However, in recent years, the developers of Chrome have attempted to address the issue by optimizing the amount of CPU and RAM that it consumes. Now, Google has introduced a new energy and memory-saving mode for Chrome on Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, and Linux. This new feature is designed to decrease the amount of power used and lower the demand for system resources. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Google Chrome energy and memory saver" comment="subhead" text="Google Chrome energy and memory saver">Google Chrome energy and memory saver</cmsannotation> The new ‘Performance’ tab on Chrome's settings page contains the Memory Saver feature, which unloads inactive tabs from memory, automatically reloading them when the user returns to the tab. Users can also whitelist certain websites to prevent them from being affected by Memory Saver, a useful feature for websites with real-time updates. Additionally, the ‘Energy Saver’ feature can be found on the same page. When enabled, Chrome limits its background activity, disables certain animations and video frame rates, and turns off the smooth scrolling feature to save battery life. Users can choose to turn on the Energy Saver feature as soon as their computer is unplugged or when the battery drops below 20%. The new feature is available in the latest Chrome version (v110), but Google is still rolling it out to some users, so it may not appear in the Chrome settings for all users immediately. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How to enable Energy Saver mode on Google Chrome" comment="subhead" text="How to enable Energy Saver mode on Google Chrome">How to enable Energy Saver mode on Google Chrome</cmsannotation> In order to turn on Energy Saver mode simply follow the given instructions- <ul><li>Tap on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of Chrome.</li><li>Now tap on settings and open the Preference tab from the left side.</li><li>From there, you can choose to have the feature activated at any time on your computer.</li></ul><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How to use Chrome’s Memory Saver mode" comment="subhead" text="How to use Chrome’s Memory Saver mode">How to use Chrome’s <keyword id="16594767" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="memory-saver-mode" source="Orion">Memory Saver mode</keyword></cmsannotation> To turn on Memory Saver mode follow the given steps- <ul><li>Tap on the three-dot menu which is available in the top right corner.</li><li>Then select Setting and open the Performance tab from the left side.</li><li>Now, you will see the Memory Saver option and you can toggle it to turn it on.</li></ul>Also, you can add specific sites that you want to run on Memory Saver mode, just by clicking on Add tab.

Google Chrome rolls out Memory and Energy Saver modes: Here’s how you can use it

San Francisco, Tech giant Google is reportedly working on a new feature for <keyword id="30001" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="chrome" source="Orion">Chrome</keyword> which will show users how much memory each tab is using. The information was shared by Chrome expert Leopeva64 on Twitter, reports Android Police. The new feature will let users know specific memory usage for every open tab when they place the cursor on it. This feature will be helpful for users when they have opened multiple tabs, as it will help them decide which tabs to close. Last month, the tech giant had rolled out the Memory and Energy Saver modes for Chrome on Mac, Windows, Linux, as well as Chromebooks. Chrome's Memory Saver automatically "frees up memory from inactive tabs" to give other pages and apps on users' computers more resources. And, with Energy Saver, "Chrome conserves battery power by limiting background activity and visual effects". Meanwhile, it was reported that the company was working on a new feature for Chrome which will allow users to erase the last 15 minutes of browsing data, on Android.

This new functionality, the ‘Custom Voice Creator,’ allows users to record various phrases for Bixby to evaluate and create an AI-generated imitation of their speech pattern and voice tone. Regrettably, this feature is exclusively accessible on the Galaxy S23 series and is currently only available in Korean. This announcement has come after the surge in AI-generated content, thanks to the rise of ChatGPT. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Here’s how it works" comment="subhead" text="Here’s how it works">Here’s how it works</cmsannotation> This new feature exactly does not clone your voice. Instead, Bixby Text Call lets you type a text message to answer a phone call when it may not be appropriate to do it verbally. Bixby then converts your typed text to audio for the recipient. This feature enables you to utilize your AI-generated voice to respond to incoming phone calls when you are unavailable. For instance, if you cannot attend to a phone call, you can utilize this new feature to type out a sentence that the caller will hear in your voice. In addition, Samsung has announced that users can now customize Bixby's wake-up phrase to their liking, along with the voice assistant's ability to play music based on the type of exercise on <keyword id="7596409" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="samsung-health" source="Orion">Samsung Health</keyword>. The company claims Bixby can better understand the user's intent and process follow-up requests by identifying context and associated words used in previous interactions. For instance, Bixby users can launch a workout on Samsung Health and then ask the assistant to play music suitable for that exercise by saying, ‘Play music for this workout.’ Also, Samsung has extended Bixby's offline capabilities, allowing users to set a timer, take a screenshot, or turn on the flashlight, among other things.

