Google Pixel 7a Refresh Rrate drops from 90Hz to 60Hz: Lowers Display Refresh Rate in Bright Sunlight Automatically

Google Pixel 7a

HIGHLIGHTS

* Google Pixel 7a reportedly drops to 60Hz from 90Hz when it’s not supposed to.
* This was raised by a user who said the Pixel 7a automatically drops to 60Hz when outdoors.
* It happens even when the phone isn’t hot, which seems to be a flaw. 
* Pixel 7a sports an 6.1-inch OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate
* It is said to automatically lower the display’s refresh rate in sunlight
* Pixel 7a owners can set the display to always refresh at 90Hz

The Google Pixel 7a is one of the best budget phones you can get right now. Launched at I/O 2023, the device packs a handful of upgrades from its predecessor, including a beefed-up 90Hz display refresh rate.

While this still pales in comparison to the 120Hz displays on phones like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, it’s a decent addition on a sub-$500 phone. However, the display on the Pixel 7a may not be operating as intended, especially in sunny conditions, as per one Reddit user.

Redditor pawlikx_iron noticed the 90Hz refresh rate comes down to 60Hz when in broad daylight, adding that it goes back up to 90Hz when they are under shade. This implies a correlation between sunlight exposure and the lowering of the device’s refresh rate.

Sunny conditions naturally make the phone hot, with one individual in the comments suggesting that the drop in the refresh rate could be due to the Pixel 7a’s built-in thermal throttling mechanism.
However, the affected user claims their Pixel 7a feels “cool, not hot.” Google is yet to comment on this behavior.

But this doesn’t necessarily mean you can never use your Pixel 7a in sunny conditions. As one user points out in the replies, all you need to do is head over to Developer options from your Pixel 7a’s Settings and toggle Force peak refresh rate.

A quick search for this toggle within the Settings app would work, too. You can follow Google’s instructions to enable Developer options on your Pixel 7a if you haven’t done so already

Google launched the Pixel 7a smartphone in India last month, its affordable offering from its flagship Pixel series.
The phone doesn’t lack in terms of specifications since you get the same Tensor G2 chipset, one of the best cameras, and a 90Hz display.
The Pixel 7a, is however, facing display issues according to complaints raised by some users.

Google Pixel 7a Refresh Rate issue

Google Pixel 7a

According to a Redditor pawlikx_iron (via Android Police), the Pixel 7a’s screen automatically switches to 60Hz from 90Hz when outdoors. This happens even when the temperature outside isn’t hot, and it goes back to 90Hz when the user is under the shade.
The Pixel 7a’s display has a refresh rate up to 90Hz, which switches to 60Hz depending on the phone’s usage and power management.

If the temperature outside is hot, then it would make sense for the Pixel 7a to automatically drop the refresh rate to 60Hz. This is because a higher refresh rate leads to more battery consumption.

But this wasn’t the case for this Pixel 7a user. It isn’t clear yet why this happens but it could be due to outdoor brightness affecting the phone’s display.

This might also not affect many users, except for those who are deeply concerned about the scrolling experience on their Pixel 7a. And for such users who wish to have this, then they can make some adjustments. This is by setting 90Hz as the default refresh rate setting for the Pixel 7a from the Developer options, and turn on ‘Force peak refresh rate’.

Google Pixel 7a

You will have to first enable Developer options by going to Settings > About phone > Build number. Then tap on Build number till you see the message that says, “You are now a developer!” You can then change certain settings available under Developer options.

It was revealed last week that Google may be using a slightly slower version of the Tensor G2 chip on the Pixel 7a compared to the one used on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.
This, according to noted leaker Kamila Wojciechowska, could also lead to the phone being hotter than its Pixel 7 siblings.

Faqs

1) Google Pixel 7a doesn’t stay at 90hz all the time — what you need to know?

Ans) The Google Pixel 7a is one of the best cheap phones you can buy right now, with the $99 price tag offering a range of premium features, great photos and solid performance. One of those features is the 90Hz display. Unfortunately, like a hi-tech vampire, that screen may have a weakness to bright sunlight.

The Pixel 7a’s refresh rate isn’t adaptive, so that 90Hz refresh rate should stay that way no matter what. But Reddit user pawlikx_iron has noticed that isn’t always the case. Apparently bright sunlight forces the Pixel 7a’s screen to drop to 60Hz, only for it to jump back to 90Hz once you’re in the shade.

Pawlikz_iron notes that the phone is still cool when the refresh rate takes a dip, but other commenters have noted this seems to be by design. Strong sunlight can heat things up pretty quickly, and higher temperatures typically leads to a loss of power efficiency.

