Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 is actually a less powerfull Snapdragon 665

So I just bought a moto G9 play and ran CPU Z on it. This is what shows up

It's not a big deal at all but I thought some people might find it interesting. They probably had a bad batch and decided to rename it to 662....

Why hasn't google put Duplex's AI voice into Assistant?

Google announced Duplex at I/O 2018, so why haven't they put that human like voice into assistant yet? That would really up the experience of assistant when you feel like you're talking to an actual human being.

Edit: Hoping someone from Google/Android team sees this post and makes the necessary changes because I really think that can do it without too much effort....

The Motorola Edge+ is totally underrated. What do you think?

Recently picked up a Motorola edge+ and I absolutely love it.

- Probably one of the few phones that has international 5g bands. The other phone that I know has NA bands and N78 is the Rog phone 3 version A.

- Qi charging and 5000mah battery

- 21:9 screen ratio, one of the features I really enjoyed from the Sony Xperia 1 ii. My screen is not suffering from the green tint.

- 3.5 mm headphone jack

- Camera is OKAY. Not as good as other flagships but definitely good enough for most situations....

Samsung wireless Dex is the coolest new feature that no one is talking about

I have been a long time occasional Dex user.

​

It has been a really cool feature for years, but the need for additional equipment has really made it a niche feature.

​

While I as a nerd had no issue adding a USB C adapter, HDMI cable, and wireless keyboard to my travel bag I can understand why it was high bar for entry for a lot of people.

​

However I just got the One UI 2.5 update, and I am now lounging on my couch with a wireless desktop projected on my TV typing ...
