In the first cycle, nothing led to the opening of Facebook, Starbucks and MS Word, having subsequently lost some of their advantages in using the camera.
However, he regained his advantage with Snapseed as it excelled at uploading and processing a high-resolution image.
At the end of the first cycle, with all apps open, nothing totaled 2 minutes 01 seconds, versus 2 minutes 05 seconds for the iPhone 14 Plus.
