Motorola and HTC Confirm They Don’t Throttle Older Devices

Late last week, Apple admitted to throttling the processor speeds of older iPhones as their batteries age. The behavior is intended to protect the phones’ electronic components, Apple claims, and to prevent them from shutting down unexpectedly. But Android manufacturers haven’t followed suit, and this week, Motorola and HTC became the first to confirm that they don’t slow down older devices.

Those statements were provided to The Verge, which reached out to a number of Android OEMs to see if they’d adopted Apple’s device-slowing practices. In addition to Motorola and HTC, the publication requested comment from manufacturers including Google, Samsung, LG, and Sony, but as of publication time, only Sony and Samsung have responded. A Sony spokesperson said the holidays would delay the company’s response, and a Samsung spokesperson said the company’s mobile team was “looking into it”.

There’s been an uproar in the iOS community since the information came to light — and for good reason. While it’s true that lithium-ion batteries tend to degrade over time, and that characteristics like cell capacity and peak current are affected by age, there are a lot of variables at play. And Apple, which started to slow down the processors in the iPhone 6, 6S, and SE via a software update last year, didn’t disclose the behavior to users.

That’s left a lot of iPhone owners feeling slighted — enough so that some of them hope to bring a class action lawsuit against the iPhone maker. Lucky for owners of Motorola and HTC devices, it seems that won’t be necessary.

Dirac partners with AAC Technologies to Bring Enhanced Audio Quality to Smartphones, Smart Speakers, and more For the past few years, audio quality in mobile devices has become an increasingly higher priority. There was a time when audio quality was valued only by a few smartphone vendors, but that trend is slowly changing. We have seen the arrival of smartphones which specifically promote great audio quality as a feature, such as HTC’s smartphones since the One M7 as well as LG’s V series flagships . We have also seen the rise of stereo speakers in mobile, better DACs (such as Qualcomm’s Aqstic DAC ), and in general, a better audio experience. However, there still remains quite a way to go for smartphones to improve in audio quality. This is why AAC Technologies and Dirac Research have partnered to build first-of-their-kind audio systems that integrate Dirac’s audio processing technology with AAC Technologies’ micro-speaker technology. Dirac Research is an audio technology company wh

New Microsoft Patent Shows Dual-Screen Device with 360-Degree Rotation Support In recent years, Microsoft’s efforts in mobile haven’t been a resounding success. The company banked most of its hope on Windows Phone, and purchased Nokia’s Devices and Services division in 2014 to compete with Android and iOS. However, Windows Phone and its successor, Windows 10 Mobile, failed to gain traction, and Microsoft discontinued the Lumia smartphone lineup in 2016 as a result. Since then, rumors persist that Microsoft hasn’t completely closed the chapter on its mobile efforts, despite ending support for Windows Mobile and Windows Phone. Specifically, the company’s reportedly working on a new ARM-powered Surface device, code-named “ Andromeda “, that’s highly portable. Recently, Microsoft posted a job posting  that hinted at its plans. And this week,  Windows Latest  discovered a Microsoft patent that shows a mobile device with a foldable display.   Source: Windows Latest The patent, titled “Hinge

Canceled Lumia Device Shown Off in Video with Pen Input Currently, the mobile operating system market resembles a duopoly, with Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS in a league of their own. It wasn’t always this way, though. Smartphone enthusiasts will remember that at one time, Nokia’s Symbian was the most widely used mobile operating system in the world. Symbian couldn’t compete in the touchscreen era, but for a time, Microsoft’s Windows Phone looked to be a credible competitor to Android and iOS. Microsoft acquired Nokia’s Devices and Services division in 2014, and Windows Phone was starting to succeed in the budget smartphone market in some countries. However, it all went downhill from there as Windows 10 Mobile — Windows Phone’s successor — failed to take off in the market because of various reasons. In 2016, the company discontinued the Lumia smartphone lineup, and we haven’t seen a new mobile device from Microsoft since then. It’s worth noting, though, that rumors are abound rega
