The official statement, which was released to XDA, says that the reason behind the alleged performance throttling was due to OnePlus’ R&D team working on the OnePlus 9 Pro’s performance optimisation with popular apps, which includes Chrome. And that the team was trying to match the app’s processor requirements with an appropriate amount of power, therefore leading to a “smooth experience while reducing power consumption”. — Geekbench (@geekbench) July 6, 2021 While the statement sounds par for the course, XDA does point out that the wording implies that OnePlus had only implemented this performance behaviour after the phone’s launch....

The tweet also provided brief glimpses of the upcoming watch – revealing what appears to be a circular watch face, among other things. Its specifications are not known at this time, but OnePlus hinted via its official forums that the wearable will come with the typical health, fitness and sleep tracking capabilities.

Company vice president Brian Shen posted on Weibo, essentially saying that the novel coronavirus outbreak in China will affect the production of the OPPO Find X2. Even if a single part of the entire production line is affected, the whole process will be slowed down. Initial supply of the device will be limited as a result. Shen said that the health and safety of its employees are the company’s top priority....

Should OPPO’s plan to manufacture its own chipset be successful, that would technically make it the fifth smartphone manufacturer to do so, after Apple, Samsung, Huawei and more recently, Google. The latter having just announced its new Tensor SoC with the launch of its latest flagship, the Pixel 6. On a sidenote, OPPO has also said that it wishes to develop its own chip using TSMC’s 3nm fabs, which are only expected to enter mass production sometime in the next year....

From the photos provided by reliable leakster Evan Blass (aka EvLeaks) via Twitter, the new smartwatch is shown to arrive with an almost similar design as its predecessor. This includes sporting a curved display that is encased in what appears to be an aluminium alloy frame, with two physical buttons situated on the right-hand side.

The same can be said regarding its full specifications as well, which the company has only vaguely provided in its recent press release....

The prime minister notes that TNB is currently working to increase its energy production by using renewable energy sources and providing adequate EV charging stations. With this, he suggests that Perodua should take this opportunity to work together with the national utility company to explore new fields.

Ismail says this would also help Malaysia to achieve its target of being a carbon-neutral nation by as early as 2050....

The X2 is equipped with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ display that supports HDR 10 standard and has 120Hz refresh rate.

The movie itself is the 22nd movie of the Pokemon franchise. Being a remake, it will have the same general plot as the first one, revolving around the eponymous Mewtwo. The movie was a success when it premiered in Japan last year, no doubt with nostalgia playing a major role. The trailer, embedded above, gives a glimpse into the film’s CGI. It’s definitely a different flavour compared to the original, but it’s also not quite what you’d expect if you’ve watched Detective Pikachu....

For example, the highest-end chip family would be the Snapdragon 8-series which includes the recently announced Snapdragon 888 while the Snapdragon 2-series processors such as the Snapdragon 212 are meant for feature phones and entry-level smartphones. Hence, Snapdragon 480 can be seen as Qualcomm’s latest effort to bring 5G connectivity to mainstream users after Snapdragon 690 and Snapdragon 765/765G....
