Google admits it blocked Reviewers from benchmarking Tensor G3
Source

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 “API mismatch” 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 — '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 unveils ‘Snapdragon Seamless’ cross-platform solution

Each US household now has on average 21 different digital devices & they don’t talk to each other all that well, especially if they’re from different manufacturers.

This can reduce consumer choice and create lock-in (like Apple does) where consumers feel stuck with one manufacturer so their devices can work together.

So, Qualcomm unveiled an innovative technology known as Snapdragon Seamless.
This cross-platform solution facilitates the seamless linking of multiple devices across multiple OSes including Android, Windows, and Snapdragon devices

For Example:
• Mouse and keyboards can work seamlessly across PCs/Laptops
Files and windows can be dragged and dropped across different types of devices.
• Earbuds can switch intelligently

Microsoft, Android, Xiaomi, ASUS, Honor, Lenovo, Oppo etc have collaborated with Qualcomm to create this multi-device experiences.
It will arrive on global device platforms this year.

Talking about Android Custom ROMs:

HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) was the first Android device which the developers found an exploit for and then got superuser access.

Koushik Dutta, founder of Clockwork Mod, provided the first detailed guide to root HTC G1.

The famous custom in those days was "JF ROM" by JesusFreke (I'm not sure if it was the first one)

JesusFreke stopped development in August 2009 and suggested users to shift to CyanogenMOD made by Steve Kodnik which was an enhanced version of JF!

CyanogenMOD's first version was 3.1 (Dream & Magic) which was released in July 2009. The final release was 13.0 ZNH5YAO (from Android 6.0.1 r61) which was released in 20 December 2016!

After CyanogenMOD's development ended, it was succeeded by LineageOS.

In December 2016 the CyanogenMod developer group forked and re-branded the CyanogenMod code into a new project named LineageOS, which is built on top of CyanogenMod versions 13 and 14.1. LineageOS version 15.1 was the first release fully controlled by the new LineageOS team.

There were also other custom ROMS in those days, like SlimRoms, Replicant, AOKP, OmniROM, Resurrection Remix OS, CalyxOS, CopperheadOS, /e/, Mokee ROM, Dirty Unicorns, and more! 🤖

Do let me know if I missed something 😖

Note: The attached image is Demi Adejuyigbe's Android home screen; modified G1 with JesusFreke 1.51 ADP firmware, skinned with XDA's HTC Hero theme - Link

Xiaomi ‘HyperOS’ announced

Xiaomi has finally announced HyperOS, a larger unified branding for its entire ecosystem, ranging from smartphones to IOT products to cars etc.

For IoT products, HyperOS relies on the open-source Xiaomi Vela platform, which is based on the open-source RTOS—NuttX.
While for smartphones & tablets, HyperOS is based on AOSP.

Base Android version is also independent of the HyperOS version. For eg, Xiaomi Pad 5 will be updated to HyperOS v1 based on Android 13.

Xiaomi says HyperOS allows for a stable frame rate & lower power consumption compared to stock Android when gaming but BTS, its just MIUI 15
In their whole press release, Xiaomi FAILED to explain the technical details of how different it is from outgoing MIUI firmware.

But Xiaomi’s HyperOS appears to show innovation is the HyperConnect framework that is meant for bringing all its devices together for a cohesive ecosystem experience

Xiaomi HyperOS will begin rollout internationally in Q1 2024.
