Microsoft Launcher

Did you repaint your smartphone? So there is no better option than changing the launcher. To coincide with this, Microsoft released this week the preview version of version 6.0 of its popular launcher.

Important areas of the Android launcher have been completely revised. These include the dark mode or memory management. Previous users may lose their view because Microsoft lists the beta version as a separate entry in the Google Play Store.

Mobile Carbonalyser

How much fuel does a YouTube video actually consume? Mobile Carbonalyser estimates the energy consumption of different activities with your smartphone. Based on the amount of data transferred when using applications, it determines power consumption.

The tool converts this to the number of cell phones loaded or the equivalent of the kilometers traveled in a car. In times when the ecological footprint will soon become part of the tax return, such data may become interesting.
