Google Pixel 8 Series will get 7 years of Android OS upgrade
Google has offered 7 yrs of OS updates, 7yrs of Security Patches & 7yrs of feature drops updates on Pixel 8 smartphones.
Pixel 8 series gets guaranteed updates till October 2030
Most people don't keep the same phone for so long, but this is great for those who don't want to buy a new one every few years.
Also, if someone buys a Pixel 8 Pro in 2027 for $250-$300, it'll still get updates for 3 more years. You might just need a new battery, that's it.
With their own Tensor chips, Google can easily run their own Foundational AI & Machine learning models as well
Qualcomm is also very famous for their BSP & vendor freeze practices
Do You Think, Google made the BEST decision of ditching Qualcomm Snapdragon for their own Tensor chips

The Unheard NOKIA Here Camera
Source
Back in 2013, Nokia’s HERE division was developing "Rebel" (RX-117) which was the World’s First truly connected outdoor camera.
This camera packed LTE, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC with a 41MP camera like the Lumia series & even had IP68 rating in the 2013 era
Wi-Fi or LTE connection was available to automatically upload all images, videos & location data to the cloud which could be accessed through some web app
This camera was even ready for mass production but unfortunately it never appeared in the markets because Nokia's HERE division underwent a management change and then Nokia also DIED
Shown in the images above are "Motion Postcards" – images or videos stamped with location data of the user’s choosing, ready to post to social media.

Facebook's AI stickers can also create Nude, Rude and Lewd stickers for you
Source
Some Facebook Messenger users have found the Meta's NEW Generative AI stickers feature can generate inappropriate images too including child soldiers, nude politicians, and lots and lots of b**bs.
Users using their creativity have successfully generated stickers such as — Mickey Mouse taking a shit, Nude illustrations of Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau etc
There’s even a sticker that depicts a woman breastfeeding Pikachu 💀
Meta's AI-generated stickers allow users to create “multiple unique, high-quality stickers in seconds” using text-based prompts.
This feature will be available for Facebook Stories, Instagram and even WhatsApp this month, so it’s unclear how many users currently have access to the feature

Rest in Hell MIUI
MIUI 14 will be the LAST official major version of MIUI. Xiaomi 14 series will debut with Xiaomi's brand new software aka the "MiOS"
So, after rebranding Single Xiaomi smartphone to 69 other smartphones, Xiaomi is now rebranding its software aka MIUI
MiOS could be just another rebranded MIUI 15 LOL
Now if that doesn't happens, MiOS would be just another fork of Android which is made by Google, that Xiaomi would claim it as "their own" LOL
That's because MiOS will support AOSP for sure
MIUI: 2010 ~ 2023 🪦
You will NOT be remembered. BURN in HELL
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will launch on 24th October globally and Xiaomi 14 Series will debut on 31st October in China

Google Pixel 8a Renders
Source
Pixel 8a will pack a 6.1" OLED Flat Display and will be slimmer than Pixel 7a.
Pixel 8a will be powered by Google Tensor G3 chip and is codenamed as "Akita"
Dimensions measure as 152.1 x 72.6 x 8.9mm.
Note: Pixel 8a is still in EVT stages
Also, since the Pixel 8a launch will depend upon Pixel 7a sales which are pretty bad because of price gap b/w Pixel 7a and Pixel 7, there are chances that Google may not launch Pixel 8a at all

Forwarded from Mishaal's Android News Feed
The Pixel 8 is the first phone to capture photos in Ultra HDR, a new format that I think could be the future of mobile photography!
Ultra HDR is something you really need to see to understand, though, so I worked with Dylan Raga to put together a demo that shows it off. The results are STUNNING!
If you're using a Chromium-based browser on a PC running Windows 11/macOS with an HDR display or on a Pixel 7 running Android 14, then you can see these Ultra HDR samples in their full glory by going to the GitHub repo linked in my latest article for Android Police.
On Wednesday, you're going to see a lot of reviews of the Pixel 8 series go up. Unfortunately, since platform support for Ultra HDR is so limited, many of those reviews will be unable to showcase the photos taken from the phone in their full glory.
Most social media sites and CMSes compress images, which will result in the HDR gain map being removed from the Ultra HDR .jpg. Even Windows File Explorer corrupts the metadata when you simply edit the EXIF tags!
Oh, and the photos I took were all from a Pixel 6 Pro using Google Camera 9.1 (pulled from a Pixel 8). This means that yes, certain older Pixels are able to capture in Ultra HDR as well.