It was recently revealed that the Pixel 7a uses a less efficient version of the Tensor G2 chipset — which can cause the phone to run hotter than other Pixel 7 devices. So it’s possible Google has taken a more proactive stance to ensure the Pixel 7a’s temperature stays as stable as possible.
Shortly after launch users noted that the Pixel 4 was having issues maintaining a 90Hz refresh rate — and the problem was lighting conditions. Setting the screen brightness below 75% caused a dip to 60hz, except in conditions with sufficient ambient lighting, with Google noting this was a power-saving move. Shortly after this news broke Google released updates to ensure 90hz was available in more lighting conditions.

It’s not clear whether Google will do anything similar with the Pixel 7a, but there is something you can do about it at home. As one Reddit user points out, heading into Developer options will reveal an option to Force peak refresh rate. That should force your phone to stick to 90Hz in all conditions, though you should be aware that excess heat will affect power efficiency and could damage your battery over time.

Developer options are hidden by default, but it can be revealed by heading to Settings > About phone > tapping Build number seven times and entering your PIN. You can then find the Developer options menu in the System menu of the settings, or by searching for it.

2) What Esper’s Mishaal Rahman say about the Pixel 7a Refresh Rate ?

Ans) Esper’s Mishaal Rahman states that the drop in the Pixel 7a’s display refresh rate is intentional, based on a commit in Google’s open-source code for the device that is designed to lock the refresh rate of the phone at 60Hz when the ambient brightness is higher than 50,000 lux. Other Pixel phones should also offer the same functionality, he added.

3) What can google 7a users do to bypass the refresh rate issue ?

Ans) Users who want to bypass this functionality on their Pixel 7a can use a workaround suggested by one of the users in the comments to force the smartphone’s display to always refresh at 90Hz. The fix involves enabling the hidden developer options menu by tapping on Settings > About phone > Build number.

After this is enabled, users can open the settings app and tap on Developer options > Force peak refresh rate in order to permanently set the display’s refresh rate to 90Hz. However, it is worth noting that enabling this feature could lead to increased battery drain, as the smartphone won’t be optimising the refresh rate for optimal power consumption.

HIGHLIGHTS

* Samsung Galaxy S23 FE will feature triple cameras, a flat display, a punch-hole cutout and a White colour option.
* Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is expected to come with Exynos 2200, a 50MP camera, and 25W fast charging support.
* Samsung Galaxy S23 FE may debut in Q3 this year and expand to more markets by Q4.
* The Galaxy S23FE maybe relatively bulkier than the vanilla S23.
* It may come with Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC, which also powers the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
* The new S23 series carries Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE has been rumoured to be in the works since the launch of the Galaxy S23 series earlier this year, but there’s no official confirmation from the company yet. It appears the phone will launch in the coming months.

According to SmartPrix, in collaboration with tipster OnLeaks, the Galaxy S23 FE may feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC instead of an Exynos SoC. The publication has also leaked the phone’s renders, likely based on a prototype.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

The renders highlight a striking resemblance between the Galaxy A54 and the Galaxy S23 FE. Going by previous ‘FE’ models, we can expect this model to feature a mix of plastic and metal body to keep the price more affordable.

The render also showcases a white model, though there could be more options. The Galaxy S23 FE may feature a flat display and three cameras on the back.

The phone may measure 158 x 76.3 x 8.2mm, which makes it relatively bulkier than the vanilla S23. The latter measures 146.3×70.9×7.6 mm.

In terms of specifications, the Galaxy phone may come with Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC, which also powers the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The new S23 series carries Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Storage configurations may include options of 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB and 256GB of storage.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

The rear camera system may include a 50-megapixel sensor and the front may have a 12-megapixel snapper. Other features include a 4500mAh battery with 25W charging and an AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

The report suggests the Galaxy S23 FE may launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 series at the end of July. However, it is likely that Samsung may restrict the phone to select markets, which may or may not include India.

That’s because the country already has a Galaxy A54 for Rs 40,999. Whereas, the Galaxy S23 costs Rs 74,999 for the base storage variant.
 On the other hand, the Galaxy S23 FE will cover the Rs 50K segment if it launches.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, the next smartphone in the Galaxy S23 series, has surfaced in renders, thanks to @OnLeaks. This has a familiar design that coincides with the other phones in the S23 series, and still retains triple rear cameras.

