Google's 'MusicLM' text-to-music creator

Google's MusicFX is an experimental technology that allows you to generate your own music.

It is powered by Google's MusicLM and uses Google DeepMind’s novel watermarking technology, SynthID to embed a digital watermark in the outputs.

You can “Describe any musical ideas and hear it come to life with Al.” For example:
• Create a melody for ambient music I can study to
• Create a soulful jazz song for a dinner party
• Create an industrial techno sound that is hypnotic

Google says you can be “very descriptive” with this generator.
You can specify instruments like electronic or classical, as well as the “vibe, mood, or emotion” you’re aiming for.

Its currently available in the USA only, so please use a VPN to access and try it.

JUST IN: Snapdragon-powered Pixel Phones are Dead

The Pixel 5 & 5a are the last batch of Snapdragon-powered Pixels & now Android 15 will NOT be supported by them

Android 15 only supports Pixels released after late 2021 aka the Tensor-powered Pixel series, sealing the fate of Snapdragon chip support

In our previous poll, 58% of users voted that Google should switch to Qualcomm but, dumping the Qualcomm Snapdragon was one of the BEST decisions Google ever made.

Google can now have full control over the SoC which wasn't possible with Snapdragon
Tensor isn't perfect at all, but its getting better with time

Since the Snapdragon-pixels support will end soon, it will become more difficult for Custom ROMs users to steal pixel features since Google will tie features to the Tensor chip as seen with the 'Best Take' & 'Unblur' features of Google Photos

Google might remove Qualcomm DSP support, thereby making processing speed on GCAM Mods trash, thus taking much more time to process images

Nothing Teased RAM Booster in Phone 2a

Nothing Phone 2a will feature a gimmick RAM Booster, wherein it will make people think that their phone will have a huge 20GB RAM LOL
So, 12GB Physical RAM + 8GB Virtual = 20GB RAM 🤓

Nothing even mentions that MediaTek Dimensity 7200-Pro is "exclusively co-engineered" with Nothing which in reality has NOTHING custom in it

You can think of MediaTek & Nothing "exclusivity" as a CHEAP partnership

OnePlus 🤝 Nothing - Bad Quality Control
OnePlus 🤝 Nothing - FAKE Hype
OnePlus 🤝 Nothing - RAM booster
Truly a BBK Move by Nothing

FunFact: Phone 2a will come with a Plastic build quality

Upto PVT phase (production validation testing), Phone 2a had a Metal (Aluminium) build quality
But at the last moment, Nothing went with Plastic to offer the phone for cheap

Expect the Phone 2a to be priced around Rs.26,000 in India (~315$) for likely 8GB RAM
Launching on 5th March globally

Xiaomi 14 is coming to India

Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra will launch globally on 25th March at Xiaomi's MWC event.
Xiaomi will bring Xiaomi 14 to India on 7th March

Xiaomi 14 Ultra has NOT been teased for the Indian region because its launch in India will depend upon how well Xiaomi 14 sells in India

Well, even Xiaomi understands that who gonna spend Rs.1 Lakh on a Xiaomi Phone in India wherein competitors like Samsung, Apple, and Pixel exist

However, Xiaomi can do a limited drop for the India region like they did JUST 3000 units available for Mi 11 Ultra in India

Ironically, Xiaomi 11 Ultra turned out to be the WORST Flagship ever too with issues with Wi-FI, motherboard, SoC and IP68 rating as well

Here is what's NEW with Dimensity-7200 Pro used in Phone 2a

Carl Pei claimed that Phone 2a does NOT feature a MediaTek Dimenisty 7200 but instead comes with Dimensity 7200-"Pro" which as per them is "custom" built and "exclusively co-engineered with Nothing"

So, this means that there should be something different than the base Dimensity-7200

But, the answer is absolutely NOTHING
The clock speeds, GPU, etc. everything is SAME as the base Dimensity-7200 only

There has been virtually NO customization done with the 7200-"Pro" used in Phone 2a.
Basically, MediaTek offers "custom monikers to OEMs" who are ready to pay extra for certain software optimizations.

So to create HYPE for the Phone 2a, Carl Pei ended up paying MediaTek a bit more for certain software optimization & in return MediaTek allowed them to use custom-moniker for the same SoC and Nothing & then called it an "exclusive and custom" chip

Average Garbage marketing and FAKE Hype once again by Nothing to Fool Peeps
