Xiaomi is slated to release a mid-year update for its Chinese devices currently running on MIUI 13 in the second half of 2022. Dubbed the H2 2022 MIUI 13 Mid-Year update, the update is expected to bring many software features we’ve seen from recent Xiaomi releases like the Xiaomi 12 lineup, and the Redmi K50 series, as well as stability improvements. 

However, Xiaomi recently published on its MIUI Forum in China that it will be dropping many devices from its MIUI 13 (China Version) Open Beta programme from July 18th, 2022 onwards, and several of these devices include Xiaomi flagships equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset. 

The devices dropped from the aforementioned list are the:

• Xiaomi CC9 Pro
• Xiaomi Mi 10
• Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro
• Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition
• Redmi K30
• Redmi K30 5G
• Redmi K30i 5G
• Redmi K30 Pro 5G

Normally devices dropped from the MIUI Beta Programme will not be receiving any more Android OS upgrades(MIUI 14 based on Android 13). However, the devices will still be eligible for another MIUI upgrade(i.e. MIUI 14 based on Android 12) and another year of security updates from Xiaomi.

The devices listed above were initially launched with MIUI 11 based on Android 10 out of the box in early 2020, and all of them have recently been updated to MIUI 13 based on Android 12. 

According to Xiaomi‘s track record, providing 2 years of Android OS upgrades and 3 years of security updates to its flagships is quite common. However, ever since the launch of the Xiaomi 11T series, the brand has promised to provide 3 years of Android OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates to its flagships launched after the Xiaomi 11T series which include the Xiaomi 12 series and Redmi K50 series as well.

A couple of weeks back, Xiaomi revealed that the Redmi Note series will start receiving the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update in October. The company has now begun to roll out this update ahead of schedule. The first devices in the lineup to get access to the latest version of MIUI are Redmi Note 9 5G and Redmi Note 10 5G. At the same time, the update is also available for Mi 10 Youth Edition.

Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition at the Xiaomi MIX 4 launch event. The new version of MIUI brings improvements for devices running MIUI 12.5.

The fresh version of MIUI is live for the following smartphones in China with these build numbers.

• Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition – V12.5.4.0.RJVCNXM
• Redmi Note 10 5G – V12.5.1.0.RKSCNXM
• Redmi Note 9 5G – V12.5.7.0.RJECNXM

The above-listed software builds are currently labeled as ‘Stable Beta’. In other words, they are only available for a select few users as they are being rolled out in batches.

Having said that, these Redmi Note models are also sold in international markets as Redmi Note 9T 5G and Redmi Note 10 5G / Redmi Note 10T 5G. We expect them to receive the new update in the coming days.

Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition at the Xiaomi MIX 4 launch event. Within one and a half months, the company has finished the rollout of this software to the first batch of eligible devices in China. Hence, it has now announced its plans for the second batch.

According to the official announcement post on Xiaomi Community China, a total of 7 smartphones are part of the second batch to receive the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update. Almost all of these handsets are Redmi Note models, except for one.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition Second Batch Devices

• Redmi Note 8
• Redmi Note 9 4G
• Redmi Note 9 5G
• Redmi Note 10 5G
• Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition
• Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G
• Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G

The above-listed phones are scheduled to start receiving ‘Stable Beta’ builds from October 8. If it all goes well, the rollout for all users could happen by the end of next month itself.

Having said that, the firm does say that the update rollout plan may change due to various factors. But at the end of the day, the handsets mentioned above should get the latest version of MIUI sooner or later.

On the other hand, all other smartphone brands are set to release a new version of their mobile software based on Android 12. However, Xiaomi is yet to announce anything regarding it.

The post Redmi Note series to get MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update in October appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 Youth Edition in late April. The company even unveiled MIUI 12 at the same event. However, the smartphone debuted with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. It was updated to MIUI 12 a couple of months later and also received the Android 11 update by the end of 2020. Now, over a year after its release, the handset has started receiving the MIUI 12.5 update.

MIUI 12.5 is the latest version of Xiaomi’s mobile operating system. The new version brings improvements to devices running MIUI 12. 

The company has been rolling out MIUI 12.5 stable update to eligible devices in China for the past few days. The latest phone to get it is Mi 10 Youth Edition, which is also known as Mi 10 Lite Zoom.