Based on the renders, the bezels are larger than the S21 FE. It is said to measure 158 x 76.3 x 8.2mm, making it slightly taller and thicker than the S21 FE which measures 155.7 x 74.5 x 7.9mm, even though the S23 FE is said to retain the 6.4-inch screen.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

Based on earlier rumours, the S23 FE will be powered by Exynos 2200 SoC with AMD-powered Xclipse 920 GPU, but Samsung is said to have redesigned the Exynos 2200 to improve yield which is almost on par with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

The phone is said to get a new 50MP camera, an upgrade from 12MP in the predecessor, and coinciding with the S23, pack 6GB or 8GB RAM with 128GB or 256GB storage and a 4,500mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is expected to roll out in select markets in Q3, 2023, and launch widely in Q4 2023 and in Q1 2024.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 are the two upcoming foldable phones from the South Korean giant and these are expected to debut in July in South Korea first and later expand globally.

Amidst this, Samsung appears to be working on the new Fan Edition mode, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. This will arrive as a successor to the Galaxy S21 FE. Now, ahead of the announcement, the renders of the phone have leaked online .

Faqs

1) Galaxy S23 FE design leak shows thick and uneven bezels.Details?

Ans) Galaxy S23 FE has a 6.4-inch screen with thick bezels

The design of the Galaxy S23 FE has been revealed by tipster @OnLeaks in collaboration with SmartPrix. If these images are based on accurate dimensions, the Galaxy S23 FE seems to have pretty thick and uneven bezels surrounding the screen. The phone seems to have a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen. It also appears to have a triple-camera setup on the rear, similar to the Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S23+. Gone is the camera island design on the Galaxy S21 FE, making way for three individual camera rings.

The phone has curved sides and edges. Since it doesn’t seem to have a side-mounted fingerprint reader, we expect the phone to feature an in-display fingerprint reader. According to the report, the Galaxy S23 FE measures 58 x 76.3 x 8.2mm. Since the Galaxy A54 5G has glass on the front and the rear, we expect the Galaxy S23 FE to also feature a glass back, unlike the Galaxy S20 FE and the Galaxy S21 FE, which have plastic backs.

Galaxy S23 FE leaked specifications

Previous reports claim that the Galaxy S23 FE will come equipped with the Exynos 2200 processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB/256GB internal storage, a 4,500mAh battery, and 25W fast charging. It could have a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a dedicated telephoto camera. There is no concrete information about the Galaxy S23 FE’s selfie camera resolution. We can also expect the phone to feature an IP67 rating, stereo speakers, and wireless charging.

2) Samsung Galaxy S23 FE renders leak online ahead of launch.Details?

Ans) Samsung looks set to debut the Galaxy S23 FE later in the year after opting out of a Galaxy S22 FE release last year. Renders of the sub-premium device have now leaked online, revealing a design consistent with Samsung’s recent smartphones.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is coming. After skipping the Galaxy S22 FE generation last year, Samsung looks set to return to its “Fan Edition” series this year with the S23 FE, and renders of the phone have now leaked.

As expected, the Galaxy S23 FE will share its design DNA with the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus. Phones like the Galaxy A54 and A34 share a similar design as well, so it’s hardly surprising. Supposedly, the S23 FE will measure in at 158 x 76.3 x 8.2 mm—essentially the same size as the Galaxy S23 Plus, albeit a tad thicker.

Spec-wise, the S23 FE is expected to feature a 120 Hz AMOLED, potentially up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, a 4500 mAh battery, and 25 W charging. The 50 MP main cameras from the S22 and S23 are tipped to make an appearance as well, although it’s unlikely the telephoto and ultra-wide cameras retain the same hardware as the flagship S23 and S23 Plus phones. Lastly, it seems the S23 FE will launch with either the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, the Exynos 2200, or even likelier, a combo of the two depending on regions.

3) Samsung Galaxy S23 FE leaked renders reveal a new, but familiar design.Details?

Ans) Samsung‘s Galaxy S FE series has gained popularity among users seeking a high-quality Samsung experience at a more affordable price point. These devices have established a reputation for being well-rounded smartphones that offer excellent value for money. Interestingly, Samsung opted not to release an S22 FE last year, which came as a surprise to many. However, recent rumors indicate that the S23 FE is in the works, and renowned tipster Onleaks has shared insights into its design.

According to a report in collaboration with tipster OnLeaks, the Galaxy S23 FE will adapt the design language of the other Galaxy S23 series devices. This means a minimalistic design with three camera lenses protruding from the back. The sides will be curved to make it comfortable to hold, and the phone will feature a USB-C port and speaker grille at the bottom.

Up front, the display will likely come with symmetrical bezels and a tiny top-center punch hole for the camera. The report mentions that the display will measure around 6.4 inches, while the complete device will measure 158 x 76.3 x 8.2mm.

