The Invisible Engine: Understanding Android Phone Processors

 When people shop for an Android phone, they often focus on the camera, display, or battery life. But beneath all those features lies the true powerhouse of the device—the processor. Often overlooked, the processor (also called the chipset or SoC, System-on-a-Chip) is what determines how smoothly your phone runs, how well it handles games, and even how good your photos turn out. What Makes an Android Processor Unique? Unlike traditional computer CPUs, Android phone processors are designed to do many jobs at once while using as little power as possible. They combine several components into one compact chip: CPU (Central Processing Unit): Handles general tasks like opening apps and running the operating system. GPU (Graphics Processing Unit): Responsible for visuals, gaming, and video playback. AI Engine (NPU): Powers features like face recognition, voice assistants, and camera enhancements. Modem: Enables connectivity such as 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. This integr...

Patients are turning to mobile health apps to get their healthcare

  Mobile health (mHealth) apps that can help manage diseases and track key data in between physician visits are rising in popularity. Still, app developers will need to enhance their products’ value in order for consumers and healthcare partners to fully invest. We detail the market for condition-specific mHealth apps and examine what trends have been driving recent growth in our recently published Mobile Health Apps for Disease Management report. Below, we highlight some of the key points from the report. Disease management health apps are rising to prominence. The amount of publicly available health condition management apps reviewed by IQVIA has increased by nearly 20 percentage points since 2015, while the number of exercise and fitness apps has declined. Thanks to their improved features that help manage conditions in between physician visits, apps specifically tailored for diabetes, mental and behavioral health, and heart disease are becoming the most prevalen...

What Are Some Ways to Test and Find Bugs on Mobile Apps?

  Today, the trend of mobile app development is rapidly expanding. There are 2.7 billion smartphone users and 1.35 billion tablet users worldwide. What would customers do with their smartphones and tablets? According to reports, 90 per cent of mobile app usage time is spent on mobile apps. We occasionally discover bugs that cause an app's performance to be slow and destructive. According to a report on mobile application bugs, it was discovered that nearly 88 per cent of users abandon the use of the app due to bugs and glitches. Having bugs in a mobile application isn't such a big deal. The important thing is to find these bugs to restore an application's working efficiency.

3 Re-Engagement Strategies To Drive Mobile App Usage

  I saw somewhere that mobile apps account for 90% of mobile users' online time, so I decided to do more research. It turns out that even though we spend so much time on apps, this 90% is spread across just 26 apps, and guess what, we only REALLY use 5-7. So for me, the 5 apps I use every day are Instagram, Twitter, Whatsapp, Slack, Gmail, and any other 2 apps.  After seeing all of these, the next question that popped into my mind was, “how can I get products I work on to be on someone’s top 7 apps list?” — the answer, a detailed re-engagement strategy. What are Engagement and Re-Engagement in Mobile Apps? Engagements are interactions between a user and a tech product, in this case, a mobile app. Engagement can be measured using different metrics depending on what the product is and the goals the product is set to achieve. Every day, you see products recording a high number of downloads or signups, but the real question is, are people us...

Gmail app hits 10 billion installs on Android, only slightly higher than your unread emails

  Meanwhile, Inbox is at — what, too soon? How long have you had your Gmail address? Longer than you've been at your job? Longer than your current relationship? At this point, Google's free email service is nothing less than an internet institution. As we look forward to seeing how it will continue to evolve over the next 20 years, we're witnessing the Gmail Android app pass a significant milestone, as the Play Store tallies up 10 billion installs. Granted, Gmail comes preinstalled on a lot of Android devices, but we're not about to let a little thing like that take away from this accomplishment. Gmail is just the latest in a string of core Google apps that have already crossed the 10B threshold, starting with Play services and followed by YouTube and later Maps. Along with Gmail now, these are the only four Android apps to have ever reached this lofty height. ANDROIDPOLICE VIDEO OF THE DAY What's going to be the next Android app to hit 10 bi...

How to use Do Not Disturb mode on Android

  Our smartphones have increasingly become our portals to the outside world. They keep us in close contact with friends and family even when we're thousands of miles apart and give us access to the latest breaking news. But at some point, one must take a break from the meme stream and get a bit of peace and quiet from their device. Fortunately, Android devices have a Do Not Disturb (or DND) mode built right into them, so you can silence your phone for those moments where you don't need the distraction. Turning on Do Not Disturb mode First things first: if you want to set your phone to DND, you'll need to find it in the settings. Assuming you know your way around your device, this isn't tricky, but it's in slightly different places on different phones. ANDROIDPOLICE VIDEO OF THE DAY On Pixel phones Below the Turn on now button, you'll also find options for making exceptions to your DND rules. Tap on each option and then select the contacts,...
