market share this big (if there are any reasons other than open source code)?...