Rockley Photonics, which listed Apple as its primary customer in regulatory filings, unveiled a digital sensor system in 2021 that could track body temperature, blood pressure, glucose trends, hydration, lactate, alcohol, and other metrics. However, Apple terminated the relationship. The technology needs to be condensed to a wearable size to be practical. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Apple Watch ECG app to detect abnormal heart rhythms" comment="subhead" text="Apple Watch ECG app to detect abnormal heart rhythms"><keyword id="6875860" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="apple-watch-ecg" source="Orion">Apple Watch ECG</keyword> app to detect abnormal heart rhythms</cmsannotation> Researchers at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, including Associate Professor Rachel Conyers and Dr. Claudia Toro, are studying the toxicities of children’s cancer treatments and their effects on heart rhythm. They aim to identify novel interventions to mitigate these effects. To this end, Dr. Conyers and her team will be testing the sensitivity of the Apple Watch ECG app in 40 children and adolescents over the coming months. The researchers plan to enable patients to take ECGs anytime and anywhere using the app and other tools. By gathering these data, they hope to gain insights into cardiac toxicity and identify opportunities for intervention. The study can potentially improve the care of young cancer patients by helping clinicians monitor their heart health more closely and intervene early if necessary. The study aims to monitor a range of health factors, including heart rate, rhythm, and sleep, blood oxygen levels and other metrics.

As per Google representative <keyword id="16603215" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="paul-pennington" source="Orion">Paul Pennington</keyword>, the feature will be accessible on YouTube Music from anywhere, regardless of whether you're a free user or a paying subscriber. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Customize your radio station with up to 30 artist" comment="subhead" text="Customize your radio station with up to 30 artist">Customize your radio station with up to 30 artist</cmsannotation> While creating your personalized station, you have the option to pick up to 30 artists and indicate whether you only want to listen to their music or include tracks from comparable musicians. Additionally, you can instruct the system to play songs that you're already acquainted with, unfamiliar songs, or a combination of the two, and incorporate filters to fine-tune the blend. For instance, you could generate a station that plays lively new releases from Eden, Khalid, and more, or one that offers your preferred serene deep-cuts from Boygenius and the solo collections of its members. To utilize this feature, you must visit the YouTube Music homepage and scroll down until you find the ‘Your music tuner’ section. The updated feature is being launched on iOS and Android in all countries where YouTube Music is accessible for both free and paid users. While popular music streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music provide radio features that enable users to create playlists based on a particular song or artist, they don't offer much customization beyond that. In comparison, YouTube Music's updated radio feature provides users with considerably more flexibility than its rivals.

