Google India announced that Pixel smartphones will now be made in India
"Today we see an even greater opportunity to make Pixel smartphones available to more people in India, and are very excited to announce our plan to manufacture Pixel smartphones in India.
We intend to start with the Pixel 8, and will partner with international and domestic manufacturers to produce Pixel smartphones locally. We expect these devices to start to roll out in 2024, joining Indiaβs Make in India initiative."
Imo, its a good move considering Apple has also started making iPhones in India which has led to decrease in cost of iPhones in the country
Expect a good price cut next year for Pixel 8 series in India

Oppo Find X7 powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9300 spotted on GeekBench
Oppo's upcoming flagship Find X7 series will launch in 2024
Model Number: "Oppo PHZ110"
Dimensity 9300 is manufactured by TSMC on its 4nm node
Dimensity 9300 CPU:
1x Cortex-X4 @ 3.25 GHz
3x Cortex-??? @ 2.85GHz (Cortex-X4 Expected)
4x Cortex-A720 @2.00GHz
GPU: 12 cores Mali-G720 Immortalis Variant
GeekBench 6 scores:
Single-core: 2139
Multi-core: 7110
Note: Acc to rumours, MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset will likely have heating issues & will also be power hungry due to use of only the very fast scores
Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 while using JUST 1 Cortex-X core easily scores as much Dimensity 9300 which uses 4-Cortex X4 LOL
Anyways, so its a great competition b/w MediaTek, Qualcomm and Exynos this time and more competition means more choice to consumers
Also, Apple's A17 pro built on TSMC 3nm node also scores around this much only, so Androids are now able to catch up to iPhones performance

Google is shipping Some Pixel 8 smartphones with unlocked bootloaders
Reddit
Some users are reporting that their Pixel 8 smartphones have unlocked bootloaders out of the box. Its NOT a widespread issue though
This is shocking for average users and at the same time hilarious for tech enthusiast. Hear me out
Imagine unboxing your pixel smartphone and Google splash screen is expected at booting time
But the reality happens to be: WARNING β οΈ
βThe bootloader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed.
Any data stored on the device may be available to attackers. Do not store any sensitive data on the device,β
I think an average consumer after seeing this warning would just freak out thinking that his new smartphone got hacked at boot up only XD
Anyways, Pixels are one of the BEST smartphones for development & its pretty easy to unlock bootloader on them & you can even RELOCK bootloader on custom ROMs
Kernel sources are released properly on time unlike with Xiaomi

A company called GPICPL was made to conduct fraudulent activities.
Acc to the ED, GPICPL is NOT reported to be a subsidiary of Vivo in official records but projects itself publicly to be a subsidiary of Vivoβ.
The 4 arrested have been charged for criminal conspiracy, cheating, using forged documents and money laundering
Remittances over Rs 1 lakh crore were allegedly transferred outside India to βtrading companiesβ so that Vivo couldnβt be noticed by the Govt. of India.
Vivo showed ZERO Profits from 2014 to 2020 & NO income taxes was paid either
Rs 62,476 crore was βillegallyβ transferred by Vivo to China in order to avoid payment of taxes in India. These transfers were done to show losses

Google Tensor G3 is the first Android smartphone chip to only support 64-bit apps
Starting with iOS 11, Apple removed 32-bit app support to improve the performance, and Google's Tensor G3 chip is the first Android smartphone chip to do the same.
Google claimed that the Pixel 7 was the first 64-bit-only Android phone, but later it was found that 32-bit support can be enabled with root.
Now with Tensor G3, Google has removed all 32-bit hardware support on the chip, which has these advantages:
- 64-bit apps run faster because they have access to more registers and instructions
- saving up to 150MB of RAM that was used by the OS even when 32-bit apps were not running
- 64-bit apps are more resistant to security vulnerabilities than 32-bit
- 64-bit-only device configurations halve the CTS testing time which can let phone OEMs update devices faster and more easily
Although most apps already support 64-bit, users won't be able to use some old games/apps that only support 32-bit devices.

Google admits it blocked Reviewers from benchmarking Tensor G3

Previously during the review embargo period, some independent reviewers/owners of Pixel 8 series found that benchmarking apps like GeekBench 6 & 3D Mark were not available to download from PlayStore
It was speculated that there was an βAPI mismatchβ that might have caused the issue.
Google has now confirmed that it indeed blocked benchmarking apps but ONLY for review embargo period.
Google stated the reason that it did not want benchmark results of the Pixel 8 series review units from "leaking out"
Imo, this is a very ridiculous & absurd reason considering sideloading the apps works fine
Surprisingly, its NOT just Google but most smartphones brands practice this.
XDA reviewer β 'Adam Conway' says that Asus and OnePlus also blocked installation of benchmarking apps
OnePlus was so serious that it actually blocked the package name so that even sideloading wasn't possible & the workaround was to repackage the app

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with Generative AI
Qualcomm AI Engine is the first AI Engine to support multi-modal generative AI models including LLM & LVM, automatic speech recognition (ASR) up to 10 Billion parameters solely on-device.
Worldβs fastest Stable Diffusion enables you to generate an image at a fraction of a second
LLM models can run up to 20 tokens/sec
Qualcomm Sensing Hub with 3.5x AI performance increase
Semantic Segmentation can enhance the vibrancy and detail of images in real-time
Night Vision video can brighten a dark scene
The Video Object Eraser by Arcsoft removes unwanted people and objects.
Zoom Anyplace, powered by Samsungβs first 200MP image sensor optimized for Snapdragon, allows capture of multiple videos, object tracking & 2x and 4x zoomβall in 4K
Vloggerβs View lets you share both your selfie camera & rear camera video simultaneously
Supports HDR photo technology from Dolby
Truepicβs cryptographic seal to prove the photo is real and not AI generated

Qualcomm S7 and S7 Pro Gen 1 Sound Platforms announced
These are engineered for earbuds, headphones, and speakers by combining high performance, low energy consumption, on-device AI, and advanced connectivity.
The S7 and S7 Pro deliver "six times the compute power, almost 100 times the AI power"
Both of them supports latest Bluetooth 5.4v
Micro-power Wi-Fi:
With this, you'll be able to walk around your home/campus while still listening to music & making calls, where Bluetooth functionality cannot reach
Qualcomm XPAN Technology:
Keeps earbuds connected even when your phone is in another room.
The S7 Pro also has support for 192kHz multi-channel lossless music streaming and enhanced multi-channel spatial audio for gaming.
"Multiple DSP cores" on board and a sensor hub, supported by a 300% increase in memory - again compared to the S5 Gen 2
Comes with Qualcommβs 4th Gen Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and fully programmable, low-latency DSP.
