    Wear OS in 2020: The most stagnant smartwatch platform

    Snapdragon 888 Failed? Another Exynos? Disappointing Gaming Performance/Power Tests from Xiaomi MI11

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 02:05 AM PST

    So we have our first Snapdragon 888 Preview through the Xiaomi MI11. It's important to keep in mind that these are early benchmarks, and you need to take these with a grain of salt. Maybe other phones have better cooling or a firmware update can help. The Mi11 is the first Snapdragon 888 phone widely available, so it is the first SD 888 phone we have data on.

    The performance is comparable to an Apple A13 in Geekbench (at least in multicore, although the 888 is closer to an A12 in single core), but the power consumption is up over the Snapdragon 865. In some areas, performance per watt has actually regressed.

    Keep in mind too that longer periods of high temperatures means greater likelihood of thermal throttling. The review has a case of throttling in Genshin Impact, which for those unaware is a popular gacha game.

    This will be important as this SOC will be used by most of the big Android 2021 flagships.

    Here is the video:

    Also for reference, here are the early Anandtech results:

    https://www.anandtech.com/show/16325/qualcomm-discloses-snapdragon-888-benchmarks

    They didn't have power consumption though to Anandtech.

    On the CPU side we're seeing good improvements, even with Qualcomm's conservative claims. And meanwhile the new Adreno GPU seems to perform as well as Qualcomm has promised – if not a bit better. So as things stand, the missing piece of the puzzle is power consumption; if it ends up being competitive there, then Qualcomm has a shot at regaining the performance crown in mobile.

    I don't know if these early Mi11 tests are accurate, but if they are, it would explain Qualcomm's unwillingness to disclose the power consumption.

    Neil Gaiman Uses Pixel 5 Astrophotography Mode in Isle of Skye, Scotland

    With Samsung recently trying to solve under-display camera performance using deep learning, at what point of computational photography is it acceptable between a natural shot and an artificially restored version of the scene?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 10:07 AM PST

    Link to some Samsung work slated to be presented particularly "Under display camera Quad Bayer raw image restoration using deep learning" (Tweet linking the work to Samsung)

    This tech may or may not make it out to consumer phones but I'm interested in seeing what people think about the level of computational photography their phones use to provide the final image.

    Edit: By natural shot I implied minimal processing of the image

    Is rooting still worth the effort, in 2021?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 11:12 AM PST

    I started rooting my phones 7 years ago, installed CyanogenMod, doing all kinds of crazy stuff on Galaxy Note 2, and others. With many features being integrated into stock Android itself, is it still worth it in 2021?

    Android 2021 Predictions

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 06:05 AM PST

    What do you think will happen in the world of Android this year ? What direction will Google take it, will OEMs start looking at a more stock experience.

    Mine is :- We see a design overhaul of Android 12. It feels it has been quite some time and certain aspects are starting to look stale.

    Battery Health?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2020 11:14 AM PST

    Why isn't there more of a push for an android battery health monitor like iOS has? Is it too hardware specific to execute well? This is most important for phone resale. A third party app lacks the day 1 battery life baseline analysis and prevents a clear community standard for comparison. Seems like an important part of the android OS that is missing to me.
