Too bad S25 base model still has only 25W charging support and a relatively short battery capacity of 4000mAh

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite promises big things for late 2024 and 2025 flagship smartphones. From a new custom CPU to unrivaled graphics performance, photography, and enhanced AI capabilities, it’s the chip that claims to do it all, and, for the most part, it does. However, our initial impressions of the chip have been tainted by exceedingly high temperatures when placed under stress.

So, I was lurking using sync for Lemmy and I came upon this post.

What happened to the development with these apps? I'm not that active on lemdro.id or other instances. But apps like Sync and Boost have been updated in a year or 6 months respectively. With Boost I'm not surprised Mayo tends to be slow. I was more shocked with sync. My question is do you guys have any recommendations for other Lemmy clients?

Edit Please do not harass the devs.

Edit 2: I'm testing out thunderbird.

According to our source, those purchasing the Google Pixel 9a will get Fitbit Premium for 6 months, YouTube Premium for 3 months and Google One 100GB for 3 months. This is similar to the freebies that Google offered for the rest of the Pixel 9 series.

I feel like this isn't all that interesting news though because I thought trials were commonly included with new Android phones.

This is merely a small blurb. Here's the (nearly) complete text of the article (no real need to visit the page):

Qualcomm says Arm is no longer threatening to take its chip architecture away.

”Arm recently notified us that it was withdrawing its October 22nd, 2024 notice of breach and indicated that it has no current plan to terminate the Qualcomm Architecture License Agreement,” Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said on today’s Q1 2025 earnings call. (Qualcomm reported record quarterly revenue, and Amon says Snapdragon now has 10 percent share of $800-plus Windows laptops at US retail.)

Sounds like the chip licensing drama is coming to an end, although it's hard to know what agreements went on behind the scenes to call off the giants' battle.

  • Android will soon be able to alert you when your device’s time zone has been automatically updated.
  • This alert will come in the form of a notification.
  • The feature isn’t live yet in the latest Android 16 preview, but when it does go live, it’ll be opt-in.

Sounds like a nice QOL mini-feature.