The MIUI 12.5 update for the Mi 10 Youth Edition arrives with build number V12.5.2.0.RJVCNXM. This software build is in the ‘Stable Beta’ as of now. This means it is being seeded out in batches for a select few users.

Anyway, the update should be available for all users in the coming days. Lastly, since the Mi 10 Youth Edition (aka Mi 10 Lite Zoom) is a China-exclusive smartphone, there’s no other regional MIUI build for this headset.

Although Xiaomi announced the Mi 10 Youth Edition at the MIUI 12 event, the company shipped it with older MIUI 11 based on Android 10 out of the box. After many rounds of beta updates, today, according to a Telegram Channel, it is getting the Android 11 update in China.

Only recently, Xiaomi updated the stable MIUI 12 based on Android 11 for flagships like Mi 10, Redmi K30 Pro Zoom in China. The company, despite delays, is updating the devices with the latest Android as promised. Hence, the update for Mi 10 Youth Edition is a no-brainer.

Having said that, the update with the firmware V12.1.3.0.RJVCNXM is rolling out to the users in China. Weighing 3.6GB the update brings stable MIUI 12 based on Android 11 to the device. Previously, Xiaomi announced the latest MIUI 12 beta build soon after Google’s official Android 11 announcement.

Initially, Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, Redmi’s K30 Pro were the lucky ones to taste the new features of Android 11. Later, Xiaomi started bundling the beta update for Mi 10 Youth Edition making it one of the early ones to get it.

That said, with the new stable update, users can enjoy Android 11 features like revamped notifications, chat bubbles(conversations), and more. That said, the device already got the latest MIUI 12 features with the MIUI 12 update back in June.

And considering this new update is rolling as an OTA update, it could take a few days before reaching everyone. The Mi 10 Youth Edition, which features a 6.57-inch Pentile AMOLED display, Snapdragon 765G SoC, a quad-camera system with a 50x Periscope Telephoto lens, recently got price cuts for 8/128GB and 8/256GB variants in China.

Yesterday, Google officially launched Android 11 and it even rolled out the update to all the eligible Pixel smartphones. Following that, partner OEMs also opened beta registrations for their devices. Some of them even released the update to recruited users. On top of this, four of Xiaomi’s handsets have already been receiving weekly MIUI updates based on Android 11 for a while now. Today, two more devices join this list – Redmi K30 5G and Mi 10 Youth Edition.

Though the Redmi K30 5G and Mi 10 Youth Edition launched six months apart from each other, they are shipped with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. Both these smartphones are limited to China and they have even received MIUI 12 stable update.

Since they are part of MIUI weekly builds program, these two devices have been receiving MIUI 12 Beta builds since the day of the announcement. Now, starting today’s build (20.9.9), the update for these handsets will be based on Android 11, according to a Telegram channel called @xiaomiui (via PiunikaWeb).

This makes them the fifth and sixth smartphone respectively to receive MIUI weekly builds based on Android 11 after Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, Redmi K30 Pro, and Mi CC9 Pro.

Anyway, it is worth noting that the stable rollout for these newly added mid-range devices may take time. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 2020 flagship phones (initial three handsets in the list)  should be getting the stable update first in the coming days.

Xiaomi officially launches Mi 10 Youth Doraemon Limited Edition commemorating the 50th anniversary of the franchise. This variant of the handset comes in a single 8GB + 256GB storage configuration priced at 2,799 yuan ($407). It is currently up for pre-order and will be available for purchase starting September 1 in China.

The new Mi 10 Youth Doraemon Limited Edition features a blue-colored body similar to the regular “Blueberry Minit” color variant. But additionally, it also sports a giant Doraemon face at the bottom of the rear glass panel.

The phone is shipped in the same color box as the device with an identical giant Doraemon face printed on it. Buyers also get a Doraemon-themed case as well as a figurine (action figure) of the character.

Talking about the handset, it does not differ from the regular variant in terms of specifications. The only dissimilarity is its paint job and it comes with a Doraemon theme out of the box. But anyway, any user can apply that theme on phones running MIUI if Xiaomi makes it available in the MIUI Themes app.

That means we are looking at a mid-range 5G smartphone powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G with OIS-equipped 5x optical zoom lens and Doraemon vibes bringing back childhood memories for some.