4) What are Samsung Galaxy S23 FE specs?

Ans) A recent report claims that the Galaxy S23 FE will be launching in the third quarter of 2023. Unfortunately, the report goes on to say that the device will only be made available in select markets. Specs-wise, the Galaxy S23 FE is predominantly rumored to come with an Exynos 2200 chipset, however, rumors are also rife that some markets could get a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 version.

Apart from that, the device is said to feature a 120Hz AMOLED panel which could measure 6.4 inches with an FHD+ resolution. According to rumors, the Galaxy S23 FE is speculated to offer multiple storage configurations, giving users the choice between 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. The phone is expected to come with a 4500mAh battery, which will support 25W fast charging. Picture quality on the Galaxy S23 FE could improve as rumors suggest that the device will feature a 50MP camera, instead of the 12MP camera on the Galaxy S21 FE.

Redmi 12 Smartphone India Launch: Xiaomi Dream Smartphone Ready with the Indian Software

Redmi 12

HIGHLIGHTS

* Xiaomi recently launched Redmi 12 in Thailand.
* The smartphone is an upgraded variant of Redmi 12C.
* A report reveals the Indian launch timeline of the new device.

Xiaomi made its latest move in the budget segment with the release of the Redmi 12 in Thailand.
The brand is yet to bring the phone to one of its major strongholds – India.
The phone is not yet available in the market, but that will change pretty soon as the phone is set to debut in the country.

Xiaomi is working on the upcoming Redmi Note 13 series smartphones, which will debut in December or January 2024. Recently, one of the forthcoming devices was spotted in the IMEI database.

Redmi 12

However, the company has continued launching smartphones as part of the Redmi Note 12 series branding.
The Chinese OEM has unveiled over a dozen smartphones under the Note 12 branding.

After multiple leaks and rumours, Xiaomi recently unveiled the Redmi 12 smartphone in Thailand.

The company is expected to launch the new Redmi smartphone in India next week.
A new report from Xiaomiui has revealed the launch timeline of the upcoming smartphone.
The device would be priced above Redmi 12C and features slight improvements over the existing device.

Redmi 12: Launch Imminent with the Indian Software

Redmi 12

According to experts at Xiaomiui, the phone will land soon in the Indian market. It will come with the market-specific software V14.0.2.0.TMXINXM.

It’s common for Xiaomi to split its releases into three distinct regions: China (CN), Global (G or EU), and India (IN).

As we can see, the V14.0.2.0.TMXINXM has the “IN” for India. Now that the software is finalized, it’s just a matter of time until Redmi India schedules a launch for the local Mi fans.

Redmi 12

The differences between EU, IN, and Global ROMs are mostly in the number of languages available and some market-specific details.
The Chinese version of MIUI is the one that differs more from the other three branches.

Xiaomi is popular in India and the Redmi smartphone series is always among the best-selling devices in the market. So it makes perfect sense for the brand to move to the Indian market.
The device is a nice budget option for consumers that don’t need 5G.

The Redmi 12 packs a 6.79-inch LCD screen with a 90 Hz refresh rate. It has a Full HD+ resolution with 2,460 x 1,080 pixels and a punch-hole for the selfie snapper.

Redmi 12

Under the hood, the phone boasts the aging MediaTek Helio G88 with up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of Internal Storage.
The phone has a triple-camera setup with a 50 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide snapper, and a 2 MP depth sensor.
There is a modest 8 MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

The Redmi 12 draws power from a 5,000 mAh battery with 18W charging.
The phone has micro SD card support, a 3.5 mm audio jack, Bluetooth 5.3, and an IR Blaster.

The phone is available for about €151,99 which comes to about INR 13,660.
The Redmi 12 has an appealing price and offers a decent set of specs for Indian users that don’t need a powerhouse or 5G connectivity.
It’s also a better offering than the Redmi A2 or A2+ smartphones.
Hence, it should find its audience in the market despite the strong competition.

Redmi 12 Launch Timeline and Specifications

Redmi 12

Xiaomiui has spotted the Indian firmware of the upcoming Redmi smartphone in the official MIUI server.
The report reveals that the upcoming device will have the build number V14.0.2.0.TMXINXM.
The “IN” in the firmware denotes that the software is made for the Indian market.
The “IN” would be replaced by “EU” and other codes for smartphones in other markets.

The report adds that Xiaomi might launch the smartphone in the first week of July. We can expect Redmi India to officially announce the smartphone’s launch date in the upcoming days.

