TL;DR touch screen working correctly when wet (ie in the rain, or in my case, the shower ๐)
I dont want to read the article, what..uhh....what's the solution? And is it coming (will they sell it to) to other phones too?
Edit: read the article and there's no mention of it. Just talks about the ram of it, as if phones were short RAM these days.
Second paragraph:
"The company has revealed that the upcoming OnePlus Ace 2 Pro includes โRainwater Touch Controlโ technology, which combines a custom screen chip and some algorithms to account for water on the display, and prevent it from interfering with taps and swipes."
I wonder if it's as simple as just slowing down the input reading to a human reaction time level. At least my screen seems to take 15 000 inputs at the same time when wet.
Partially off topic, but I won't buy OnePlus anymore, because they lock down the bootloader.
I'll similarly stay away from OnePlus as they are basically nothing more than overpriced af "stock-like" clones of Oppo/Vivo at this point.
My 8Pro is the last 1+ I'll own. Looking longingly at Nothing Phone next year I think, but this phone has been wonky last few days. Keyboards not working, apps not working correctly (and are updated). Could technwbe because I'm still on Android 11, but the 1+ track record for stable Android releases isn't great either.
I also got the 8 pro a while ago, it was such a shame watching their UI get uglier and uglier over time. I loved the warp charge feature
I just last week updated from A11 to A13, I do not enjoy it. I did it because some functionality was getting weird; Bluetooth dropping from Android Auto repeatedly, SwiftKey keyboard not working with some apps, weird app responses and delays.
Some of the issues resolved, new ones cropped up. I'm getting more and more frustrated with it.
The only reason I can think of is for more on device ai. LLMs like ChatGPT are extremely greedy when it comes down to RAM. There are some optimizations that squeeze them into a smaller memory footprint at the expense of accuracy/capability. Even some of the best phones out there today are barely capable of running a stripped down generative ai. When they do, the output is nowhere near as good as when it is run in an uncompressed mode on a server.
For the user? Not at all. For the companies that want their spying/tracking apps to run and take your precious data 24/7? Yes, this way dozens of apps can track you even if you open a hundred more afterwards and forget about them, they can live forever deep down those 24gb
Mostly caching I guess, so less cold starting of apps
It will allow future developers to create even less optimized apps and not worry about how resources are used.

the tl;dr is the OnePlus video I shared here a while ago: https://lemmy.world/post/2988195

oneplus isn't stock like anymore
but they are competitive again with the 11
Just curious, is 24GB of RAM in a smartphone useful for anything?
It will let you run more advanced local AI. I'm looking forward to running private LLMs.
Doubt it, I don't use so much even on my gaming PC.

Hopefully this becomes standard. Looks like Apple were looking into it too
