According to a recent Tweet by known leakster Ice Universe, the Chinese tech giant and the known chipmaker have partnered up to develop Game Turbo. It is a new unique feature that is said to arrive in the Mi 10 Pro+ and was co-developed by Xiaomi and Qualcomm’s GPU teams. This new software will help mobile gamers enhance their gaming experience by giving them a degree of control that is generally found in PC gaming.

In other words, apart from just boosting your smartphone’s performance, users can also tweak various graphical settings like Anti-Aliasing, Anisotropic Filtering, and even Texture Filtering. Looking at the images shared in the tweet, Game Turbo also offers free control over the GPU’s parameters, letting users adjust the GPU frequency. So, one can tweak not only the device but the game they are playing, which is something no OEM has offered before.

Furthermore, the images also reveal different GPU performance profiles, which are saved under default, save power, balanced, high quality, and a custom profile as well. These are quite similar to PC gaming’s NVIDIA control panel, which also offers the ability to customize multiple in game settings. The controls also seem streamlined and clutter free, so it should be easy to navigate for even a beginner.

It has been a long while since Xiaomi launched its last Mi-branded smartphone in China. The latest one is Mi 10 Youth Edition, which debuted in April alongside MIUI 12. Between these three months, we only witnessed  Redmi launches in the company’s home country. The next Mi series phone is expected to be the long-rumoured Mi 10 Pro Plus, which even Lei Jun, the CEO has begun to tease. Now, according to the latest leak, this handset could be the overall fastest charging smartphone of 2020.

Almost all information regarding this so-called Mi 10 Pro Plus has been coming from Digital Chat Station, a renowned Chinese tipster on Weibo. Unsurprisingly, that’s the case with the latest tip.

According to him, this upcoming Xiaomi Mi series premium smartphone will be the overall fastest charging phone of this year. That means it will support the fastest wired, wireless, and reverse wireless charging standard than any commercially available smartphones in 2020.

According to a teaser post by Lei Jun, this mysterious Mi smartphone may come with dual stereo speakers, x-axis linear motor, high rarest rate display, 3.5mm headphone jack, NFC, IR sensor, 30x or above zoom, front and rear optical sensors, 4,5000mAh or above battery, wireless charging, and VC heat sink.

As per an earlier tip, this handset should launch in August. But the same leak suggested the debut of Redmi K30 Ultra (Dimensity 1000+) in July but that did not happen until now. Maybe, the launch of this phone will be delayed as well.

Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi had recently teased the arrival of a new flagship smartphone — Mi 10 Pro Plus. As the name itself indicates, the phone is an upgraded variant of the existing flagship — Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro.

Today, he has shared a new post on Weibo related to the launch of Mi 10 Pro Plus. From the post, it seems that the company is planning to host an in-person launch event in China. Further, it appears that Lei Jun himself will host the launch event.

This is an exciting development given that the in-person launch events have not been taking place for more than four months now due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But as most countries are opening up, there’s a possibility of physical launch events.

However, do note that this is not yet confirmed and it’s speculation at this point in time, based on the post by the company’s CEO on Weibo. We expect more information regarding this in the coming days.

As for the smartphone, Lei Jun has hinted about several features that could be a part of the upcoming Mi 10 Pro Plus smartphone. The features include Dual Speakers, high refresh rate display, 3.5mm headphone jack, NFC, Infrared sensor, 30x and more zoom support, Front and rear optical sensors, VC heat sink, 4500mAh battery, and wireless charging.

It’s likely that the Mi 10 Pro Plus will come with a 120Hz AMOLED display and pack Snapdragon 865 chipset or the newly announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus SoC. It will have a quad-camera setup on the back with 100 MP primary sensor, optimized for better zoom capabilities.

It will be running the Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box with MIUI 12 on top. The phone, powered by a 4,500mAh or bigger battery, will likely have support for 120W Mi Turbo fast charging technology.

We expect Xiaomi to share more details about this smartphone as well as shed some more light on the phone’s launch event. To know more, we will have to wait for a few more days.

Yesterday, Digital Chat Station revealed that Redmi’s first Dimensity 1000+ smartphone could launch in about two months. But today, he says it will launch next month (July), followed by Mi 10 Pro Plus in August, and Mi Mix 4 in Q4 2020.

June is about to end but neither Xiaomi nor Redmi has launched any new smartphone in their home market. Though the Redmi 9 is launching this week in China, it is not a new handset as it has been already unveiled in other markets.

But next month, we might see a new device from the house of Redmi if Digital Chat Station’s tip is true. According to him, this phone will be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ (Plus) and could have features like 144Hz high refresh LCD panel, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and 33W fast charging as per a 3C listing with model number M2006J10C.

The second new smartphone will come from Xiaomi in August. The leakster calls the device ‘Super Large Cup’, which means ultra flagship like the Huawei P40 Pro Plus and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. So this handset could be the rumored Mi 10 Pro Plus.

The leakster also does not mention the name of the last device releasing in Q4 2020 with a hint ‘you know that’. This phone could be nothing but the long due Mi Mix 4.

Having said that, Digital Chat Station also clarifies that this is merely a tentative schedule and thus, the actual launch may vary. But he did confirm to update his followers if he comes to know about any change in Xiaomi’s plans.
