Oppo Killed its SoC Business
Oppo is closing its chip design business for reasons being uncertainties in the global economy and the smartphone industry
Oppo has killed its operation in Zeku Unit (setup in 2019) which develops in-house SoC for Oppo like AP, modems, Wi-Fi etc and famous MariSilicon X too which is a ISP chip to improve photography and MariSilicon Y which is Bluetooth SoC
Mishaal Rahman noted that Zeku employees submitted a patch to get their required ABI symbols into Google's kernel tree for their in-house SoC, and days later, they're shut down. Zeku was even developing a Processor for Oppo smartphones
Xiaomi was also developing its own processor for smartphone but they also ended up KILLING it before Oppo did but Xiaomi still develops custom ISP, DSP chips
Vivo is the only Chinese brand left who is still developing a processor with Samsung apart from Google which develops Tensor chips

Google can now delete accounts that have been unused for 2 years
Google Blog
Google has announced that from December 2023, they may delete inactive accounts that haven't been used for 2 years, including content in Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar, YouTube and Google Photos.
Abandoned accounts are 10x less likely to have 2FA enabled, which can make them more vulnerable to identity theft. (so the best way to combat this is to remove your access to all of your accounts and email, right?)
This will only affect personal Google accounts, and not organizations like businesses or schools.
To keep your account active, you'll need to do one of either:
β’ have any subscription including Google One
β’ read/send an email
β’ use Google Drive/Search
β’ watch a YouTube video
β’ download an app from the Play Store
β’ sign in using Google for a third party app
β’ sign in to Google Photos
Google will send multiple notifications to your emails (including the recovery) before removing any content.

Google is adding Apps Cloning in Android 14
Source
Google is testing a new βcloned appsβ feature in Android 14 that will let you βcreate a second instance of an app so that you can use two accounts at the same time.β
It will be available in Device Settings > Apps > Cloned Apps
When you will Clone any app using this feature, Android will create a "clone user profileβ and installs that app onto the profile and any apps cloned afterward are installed onto the same clone profile that was created before.
The Clone User profile created will NOT share app data so you need to re-login in the cloned apps
Unfortunately, the list of apps that are cloneable is currently restricted to few apps instead of all and are defined by the OEM.

First ever look at Pixel 8 Pro
91Mobiles
The leaker Kuba Wojciechowski has leaked a real life video showcasing a prototype Google Pixel 8 Pro. You can see the full design of the phone in white and the brand new thermometer feature.
There's now one wide pill fitting all of the cameras that looks larger than the one on the Pixel 7 Pro, and next to it there's the LED flash and thermometer sensor.
The infrared thermometer sensor lets you scan the body temperature by bringing the phone to your forehead, similar to other touchless thermometers.
