Step Down Pixel 7 Pro Display

Google’s next-generation Pixel, the Pixel 7 Pro, is already expected to feature the same display as the Pixel 6 Pro. We now hear that the software will solve the battery life problem on the 6 Pro by allowing the display to scale down to 1080p to improve performance:

“… Android 13 will introduce a way to choose different displays, which can reduce power consumption. In particular, Google has added the options of ‘High’ and ‘High’, which correspond to 1440p (3,120 x 1,440) and 1080p (2,340 x 1,080), In addition, switching from High to High reduces the pixel density from 512 PPI to 384 PPI.

“In theory, running the Pixel 7 Pro at 1080p should improve battery life, which is still a problem for the Pixel 6 Pro.”

Razer’s gaming brand usually focuses on laptops and desktop devices, but mobile gaming has taken a step forward this week with the launch of the Razer Kishi V2 controller. Split in half to place your mobile phone, you have all the gamepad controls supported by the main app:

“The Razer Kishi V2 differs from the first-generation controller as the buttons now use microswitches instead of membranes, which should provide a faster feel. In our review of the original Kishi, we noted that the buttons had a spongey feel and lower actuation point. than what you’ll find on most first-party pads, hopefully, the update will help solve these problems.

And Finally…

As Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference draws to a close, the iPhone crowd is pouring out details on another version of iOS… just like the Android crowd. Is there anything in Apple’s OS that Android fans can benefit from? Tyler Lee makes five picks, including the closing shots:

“Widgets are not a new thing in Android, nor are lock widgets, but for whatever reason, Google decided to abandon what was done years ago. iOS 16 introduces lock devices that will allow users to see what they want. just look, and we can not be surprised that Google may rethinking their choices and bringing that look back.”
