Redmi 8 and 8A Kernel source code released by Xiaomi

Xiaomi’s big battery budget devices for 2019, namely the Redmi 8 and Redmi 8A has officially received the green signal from Xiaomi for third-party development. The company has just released the kernel source code for both the devices, allowing developers to tinker with its code and develop custom ROMs for the device.

Redmi 8 unboxing featured

Xiaomi’s smartphones are popular for their extensive custom ROM development. Even the MediaTek powered Redmi Note 8 Pro kernel source code was released back in September. So, we can expect to see some new custom ROMs for the Redmi 8 and 8A in the coming months.

Both devices have a large 5000mAh battery that easily offers two-day battery life. They share the same octa-core Snapdragon 439 processor inside with the Redmi 8 getting a 4GB RAM version while the 8A maxing out at 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Another major difference is in its camera setup as the higher-end Redmi 8 gets a dual 12MP + 2MP shooter at the back while the 8A has to settle for a single 12MP sensor. Note that the cheaper 8A doesn’t have a fingerprint sensor.

Xiaomi recently revealed that the Redmi 8 and 8A have a special sonic dust removal feature built-in. It’s essentially just a way to clear out the dust and gunk that tends to gather up in smartphone speakers, which is a fairly common problem.

According to Xiaomi, the Redmi devices achieve this by playing a custom sound designed to achieve the maximum amplitude of the speaker for 30 seconds. This allegedly gets all the dust out by pure force, without damaging the speaker we’d hope. It’s an interesting solution to a common problem.

MIUI 11 update now rolling out for the Redmi 4

I use a Redmi Note 6 Pro and still check daily if Xiaomi has pushed the new MIUI 11 update to the model. Surprisingly, users of the Redmi 4 in India have reportedly started receiving MIUI 11 update and have even shared evidence online. Apart from the fact that it is MIUI 11, there is nothing spectacular to cheer about this update.

The screenshot shared by a Redmi 4 user shows that the new update comes with the version number MIUI 11.0.2.0.NAMMIXM. It also shows the update file is 483MB large. Interestingly, this new update doesn’t bring a change in the Android version as the Redmi 4 still runs the outdated Android 7.1.2 (Nougat). It also brings along the October 2018 Android security patch that Google released more than a year ago.

The changelog shared by some users on the MIUI forum shows the MIUI 11 brings improved touch controls and refined colour usage to deliver a fresh experience. The update also carries sound effects influenced by nature. The update is also expected to enhance the user experience by offering a minimalistic design. Other features include an always-on lock screen and Dynamic Video Wallpapers.

Xiaomi’s new 55 °C Warm up Cup is also a 10W wireless charger

Some may see Xiaomi as a company that copies product designs and create them at affordable pricing. Truth is, you can’t take away the fact that the company has some innovative products geared towards making life easy. The brand has now launched a warm cup equipped with wireless charging. The warm cup comes with a decent price tag of 189 yuan (around $26).Xiaomi warm cup

The Warm cup can maintain a constant temperature of 55°C and this is delivered through wireless charging. All you have to do is to place the cup on the charging pad. This method is said to be different from the traditional resistance wire heating method. Wireless heating is safer and more stable as it can maintain the temperature of the cup at 55 °C.

The Warm cup is no different from the traditional mug made of pure ceramic. It is safe and durable. The whole cup is waterproof and the user can clean it at will during use. The heating feature is designed in a way to ensure the safety of the users from burn. The cup also automatically enters sleep mode and stops heating after 4 hours of inactivity.

Apart from that, the wireless charging pad can also be used to charge smartphones that support wireless charging. It is compatible with Xiaomi, Huawei, Apple and Samsung phones. The charger has a power rating of 10W which should deliver wireless fast charging.

 

Huawei will likely get another 6-month extension from the U.S.: Report

It’s been six months since Huawei was banned by the U.S. government from buying or selling components and services from U.S. companies. However, until now, the full force of the ban has not come into effect, all thanks to the delay of the ban’s enforcement. The second temporary extension, enforced in August, will end on Tuesday, November 19. Now, a report from Politico states that the U.S commerce department is expected to grant another 6-month extension to Huawei.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro featured 02

The extension should allow Huawei to continue to support its existing set of smartphones and devices that use U.S. components. So, existing Huawei devices could be safe for another six months, if this extension is permitted. However, the U.S. government is yet to officially announce anything in this regard and is likely to do it just before the current extension ends.

Even if Huawei gets a reprieve for another 6-months, that still doesn’t change the fact that none of its new devices can use Google Play services. The Mate 30 series will continue to struggle internationally without GAPPs support and we aren’t seeing any solution in this regard.

Despite US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross stating that the U.S. government will start granting licenses to U.S companies to trade with Huawei a few weeks back, we are yet to hear about it. With the U.S. – China trade war still going on strong, it remains to be seen if Huawei will get any real reprieve anytime soon.
