    My review after using Themed Icons for some months: This ain't it

    Posted: 08 May 2022 02:21 PM PDT

    I'm back to normal icons. I liked them at first, but they started losing their appeal. It makes finding apps a little more slow as things look the same. I don't think this feature will be big, I really don't see big 3rd party support in the future, especially when in terms of branding this is a downgrade for products (from the owner/seller perspective).

    Now think about it, why would you want to do something like this as a developer? Imagine if the user has 7 all looking alike icons and your app is the only one with the original icon. Which will be standing more in front of the users eyes and probably be more prompt to be tapped? And not only that, won't something like this increase the branding fights and lawsuits between companies? How can you make such a big list of icons different if they are all themed the same way? What happens if your logo is a Red and blue "M" and mine is a Green and Yellow "M" , how will this work with themed icons?

    Snapdragon 7 Gen 1: Alleged CPU benchmark numbers offer disappointment in spades

    Snapdragon 7 Gen 1: Alleged CPU benchmark numbers offer disappointment in spades

    The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is tipped to launch shortly as Qualcomm's apex non-premium chipset for the year. OPPO's upcoming mid-range phone, the Reno8, is expected to be equipped with the chipset and a new leak has now revealed some rather disappointing Geekbench performance numbers for the duo.

    The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 appears to record a single-core score of 712 and a multi-core score of 2385. Those are, well, shambolic. For some perspective, the chipset the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is expected to rival—the Snapdragon 870—scores 993 and 3306 respectively, a whole tier above the Snapdragon 7 Gen appears to deliver. In fact, these leaked numbers fall short of the Snapdragon 778G—780 and 2864 in the single-core and multi-core tests respectively—as well.

    These Geekbench scores look a lot lower than what one would expect from the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, which makes it likely that the numbers are either dubious or, at least, a bad representation of the chipset's actual capabilities. That said, though, the listed core clock speeds match up to provided numbers from previous reports.

    My opinion: Ok, this does not look well, the only thing I can see saving the situation is seeing the GPU being decent to compensate this situation.

    Samsung did really screwed up with their 4nm fab process.

    How about a Google Play verified tick?

    Posted: 07 May 2022 08:03 AM PDT

    Social media platforms use a verification tick to help us keep safe from impersonating scammers. In turn, it motivates creators to produce high quality in effort to achieve verified status. Why not apply this same model to the Google play store to help by highlighting which developers have a good track record with regards to requesting only necessary permissions, and no malware including dicey ads?