Besides, the jewellery industry, LGD are used in computer chips, satellites and 5G networks as they can be used in extreme environments due to their potential to operate at higher speeds while using less power than silicon-based chips. The LGD has vast application in the field of defence, optics, jewellery, thermal and medical industry. As the government figures, exports of cut and polished (worked) LGD from India has been growing at fast clip. During FY21 the exports were $637.97 million and shot up to $1,348.24 million in FY22. This fiscal -- FY23 -- the exports of LGD between April-December stood at $1,387.33 million. Presenting the Budget 2023-24 in the Parliament recently, Indian Finance Minister <keyword id="129243" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="nirmala-sitharaman" source="Orion">Nirmala Sitharaman</keyword>, said: "The LGD is a technology and innovation-driven emerging sector with high employment potential." "These environment-friendly diamonds have optically and chemically the same properties as natural diamonds. To encourage indigenous production of LGD seeds and machines and to reduce import dependency, a research and development grant will be provided to one of the IITs for five years," she added. As per a recommendation made by the <keyword id="113018" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="department-of-commerce" source="Orion">Department of Commerce</keyword>, the research grant of Rs 242 crore over a period of five years to <keyword id="55119" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="indian-institute-of-technology" source="Orion">Indian Institute of Technology</keyword>, Madras (IIT-M) has been approved. It is proposed to establish an India Centre for lab grown diamond (InCent-LGD) at IIT-M with the estimated cost of Rs 242.96 crore over five years. The aim of this project is to provide, in mission mode, technical assistance to the industries, and entrepreneurs in the country, in promoting indigenous manufacturing of both chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) systems along with the recipes for expanding the LGD business at the upstream end. Research efforts would make the technology available for start-ups at affordable cost, increase employment opportunities, increase exports of LGD, thus play a significant role in fuelling India's economic growth. According to the Indian government, the gems and jewellery sector plays a significant role in the Indian economy, contributing around nine per cent to India's total merchandise export. Over the past decade, there has been several positive developments in the gem and jewellery sector globally. One of the major technological developments in this sector has been the LGD. Though, India is one of the leading producers of LGD using CVD technology it has to depend on other countries for the supply of critical machinery components and 'seeds' -- which are the raw material for producing synthetic diamonds. It is, therefore, imperative that India develops its own, indigenous technology for producing the critical machinery component seeds to remove the import dependence that we have in the case of natural diamonds, the government said. Good quality LGD with qualified certification, produced from the developed equipment and process parameters will attract many foreign customers increasing the export volume of LGD and scalability of production. The documented process parameters and the developed recipe will encourage new entrepreneurs to enter the LGD business making it easier and cost-effective to set up the facility, start the business and generate employment. "This is indeed the right time to set up a diamond factory in India, given that diamonds have thermal and electrical properties making them superior to contemporary technologies like silicon, <keyword id="1437475" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="silicon-carbide" source="Orion">silicon carbide</keyword> and gallium nitride. IIT-Madras will work towards producing diamond wafers suitable for electronic applications," V. Kamakoti, Director of IIT-M, had said.

The 46mm variant is priced at ₹ 19,990. It comes in three colours – black, rose gold and silver. It is available for purchase on <a href="https://www.amazon.in/OPPO-Smart-Watch-46MM-Black/dp/B08DVF8W3B">Amazon</a> and <a href="https://www.flipkart.com/oppo-watch-41-mm-wifi-smartwatch/p/itm10a8887d7a03b">Flipkart</a>. Oppo Watch quick review The Oppo Watch might not sport a completely original design, but that doesn’t take away anything from the fact that it is an attractive smartwatch that performs well on most fronts. It’s got a stunning display with the perfect curves, brightness, and resolution. Oppo has been generous with the memory and storage, so using it is a breeze despite Wear OS’ drawbacks. Coupled with a deeply customized system, it offers a fluid experience, which is a rare achievement for any Wear OS smartwatch to date. The watch comes packed with fitness features that allow you to track different activities. <div type="image" title="Oppo Watch" msid="78031284" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The applications on the Oppo Watch&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The powerful hardware and features can take a toll on the battery life, though. To overcome this, Oppo has added a secondary chipset with the sole purpose of maximizing battery life. It kicks in when the power saver mode is enabled, and kills smartwatch functions and serves as a digital watch. Overall, the Oppo Watch is the perfect showcase of what’s possible when a company truly understands the needs of its customers. It’s the best combination of a simple yet functional design, powerful hardware, and abundant fitness features. Oppo Watch design and display – inspired, but elegant <div type="image" title="Oppo Watch" msid="78031266" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Oppo Watch&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> One of the criticisms of the Oppo Watch has been its design. Oppo has drawn a lot of inspiration from the Apple Watch, and while this is usually frowned upon, the end result is you have a rather elegant looking Wear OS smartwatch. The Oppo Watch keeps things simple. It has a curved display thanks to the flexible OLED technology used by the company. This makes it a delight to navigate around the user interface. It has two buttons on the right, and one of them can be customized to trigger any activity or launch an app. There’s a heart rate sensor under the watch. In our usage, we found the display to be bright and responsive. It is readable under direct sunlight as well. Oppo Watch performance – feature-packed and smooth As we’ve mentioned before, the Oppo Watch is one of the fastest and smoothest Wear OS smartwatches to date. Oppo has done a great job optimising the Watch despite the shortcomings of the Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset and Wear OS, which are the two most crucial aspects of the smartwatch. In our testing, the Oppo Watch was a treat to use, be it the fitness features, using third-party apps, or simply navigating around the interface. <div type="image" title="Oppo Watch" msid="78031271" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Heart rate monitor, activity monitor, sleep tracker and other services offered on the Oppo Watch.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> As far as fitness features are concerned, the Oppo Watch comes with Google Fit integration. This lets you track your steps, workouts, calories burned, and activity sessions. Apart from this, Oppo has also added several useful features like 5-minute workouts, breathing exercises, and five other workout regimes. You can also monitor your heart rate and sleep using the smartwatch. It offers 5ATM water resistance, so you can track your swimming sessions as well. The Oppo Watch promises 36 hours of usage in smart mode. In our experience, it lasted an entire day filled with various activities, requiring us to put it for charging towards the end. While this is a decent performance, it could have been better. Oppo has tried to overcome this to an extent with its VOOC flash charge technology. This allows the Watch to charge from 0-46% in 15 minutes. A full charge takes around 40-45 minutes. Should you buy the Oppo Watch? The Oppo Watch is easily the best Wear OS smartwatch you can buy right now. It offers a smooth and fluid experience. It comes loaded with features and offers a great balance between performance and price. There’s hardly a misstep here. The only mild criticism could be the design, but this is subjective. In the end, it looks elegant, and if that’s what matters to you, then this is the smartwatch for you.

