I bet this is for compression for mobile networks. Saw those pictures on a phone screen and they looked fine. Plus, webcams just look like shit. Even if your Pixel 8 Pro is compressed as fuck, it’s still gonna look better than most people’s webcam.
Huawei keeps on winning
Y’all are ignoring what this actually is - an app for EVERY video platform. Also, restrictive license is fine as long as the source code is available. Rossman explains this is to keep people from just forking and making scam versions of the app like NewPipe sees.
I mean they do have Android drivers for Exynos now, but if normal devs are still working around snapdragon the effects will still be felt. For all the pull Samsung has, Snapdragon has a much bigger market share.
Pretty much all Android drivers are for snapdragon. Not just using a snapdragon is pretty much asking for a bad time.
Yeah, however I think this is one of those things that should be a stock feature. Most people who use webcams aren’t tech people and want a plug and play experience. It isn’t particularly hard to implement and helps Android stay competitive with Apple’s user experience.
Lol this is funny. I wouldn’t really call it much of a war, it’s Apple holding back easily implemented features to cater to elitism. Would platforms like WhatsApp have taken over so heavily if basic texting was actually good enough?
Moto 360 and Pebble Watch are still sick af today
Kbin is definitely the answer here.
…an enthusiast device that isn’t Snapdragon?
What a bad idea
