Dec 29, 2021

Samsung on Wednesday released One UI 4 based on Android 12 for the Galaxy S10 series, making it yet another flagship lineup from the company to get the update after the S21 and S20 series.

The rollout has hit the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and the Galaxy S10+ and is currently limited to some regions, with Germany being one of the very first. The new updated firmware version is G97xFXXUEGULB and includes the December security patch that fixes a few privacy and security vulnerabilities.

No ETA has been given out for when the update will be released in other regions but we imagine it to be quite soon, that is, if everything goes well and no bugs are reported during the initial rollout.

Also, now that the Galaxy S10 series has been treated to One UI 4, it is safe to assume that the Galaxy Note 10 series will be the next in line.

To check if you have received the update on your Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, or Galaxy S10+, simply head over to Settings > Software update. If available, then just tap on Download and install.

One UI 4 is based on Android 12 and brings along a number of changes including dynamic wallpaper-based theming, re-designed widgets, new animations, tweaked quick settings panel, and some new features.

Dec 29, 2021

Xiaomi has launched multiple MIJIA LCD Blackboards in the past. But those merely differ in terms of size. Today, the company has started crowdfunding a new model with internal storage and Bluetooth connectivity. Let’s take a look at what the new variant is all about.

The new LCD blackboard from Xiaomi is called MIJIA LCD Blackboard Storage Edition. As the name suggests, it features 121MB of internal storage. On top of that, it also supports synchronization with smartphones and tablets via Bluetooth 5.0.

Both these features are not found in the previous MIJIA LCD Blackboards. Hence, it is costlier than the older models.

The Xiaomi MIJIA LCD Blackboard Storage Edition comes in a single 13.5-inch size and it is priced at ¥349 ($55) in China. However, its crowdfunding price is only ¥299 ($47). For comparison, the regular 13.5-inch model of the product retails at ¥89 ($14).

Thanks to Bluetooth and storage space, users can connect this blackboard to their smartphone or tablet using the MIJIA app and Mi Cloud. By doing so, users can share content vice versa.

As for other features are concerned, the screen offers 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, the device is backed by a 1,000mAh battery with a rated endurance of a week on a full charge, and the 0.7m nib of the stylus is made of ‘super-steel polymer.’

Samsung has lifted the curtains on this year’s C-Lab incubator projects with the aim of gauging the marketability and customer response to help cherry-pick the projects worth advancing.

The initiatives are all a product of Samsung employees themselves who are afforded the ability to create pet projects. While products and ideas showcased as their part aren’t always exactly practical, they can be quite interesting.

The star of the show is easily ZamStar. This one allows a user to sync up your music with other musicians around the world to almost create an online band of sorts. The feature is assisted by lights on the fretboard that sync with a given song and guide you on where to put your fingers.

Another interesting project but arguably more important in today’s age is Piloto – an AI solution that aims to help kids develop proper smartphone usage habits by teaching them “self-regulation skills.”

Innovision, meanwhile, is “a daily life eye-care system with a nursery mobile to catch suspicious symptoms of the strabismus and monitor visual ability development status for babies.” And finally, there is PROBA, an AI-based online exam service for administrators, test-takers, and supervisors.

Along with the aforementioned inside incubators, there is also a C-Lab Outside comprised of nine startups that are ready for the global market, one of which is Petnow — an AI-based biometric recognition solution for pets

Dec 29, 2021

Xiaomi 11i Series is set to launch in India soon. Now, a company official has revealed that the upcoming lineup will be among the first smartphones in India to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset.

While we already know that the Chinese tech giant is gearing up to launch the 11i series of 5G smartphones in India in a few days, finer details regarding these devices were still at large. But now, a MySmartPrice report has revealed some interesting information about the upcoming handsets, which include the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge and a base 11i model as well. Raghu Reddy, Chief Business Officer of the company’s India unit told MySmartPrice that “The Xiaomi 11i is going to be the first, or among one of the first to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 920 SoC.”

For those unaware, the Dimensity 920 SoC was announced back in August and has already been powering smartphones in China, although, this chip has yet to make its way to India. In other words, the 11i lineup will be among the first to bring the 5G MediaTek chipset to India. Unfortunately, the senior executive refrained from revealing any finer details regarding the new devices.

Talking about the upcoming smartphones, the Xiaomi 11i and 11i HyperCharge will be based on the Redmi Note 11 series in China. The Note 11 Pro will be the base 11i while the Pro+ variant will be the HyperCharge version. Most specifications are expected to be the same if not identical, but we will have to wait for an official announcement to know for sure.

Earlier today (29th December 2021), Lenovo shared a new teaser for an upcoming gaming laptop. The new gaming notebook will be a part of the company’s Legion branding, with the new teaser officially revealing the design of the Legion Y7000P.

The new teaser was shared on the company’s official Weibo account (a Chinese microblogging website) and showcases the design of the Legion Y7000P prior to its official launch. Looking at this image poster, we can tell that the laptop’s hinge can support up to 180 degree movements. In other words, the display can be bent backward till it is completely flat. Although, the highlight of the design wasn’t its hinge, rather, its thinness.

The Chinese brand has managed to make the latest Legion laptop even thinner than its previous iteration, with an emphasis on making it thin and light. As per official notes, the 2022 Legion Y7000P adopts a new design that makes it appear more squarish, with a unique “industrial aesthetic.” Furthermore, it appears that the new gaming laptop will also feature more metallic material for its build.

Lenovo further added that the 2022 Legion Y7000P is about 11.6 percent thinner than the previous generation is and also lighter than its predecessors. As per previously released official teasers, the Legion Y7000P gaming laptop is set to feature a 2K display with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 165Hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, other finer details are still unknown at the moment, but the company is expected to launch a number of new laptops from its Legion lineup soon. So stay tuned for more updates.

