Samsung's Legendary JN1 Sensor
Samsung introduced the ISOCELL S5KJN1 senso in 2021 with a 50MP resolution having 0.64 ΞΌm pixel size while the entire sensor is 1/2.76β type.
The sensor is made for βevery smartphone, from mid-range to flagship"
Samsung used it as its 'primary camera' on their mid-rangers Galaxy M series & Xiaomi used it in their budget devices like Redmi 10
It was then used as Ultrawide camera in smartphones like Nothing Phone 1 and Phone 2
Xiaomi used the same as Telephoto Camera in Flagship Mi 13 series
OEMs will now use the same sensor as the selfie camera on their smartphones
Love it or hate it, but JN1 is here to stay for a long time π

Google has just published the I/O 2024 schedule!
Though I think I've done an amazing job at documenting Android 15 this year, Google always seems to pull an announcement or two out of their hat that surprises me.
Looking forward to finding out what that is! I've heard some stuff about Wear OS 5 and future Android TV versions that I'm not super confident about reporting yet, so I've held off for now. I hope this information gets confirmed at I/O, though!

WhatsApp tells Delhi High Court it will shut down in India if forced to break encryption
The court was hearing petitions filed by WhatsApp and its parent company Meta challenging Rule 4(2) of the Information Technology Rules, 2021. Rule 4(2) says βsignificantβ social media intermediaries (those with more than five million registered users) must be able to identify the first originator of any information (text, photo, video, etc) on its platform when ordered to do so by a court or another competent authority.
WhatsApp said that complying with the rule would require storing vast numbers of messages for extended periods, which no other country mandates. It said the rule exceeded the scope of its parent law, the Information Technology Act, which does not mandate breaking encryption.
The government argued that there must be a mechanism in place to trace the originators of messages, citing the need for accountability. The court has adjourned the case to 14 August.

Android 15 Will Force Dark Mode On Every App
Source
With Android 10, Google introduced support for a system-wide dark mode toggle with the "Override Force-Dark" option which is available in Developer Settings
The feature works by analyzing βeach view of your light-themed app and applies a dark theme automatically before it is drawn to the screen.β
However, apps βmust opt-in to Force Dark,β indicating they can opt out of it as well.
Now in the January Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 update, Google hid a new βmake all apps darkβ toggle under Settings > Accessibility > Color and Motion.
This toggle, which wasnβt visible by default then (and still isnβt as of the latest Android 15 Beta 1.2) is similar to the 'override force-dark' option.
But, the βmake all apps darkβ works in more apps than βoverride force-darkβ, suggesting that the existing developer opt-out no longer works and that the underlying force-dark algorithm is different.
Google will introduce it with Android 15 release

YouTube Will Start Showing Ads on Smart TVs When You Pause a Video
YouTube discussed its pause ads last year when it said it would bring them to connected TVs.
When a video is paused on a smart television, the video shrinks and an ad shows next to it.
Googleβs results showed growing revenues in its YouTube ads more generally, with an increase of 21% year-on-year.
Google says its experiment with βpause adsβ on YouTube has yielded some very positive results.
YouTube's pause ads are "driving strong brand lift results" and "commanding premium pricing from advertisers."
YouTube tried to spin the new pause ad format as "seamless" and a way for brands to engage viewers in a "non-interruptive" way when they get up for snacks or bathroom breaks.
So since Google is feeling pretty positive about pause ads on YouTube, the company may roll them out more widely once itβs done gathering data from its ongoing experiment.