Redmi 12

Xiaomi had priced the smartphone at TBH 5,299 (approx. Rs 12,530) for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.

Xiaomi is speculated to price the smartphone at Rs 10,999 for the base variant with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage.

The smartphone offers a better display, processor, camera, and fast charging support than the Redmi 12C smartphone.
Xiaomi has launched the vanilla Redmi 12 smartphone in Midnight Black, Sky Blue, and Polar Silver colour options in Thailand.

Redmi 12 The company equips the smartphone with a 6.79-inch display with a Full HD+ resolution.
Underneath, it is equipped with MediaTek Dimensity Helio G88 SoC which is built on a 12nm process.

The chipset is paired with Mali G52 GPU, up to 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. The smartphone runs on MIUI 14 based on Android 13 out of the box.

Flipkart Launches Exchange Program for Non-Functional Smartphones and Appliances

0

 Highlights

* Customers can now upgrade by exchanging used, non-functional electronic and large appliances purchased from anywhere
* Customers benefit from attractive buyback offers, hand-in-hand exchange of upgraded products, and the convenience of doorstep pick-up of non-working appliances
* Necessary measures will be taken to erase the data residing in mobile phones – smartphones and feature phones, and laptops before being refurbished or disposed responsibly
* Flipkart’s new exchange program covers smartphones, feature phones, laptops, and even home appliances.
* Flipkart will arrange the pickup of defunct products for a hassle-free experience.
* Flipkart has partnered with authorised vendors for the safe handling of e-waste.

Product exchange schemes from online shopping platforms help users get rid of their old devices and save money on new purchases at the same time.

However, these schemes come with a major condition that those old devices should be functioning. Flipkart is changing this with its new exchange program that allows users to exchange their non-functional smartphones and appliances. Here is everything you need to know about the program.

Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, today announced the launch of an Exchange Program for non-functional appliances, smartphones, and feature phones.  This program will allow customers to exchange their defunct large and electronic appliances for upgraded products ranging from appliances like television, refrigerator, and washing machine to laptops, smartphones, and feature phones.

The program is designed to address the concerns of customers who find it challenging to dispose of their non-functional appliances. Flipkart’s exchange program eliminates the cumbersome tasks of identifying a vendor for selling or exchanging defunct appliances and arranging the delivery of large appliances. With this program, customers will not only enjoy a hassle-free process of disposing of their inoperative appliances but also get an exchange value that can be used to purchase an upgraded product.

By converting non-functional products into currency, the program further aims to reduce electronic waste (e-waste) generated by improper disposal. Flipkart has partnered with authorised vendors to ensure responsible disposal of e-waste. Depending on the condition of the defunct product, it will be refurbished, recycled, or disposed of responsibly by authorised vendors.

Commenting on the launch, Ashutosh Singh Chandel, Senior Director & Business Head, Re-Commerce at Flipkart, said, “India is the third largest e-waste generator in the world (with 3.2 million tonnes in 2019); however, only 10 percent of the waste is collected for recycling, as per MEITY policy paper (source) which necessitates the shift to a more circular approach for the sector. With the new exchange program for non-functional appliances, we want to provide our customers with an innovative, sustainable, and convenient solution to discard unused electronic and large appliances and upgrade to a product they aspire to have. Apart from benefitting our valued customers, this program will act as a catalyst to transition to a circular economy and reduce the impact on the environment.“

Flipkart, through its extensive logistics network and efficient tech-driven processes, will enable the exchange in a single visit, ensuring a convenient and hassle-free experience.

Flipkart Exchange Program for Non-functional Smartphones and Appliances

India’s leading eCommerce platform Flipkart has launched a new exchange program that will allow users to exchange non-functional smartphones and appliances. The program covers different product categories including smartphones, feature phones, and laptops. Customers can even exchange defunct home appliances like televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines.

The aim of the program is to not only help customers get rid of their dead devices but also reduce e-waste at the same time. This is the reason Flipkart has teamed up with authorised vendors for the safe handling of e-waste. From the customer’s perspective, they can now give their non-working devices to the company instead of throwing them away along with other garbage or looking for a relevant buyer themselves.

Another good thing is Flipkart is even offering exchange value for defunct devices offered by the user. It is currently unknown what value will be provided and what would be the criteria for finalizing the exchange value. The company will also take care of device pickup which is specifically beneficial in the case of heavy appliances.
Flipkart says defunct devices will get refurbished, recycled, or disposed of based on their condition. The first priority of the team will be to check if it can be refurbished. If not, the device will be checked for recycling process and at last for proper and responsible disposal.
