Recently Google has officially confirmed that the Pixel 7 series can only run 64-bit applications. A few days ago, blogger @MishaalRahman also told via Twitter that Google Pixel 7 series is supporting only 64-bit apps.

@MishaalRahman also pointed out that Android 13 on Pixel 7 phones doesn’t allow 32-bit apps to run, internally, the OS is still using some 32-bit libraries, which means that Google will intentionally run 32 -bit is preventing apps from running.

Google has shared some information about its Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro phones in a blog post on the developer’s official website. Which clarified that the Pixel 7 series is the first pure 64-bit Android smartphone

Why did Google use 64 bit and what are its benefits

Google developers believe that 64-bit applications run faster than 32-bit applications because they can use additional registers and instructions that 32-bit applications cannot. Additionally, newer CPUs offer up to 25% performance gains when running 64-bit code, and some processors even drop support for 32-bit code entirely.

Plus, it can help improve security. The larger address space makes security such as ASLR more effective, and additional bits can be used to protect the integrity of the control flow. These countermeasures reduce the chance of an intruder taking control of the equipment.

Google’s developer experts say that removing support for 32-bit code can save up to 150MB of RAM, which the operating system uses even when 32-bit applications are not running. Due to this, the user gets more RAM space. Also, Google developers can use better tools like HWASan to detect device memory errors and improve application quality.

However, Google has clarified that pure 32-bit devices are still important for Android Go, Android TV, and Android Wear, and Google Play will continue to provide 32-bit applications for pure 32-bit devices.

Google Pixel Watch is the latest wearable device released by it. Some users think they’ve encountered a “burnt out” screen, but Google said it’s only an afterthought.

In a related case, “screen burn-in” affected the Pixel Watch (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi) for at least 12 hours a day with AOD enabled for five days, according to 9to5 Google was used. Superimposed numbers on the “Daily” dial on the app list and the right-hand circle component (for the date) can be seen indistinctly, or any other gray background that isn’t completely black.

If AOD is turned off, the problem disappears in about 30 minutes. i.e. as soon as the watch face appears again, it will be regenerated. The IT house has learned that the Pixel Watch is equipped with a 320PPI AMOLED display that “boosts up to 1000 nits brightness”, and the affected watches have Adaptive Brightness enabled.

According to Google, there was no permanent burn-in on the Pixel Watch, but rather a temporary problem with subsequent images. The company insists that it is “not a precursor to burn-in” and that it will disappear over time, although “the longer it is on the screen, the more it will disappear”.

In terms of security, the Pixel Watch uses a “software algorithm that changes the brightness of the lit pixel every minute to reduce the chances of the image sticking.” Google said that “should not be the case for most users”.

“This prolongs the time before the image is glued to the view and reduces the time it takes for the after image to disappear. If the user experiences this, it will disappear over time, but the user will continue to AOD. You can also turn it off and/or use sleep front mode. Sleep so the screen stays off at night.”

Historically, Android Wear and Wear OS have provided burn-in protection that slowly moves the pixels on the screen over time so that the end user won’t notice the discrepancy.

The Android dev says, “On screens prone to burn-in, solid color blocks in ambient mode should be avoided. If icons or images include solid color blocks, a burn-in safe version should also be provided.”

Pixel phones haven’t suffered widespread AOD-related burn-in since the feature was introduced on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL in 2017.

Companies like Samsung and Motorola have already launched their foldable smartphone. Now the news is that Google will also soon launch a folding screen mobile phone, which will be tentatively named Pixel Fold, and internally codenamed Felix.

91mobiles claimed that it has received information about the specifications of the display of Google Pixel Fold. The information provided by Kuba Wojciechowski is the developer of Google Company.

As per reports, the Google Pixel Fold will be equipped with a Samsung screen including an internal and external display which indicates that it is an internal foldable phone. The internal folding screen has a resolution of 1840×2208, and its size is 123mm×148mm. The peak brightness will reach 1200nits, the average brightness is 800nits, and can support a 120Hz high refresh rate.

According to previous reports, Google Pixel Fold will be equipped with triple rear cameras, the main camera will be equipped with a Sony IMX787 sensor, as well as IMX386 ultra-wide-angle lens and S5K3J1 telephoto lens. The front camera of the inner screen is equipped with an IMX355 sensor, while the outer screen may use a telephoto selfie S5K3J1 which is expected to launch in March 2023.

Digital blogger @Digital Chat Station revealed the Google Pixel folding screen phone in August. The rear module of the phone is similar to the Google Pixel 7, and the front is a bit like the OPPO Find N. At the same time, the machine will adopt a relatively small size large screen with a horizontal inward folding design, an outer screen. There is a focused single hole, and the inner screen is a full screen without a hole, but the inner screen is not without a camera, but the ultra-micro hole camera is installed on the border.
