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

Xiaomi is Recruiting Beta Testers for the Mi Mix 2 Android Oreo Update The Xiaomi Mi A1, which is part of Google’s Android One program,  received an update to Android Oreo a few days ago . But the rest of Xiaomi’s devices run MIUI , Xiaomi’s proprietary software layer, and they haven’t gotten Oreo yet. That won’t be the case for much longer, though — in December, Xiaomi started recruiting beta testers for an Android Oreo update for the Mi 6 , and later that month, the company launched a closed beta program for the Mi Mix 2’s Oreo update.

LG Plans to Rebrand its G Series Smartphone Lineup Branding is something that companies spend a lot of money on — a product’s success hinges partially on its brand, it’s often said. That’s one reason why  LG, which hasn’t had much success in the smartphone business lately, is ditching its G series smartphone lineup for a different one. The company says it’ll unveil a replacement in the first half of 2018, according to The Investor . An LG official said   that the company’s been tossing around a lot of ideas, including a two-digit number series and a completely new name. LG kicked off the G series in 2012 with the LG Optimus G. The phone garnered critical praise, with some reviewers saying it was the best smartphone hardware that the company had ever produced. The LG Optimus G Pro was next in line, the LG G2 after it. But recently, the G series hasn’t been able to keep up with the competition. The  modular LG G5 failed to attract attention away from juggernauts like the Samsung Galax