But, we're all keen to see the ultrawide camera from Google, which is known to make the best smartphone cameras. </li></ul>Newly announced phones, same old question — should you upgrade? Here, we're talking about <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-pixel-5-pixel-4a-5g-price-release-date-preorder-specs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Google's Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G</a> phones. I have my own thresholds as to when I finally decide to upgrade, and your criteria are probably different to mine. That's to say, only you can really decide when it's time to upgrade to a new phone. Still, some things to consider: The age of your current phone doesn't really matter. What really matters is whether it runs well enough to do what you want, and whether it has the features you want. If your phone does neither, then you have a solid case to upgrade.If your old phone has had its day, here are the main things to consider whether you should upgrade to the <keyword id="576817" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="PIXEL">Pixel</keyword> 5 or Pixel 4a 5G:<h2>With Pixel phones in particular, some things are constant</h2>For one, you get Android updates as soon as they're released, unlike the majority of other Android phones out there that get updates weeks or months later. Another great thing with Pixel phones is that Google trickles down many new features announced with new models to older Pixel devices, which actually gives you several reason not to upgrade if you have an older Pixel device.Some new features include Google's new Exreme Battery Saver mode that will supposedly keep your phone usable while giving it 48 hours of battery life. There's also a new Google Assistant "Hold for me" feature where Google Assistant will take your place when you're placed on hold on a call. <h2>At long last, Pixel phones have an ultrawide camera</h2>If you've been waiting for a Pixel phone to get an ultrawide camera, your time has come. Brand-new to Google's Pixel phones is an ultrawide camera lens. It's a big deal because Google infamously snubbed ultrawide with the Pixel 4 in 2019 and doubled-down on a zoomed lens instead, which was an odd, misguided move for 2019 flagship phones. We have yet to test the camera, but we're confident that the standard 12-megapixel sensor will be excellent, and we're very keen to see what ultrawide photos look like with Google's incredible camera chops.<div type="image" title="pixel 5 hero" height="900" width="1200" msid="78452160" hostid="261"></div><h2>The prices look good, but Samsung is spoiling Google's party</h2>At $700 for the Pixel 5 and $500 for the Pixel 4a 5G, Google's latest phones make the prospect of upgrading less daunting.With that said, there are some concerns about the Pixel 5's specs and set of features relative to its price tag, especially when compared to Samsung's $700 Galaxy S20 FE. The S20 FE, for example, also starts at only $700 and runs on the super-powerful Snapdragon 865 chip — the same that spins the wheels in the ultra premium Galaxy S20 line. The Galaxy S20 FE also has a bigger screen with a faster refresh rate.<h2>It might not be much of a performance upgrade for some</h2>The Pixel 4a 5G and even the flagship Pixel 5 run on the fast-but-mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor. It's a good chip, and it helped Google keep the price down for the latest Pixel phones, but it may not offer much of a performance upgrade if your phone is only two years old (2018) and runs on the Snapdragon 845. Basically, the latest Pixel phones will run just fine and they'll be plenty fast, but Pixel 3 and Galaxy S9 owners should beware that the Pixel 5 or Pixel 4a 5G may not be much faster if they're after better performance. If you're looking for a real performance upgrade at this price point, you'll likely be better off with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-galaxy-s20-fe-price-release-date" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Samsung's recent Galaxy S20 FE</a>.Despite all this, if you have your heart set on the latest Pixels but you're concerned about performance, I wouldn't worry about it too much, and I'd wait for the <keyword id="52147" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="reviews">reviews</keyword> to confirm that they run just fine. <div type="image" title="pixel 4a 5g" height="900" width="1200" msid="78452162" hostid="261"></div><h2>5G isn't a good reason on its own to upgrade to either phone</h2>Carriers and phone makers boast about 5G, but it's not a good reason to upgrade on its own in 2020. 