mrvictory1, in Snapdragon 8 Gen 4: Adreno 830 GPU rumoured to launch with DLSS Frame Generation-like feature

Yes, there aren’t many intensive mobile games. But the games that push the hardware have a very large playerbase ie. Genshin impact, Fortnite. So for mobile games this will be a valuable feature if it is implemented well. This won’t help with PC games on mobile because frame gen needs games to reach a certain FPS threshold before being useful. It can’t make a 15 FPS game playable. All PC gaming on Android benchmarks I have seen focus on older games, not new AAA.

aluminium,

There are new AAA games on Android? I know there are a bunch of upcomming “PC emulator” Apps but that shouldn’t count.

henfredemars, in Qualcomm wants to make it easier for phone makers to issue Android updates

It would be nice if there were any technical details on how Qualcomm intends to achieve this.

M500, in Qualcomm wants to make it easier for phone makers to issue Android updates

I have so many working phones that have not received security updates for a long time. It is a shame, as I need a second phone and they are perfectly suitable but I worry about how safe they are to use.

kolorafa, in Google Translate adds 110 new languages

If only some of the newly added translations was not garbage, adding local dialects that differs by location is useless, it’s more like a gimmick. It just makes it harder pick language as you need to scroll over all of those useless ones…

It’s probabably just a PR stunt.

Fitik,

@kolorafa Eh, probably still better than siting with dictionary tring to translate word by word, no? Especially if you don't know the language
For some of these languages there was no machine translation before that at all

all of those useless ones

No language is useless, please don't say that, some are just smaller

They’ll do an unprofitable thing? X

Do they?

Because their actions imply otherwise.

SpaceNoodle,

They’ve been making noises about it for the past decade. Instead, they apparently just donate to conservative politicians.

They could just make Qualcomm drivers part of the mainline kernel

henfredemars,

I’ve always thought having proprietary drivers was really weird. Don’t you want people to maintain your code for free?

unknowing8343,

But people wouldn’t buy the newer chip because the previous one would still have support. THAT is why the source is closed. To sell support until the cow is milked enough and then sell a newer version.

Am I the only one that never has BT swit he’d on ? 99.9% of the time it’s off.

I don’t use wirleias headphones and don’t have much use for BT at all…

TLDR: only in the US.

limerod,

I have smart downloads and pip window and redesigned desktop watch page without being in the US.

”Jump ahead” and ”conversational AI” for some reason are US only.

shotgun_crab, in Google Translate adds 110 new languages

I didn’t realize portuguese (portugal) wasn’t a thing yet

EinfachUnersetzlich,

Or Cantonese!

az04,

I was wondering if they would ever add it just this week, it’s a welcome addition

Is the accuracy as high as with other aspect of AI, e.g. LLMs answering with 90% correctness?

I’ll just use GrayJay, thanks.

sudotstar, in Qualcomm wants OEMs to have easier time updating Android

I'm cautiously optimistic about this, because Qualcomm has been actually putting in some work to get the mainline Linux kernel more supported on their Snapdragon X Elite laptop CPU: https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/qualcomm-goes-where-apple-wont-readies-official-linux-support-for-snapdragon-x-elite. This doesn't necessarily mean the same benefits will come to their mobile chipsets, but I'm hopeful that there is some runoff benefit from their new laptop efforts here.

While I do not expect to see Android devices with future Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipsets immediately booting mainline kernels on release, this might be a step towards achieving something closer to that. Those efforts will certainly make it easier for phone manufacturers to release updated kernels, and therefore Android releases, for their devices, or at least stop using Qualcomm as the excuse for not doing so (see e.g. Fairphone 4's software support roadmap: https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/9979180437393-Fairphone-OS).