Dec 29, 2021

The Xiaomi 12 series comprised of the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi 12X was launched in China yesterday with some really impressive sets of specifications. Highlights include the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor on the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro, with the latter even coming with triple 50MP shooters at the rear.

While incentives to install custom ROMs and root Androids continue to dwindle, especially since multiple OEMs including Xiaomi have begun to offer 3 or more years of Android updates, a dedicated community for the same continues to exist. This community would be pleased to know that the Android 12 kernel sources for the entirety of Xiaomi’s 2022 flagship series have gone live, that too on the same day as launch.

For those unaware, every Android smartphone manufacturer is obliged to release kernel sources for every device under GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2). Xiaomi used to be rather slothful in this regard but has been making improvements lately, and the case of the Xiaomi 12 is a good example of that.

Nevertheless, if interested, you can download the Android 12 kernel source code with its full commit history at Xiaomi’s official GitHub page under the “zeus-s-oss” and “psyche-r-oss” repositories for the Xiaomi 12/12 Pro and Xiaomi 12X, respectively (via XDA Developers).

The Xiaomi 12 series boots into Android 12-based MIUI 13 out of the box. While not a major update by any means, you do get a couple of new features including reworked widgets, paired with improvements to performance and fluidity. You can read all out the latest version of Xiaomi’s Android skin from here.

A new report has just revealed interesting information about the 5G Android smartphone market. The segment has seen great growth in recent times, with Realme taking the crown for being fastest growing brand in the market.

According to a Counterpoint Research report, the Chinese smartphone brand saw a massive 831 percent growth in the third quarter of this year. The sizeable jump was thanks to its great performance in regions like India, China, and Europe. Counterpoint added that the brand even managed to out pace the market with its 5G smartphones sales growing 831 percent year on year, which is a lot higher than the global rate of 121 percent.

Varun Mishra, Senior Director at Counterpoint noted that “realme with its strong multi channel strategy and a wide 5G portfolio across price-bands helped it grow the fastest.” Similarly, the smartphone maker’s CEO and Founder Sky Li said that “Our goal is to help at least 100 million young people worldwide to enjoy the benefits brought by 5G technology with 5G powered smartphones at the core.”

As of right now, the company is also the world’s fifth largest Android smartphone maker. In other words, its overall growth can also be attributed to its strong focus on 5G technology. Realme has invested heavily in 5G smartphones’ research and development while also seeking to diversify its product line as well. So despite being a “young” company compared to some of its rival tech giants, it has still managed to acquire an overall 5G phone market share of 15.5 percent in Q2 2021.

Xiaomi to inject over $15 billion into R&D over the next 5 years

By

Dec 29, 2021

Outside of China, Xiaomi still has the impression of being a budget-friendly brand that exists for the sole purpose of offering more for less. While the strategy has served the company quite well since its advent, Xiaomi knows that in order to keep up growth, it has to rise above the competition. And what better way to do so than improving research?

With that likely in mind, Xiaomi chairman and founder Lei Jun yesterday announced that the company’s goals for investment into R&D in the next 5 years have been increased to 100 billion Yuan or around $15 billion. The company’s previous announcement from a couple of years back had set the amount at 50 billion Yuan, so the upgraded plans impart a perfect two-fold increase.

The CEO further revealed under the same post that 22 billion Yuan had already been invested over the past two years and that Xiaomi now has 16,000 engineers, meaning things have been going smoothly and in accordance with plans. He says that all of it is being done to “live up to the expectations of Mi Fans.”

And it’s not like all the money flowing into R&D has been fruitless as results have indeed been reflecting on its latest products — a good example being the Xiaomi 12‘s self-developed CyberFocus and Image Brain tech on its cameras that promises strides in object tracking and image processing speeds. The investment also very likely has a major role to play in getting the company to diverge into other businesses including smart home products and even EVs.

The poster reveals that the iQOO 9 series has a 4,700mAh battery. Reports have claimed that the iQOO 9 Pro will house a 4,700mAh battery, while the vanilla model may get a smaller battery.

The image further mentions that the iQOO 9 series supports 120W rapid charging and 50W wireless charging. The image confirms that the wireless charging capabilities will be available only on the Pro model.

Reports have claimed that the iQOO 9 Pro will be equipped with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with curved edges. It may offer Quad HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra could come with 1TB internal storage

Dec 29, 2021

Samsung is gearing up to launch its next-generation Galaxy S-series flagship lineup which is expected to include the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra. Ahead of the launch, many details about the phones have surfaced online.

According to the latest report, it is being reported that the top-end model in the lineup, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, could come with a 1TB internal storage variant.

Earlier, the reports indicated that the Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone would max out at 512GB of internal storage but now it is being said that there will be a 1TB storage version for the top-of-the-line offering.

This makes sense given that the S22 Ultra is like a spiritual successor to the Galaxy Note series phones which seems to have been discontinued by the South Korean giant.

However, this won’t be the first time Samsung offers a 1TB storage version for its smartphone. A couple of years back, in 2019, the company had launched the Galaxy S10 Plus with 1TB of internal storage as well as a microSD card slot.

If this turns out to be true, then Samsung will be up against Apple’s latest iPhone models which also offer up to 1TB of storage. Further, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is expected to come with a dedicated slot for storing the S-Pen stylus.

Based on the leaks, it’s likely that the 1TB internal storage model will come packed with 16GB of RAM. There will also be a 12GB RAM model and three other internal storage options — 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.

All the models in the Galaxy S22 series will come powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset or the unannounced Samsung Exynos 2200 SoC, depending on the region. As for the availability, the devices are expected to go on pre-sale from 8th February in South Korea but the official launch may get delayed to the end of February or early March.