5G is the latest standard in mobile wireless networks, and carriers have promised significantly higher speeds and overall performance (especially with latency) than the 4G LTE networks we've been using for the last decade. 5G is said to make an easy meal out of anything that requires an internet connection, especially heavy uses like high resolution video streaming and video calling, and cloud gaming on services like Google Stadia.But — and there's a big but — <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/2020-smartphones-not-worth-it-5g" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">5G isn't a good reason to buy</a> Google's latest <keyword id="6354775" type="TECHNOLOGY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Smartphones">smartphones</keyword>. 5G isn't exactly "everywhere" at the moment, and it's unlikely to be the primary network that any 5G phone will connect to at the time of writing. I've tested all the 5G phones released in the US this year, mostly on T-Mobile's 5G network, and I've never had a better experience than 4G LTE. I could have tried the supposedly faster 5G networks on Verizon's or AT&amp;T's, but their 5G networks are nowhere near where I live or visit on a regular basis.5G is a frankly awful and confusing mess, and it has no tangible benefit at the moment. It might be better in the future, but we have no idea when that might be. So, buying a 5G phone today for the promise of something better later shouldn't be an active reason to buy a new Pixel.Here are the hardware specifications, or specs, for both phones:<h2>Google Pixel 5 specs</h2><ul><li>Display: 6-inch 1080p OLED with 90Hz refresh rate</li><li>Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G</li><li>Memory and storage: 8GB RAM &amp; 128GB storage</li><li>Rear camera: 12-megapixel standard wide, 16-megapixel ultra-wide</li><li>Selfie camera: 8-megapixel</li><li>Battery: 4,080Ah with wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. </li><li>Water resistance: IP68</li><li>5G: Yes</li></ul><h2>Google Pixel 4a 5G specs</h2><ul><li>Display: 6.2-inch 1080p OLED </li><li>Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G</li><li>Memory and storage: 6GB RAM &amp; 128GB storage</li><li>Rear camera: 12-megapixel standard wide, 16-megapixel ultra-wide</li><li>Selfie camera: 8-megapixel</li><li>Battery: 3,885mAh</li><li>Water resistance: None</li><li>5G: Yes</li></ul>

Google is partnering with several institutions to train over 2 million <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Android+developers">Android developers</a> in the next 3 years. IF you’ve got an interesting idea, but can build an app, this must be good news! 
 
Google Translate: 
<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Google">Google</a>’s Translation engine currently handles over 1 million words per second. While Android is currently available in over 50 languages currently, there are a few interesting features coming up soon. 
 
Tap to Translate allows you to translate English to Hindi and vice-versa in real time. It appears as a widget, so no need to log out of your <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=WhatsApp">WhatsApp</a> conversation while you translate. It also recognizes Hindi in English letters. The product is slated for an early Q1 2016 launch. 
 
Google also unveiled a Beta feature where you can point your cell-phone camera at Hindi text, and it’ll translate it to English in real time. The company is looking to extend these services to offer other languages soon. 
 
Looks like App, but isn’t: 
Looks like the eternal ‘App or Not to App’ debate is over. Cut to Progressive Web Apps. These mobile browser experiences would look and feel as native as apps without the hassle to install bulky apps from Play Store. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Flipkart+Lite">Flipkart Lite</a> is an example. The company mentioned that it’s working with other players, and is ‘looking forward to working with android developers across India’. What does it mean to you? You get a lot of free memory on your phone!
