Google Chrome now supports new modes on Galaxy Book

Published

on


Chrome is one of the world’s most popular browsers at present, initiated by the search engine giant Google. It is the most suitable browsing option if you think about multi-tab browsing. However, the good news is that Chrome is getting the Memory and Energy saving modes for Windows, Chromebooks, macOS, and Galaxy Books. These modes will improve the browser and its performance. Both of these modes’ distribution is now started for the respective devices.

Let you know with the Memory Saver mode, your Chrome browser will free up the memory which is used by the inactive modes and enhance the performance of currently active tabs, along with providing a clean and improved experience. We can say that this feature works similarly to Microsoft Edge’s Sleeping Tab feature. This mode will also let you select popular websites to exempt them from memory clean-up. To find this mode, just go to the browser’s Settings menu on your device.

Coming to the Energy Saving feature will deduct the power consumption just by minimizing the background activity. This intelligent feature gets activated in case your laptop’s battery is 20% or less and protects the device from heavy battery use. But remember, the Energy Saving mode will reduce animations’ quality, make scrolling rough, and deduct the video framing rates to save the battery. As per Google’s official blog post, both modes will be rolled out on eligible devices within the upcoming few weeks.

Qualcomm Unveils Snapdragon 8s Gen 3: Focus on On-Device AI

Qualcomm officially revealed the existence of a new edition to its list as it announced the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 smartphone chipset, which consists of a few flagship features. 

Qualcomm is all set to expand its chipset area by debuting its forthcoming Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 as a dedicated smartphone chipset along with some flagship-level features, but the noticeable fact that below the 8 Gen 3. 

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is based on a 4nm process along with a 1+4+3 core configuration. It includes the essential parts, which are mentioned below: 

  • One prime ARM Cortex X4 clocked at 3.0 GHz 
  • Four Performance Cores (2.8 GHz)
  • Three efficient cores (2.0 GHz) 

This Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is quite different from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s 1+5+2, which swaps an efficiency core for another performance core. It appears that Qualcomm frames the 8s Gen 3 as featuring “specially curated” or selected flagship features. 

The brand has offered support for on-device generative AI, such as Gemini Nano, though the same large language and vision models with at least 10 billion parameters would run faster on the 8 Gen 3.

Apart from all this, the brand is also offering an always-sensing ISP that permits real-time semantic segmentation to identify up to 12 layers in photos as well as videos such as faces, hair, clothes, and more. Jumping on the next, which is gaming, connectivity through the support of its X70 in place of the X75, audio.

Some of the smartphone brands will power their devices with the same chipset—the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3—in the future months, such as Honor, iQOO, Realme, Redmi, and Xiaomi.

Google has multiple developer conferences; out of those, now it’s for the Google I/O 2024. This is an annual conference held in Mountain View, California. 

The basic aim of this conference is to offer live keynotes and on-demand sessions on Google’s latest developer tools. Google I/O, an annual developer conference, has traditionally been more than just a developer-focused event, as the brand frequently announces various new services during the event. 

It is usually noted that at an annual developer conference, I/O used to tease up next-generation Pixel devices. This is one of the biggest, essential, as well as awaited events or conferences of Google, which always take place in May. 

This is being speculated by a post on X shared by the official handle of Google, which states that “Everyone is invited! 💌” 

“Join us online May 14th at #GoogleIO to learn about Google’s latest developer products, technologies, and ways to engage with the developer community.” 

With this statement, Google is inviting everyone to Google’s I/O 2024 conference, which will be on May 14th. the 

However, here’s the change: This time Google decided to turn the announcement of I/O Day into a logic puzzle with 15 levels. In a post on X, Google stated, “Twist, turn, and teleport your way to solve the Google I/O puzzle and help reveal the 2024 dates. Just remember, never slow your roll!” 

It is expected that this time Google could take AI as the center point of I/O 2024.

Here’s The Reason Behind Your Smartphone’s Battery Drain

Published

on


Battery drain is the process of a battery losing voltage or energy. When looking for a new smartphone, generally the first thing customers ask for is good battery life. There are several reasons behind battery drainage as per the scenarios of smartphones.

Now the new studies are unveiling more regarding the battery drain or energy consumption of smartphones. Basically, a new study by the University of Pisa and the Institute of Informatics and Telematics at CNR is revealing that the latest version of the HTTP protocol is not always the most energy efficient.

Basically, the researchers aim to compare the energy consumption of smartphones and IoT gadgets while using several HTTP versions. Through this research, it has come to be known that while HTPP/3 can be well regulated in some particular scenes, for instance, transferring small amounts of data, it can basically consume at least 30% more energy than other variants while dealing with larger amounts of data transfers.

This research is worthy of attention since it helps developers building systems along with smartphones and IoT devices make informed choices that consider energy consumption and also introduces new research opportunities for developing intelligent algorithms that have the power to choose the high-powered, energy-efficient HTTP version based on several factors such as data size and network conditions.

In short, in this study, the University of Pisa and the Institute of Informatics and Telematics at CNR are just focusing attention on energy efficiency, which must be a remarkable consideration when choosing internet protocols, usually for battery-powered gadgets such as smartphones and IoT devices.