Xiaomi is targeting this device for the fans of the franchise and students getting ready for their new school year this September. There’s no official word on international availability and it makes sense as the Mi 10 Youth is still limited to China even after four months from its launch.

A few months ago, Xiaomi had launched the Mi 10 Youth Edition smartphone as a watered-down variant of the Mi 10 flagship smartphone in the Chinese market. Now, as a part of the special offer, the company is offering a 300 yuan (~$42) discount on the purchase of Mi 10 Youth Edition.

The discount is applicable to the 6GB RAM + 128GB internal storage model. With this offer, the phone is now available for purchase at 1,999 yuan (~$283) instead of the original price of 2,299 yuan (~$325).

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition comes with a 6.57-inch Pentile AMOLED display – same as the international Mi 10 Lite 5G edition. It supports HDR10+, 180Hz touch sampling rate, and 800 nits of peak brightness.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor and comes with liquid cooling support, along with 6/8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage, depending on the variant.

On the front side, the device comes with a 16MP snapper for taking selfies and video calling. The smartphone comes with support for dual-mode SA/NSA 5G connectivity, making it an affordable 5G device in China.

The Mi 10 Youth Edition features NFC, 3.5mm headphone jack, infrared, dual-frequency GPS, Hi-Res Audio, and 0.91cc speakers. It comes powered by a 4,160mAh battery along with support for 22.5W fast charging technology.

Xiaomi officially announced MIUI 12 in late April and even started seeding out beta updates from the day of the conference itself. After almost two months, the company has now begun to roll out stable builds to eligible devices in its home country. Last week, it was made available for Mi 10/Mi 10 Pro. Now, this week, the availability of MIUI 12 China Stable update has been extended for handsets like Mi 9, Mi 9 Pro 5G, Mi 10 Youth, Redmi K30 5G, and Redmi K30 Pro Zoom.

MIUI 12 brings a lot of changes to Xiaomi’s Android skin as a whole. Some of the notable additions include Super Wallpapers, Privacy protection, Animated AOD+, Control Center, Dark Mode 2.0, new MIUI Camera app, and others.

It is worth noting that not all the features are available for eligible devices. For instance, phones with LCD panels don’t get the new Always-on Display option. Further, the build version also varies by handsets.

Having said that, here’s the complete list of Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones that have received MIUI 12 China Stable update so far.

Globally, MIUI 12 is currently available as Stable Beta update for Mi 9, Redmi K20/Mi 9T, and Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro.

Late last month, Xiaomi launched Mi 10 Youth Edition in China. This smartphone, albeit being a mid-ranger features 5x periscope camera with support for up to 50x digital zoom. Recently, Lei Jun, the co-founder and CEO of Xiaomi shared a video showcasing the zooming capability of this handset.

In the video, a Mi 10 Youth Edition mounted on a tripod zooms in 50x times digitally to click a picture of Ping’an International Financial Center building. According to the caption of the Weibo post, the picture was captured from Shenzhen Bay Park, which is 10 kilometres away from the building.

One might say, that’s an impressive feat but actually, it is not. We can clearly see a ton of noise in the viewfinder. Also, the video does not show us the final output as it will definitely have noises even after post-processing.

Anyway, this is the case with all the smartphones with a periscope camera when they are zoomed at their maximum level. However, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition beats other phones with a similar camera with its price. Retailing at 2099 Yuan ($296), it is the cheapest phone in the world with a periscope camera.

The 5G-ready mid-range smartphone powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G sports a quad-camera camera setup.

• 48MP primary camera
• 8MP 120° ultra-wide-angle camera
• 8MP 5x optical periscope camera, 10x hybrid zoom, 50x digital zoom
• 2MP macro camera

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition is definitely a value for money smartphone for its asking price. Sadly, the international price does not reflect the same magic.

Ahead of the first sale, Xiaomi has created a virtual unboxing experience that lets you check out the phone.

The virtual unboxing also allows you to view the components that make up the phone such as the battery, the cameras, the cooling pipe, and the processor.

Another thing you get to experience or rather try out is the phone’s 50x zoom feature.

The Mi 10 Youth Edition has a 6.57-inch AMOLED display with a waterdrop notch. It is powered by a Snapdragon 765G processor with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It also has quad rear cameras that include a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. There is also a 16MP selfie camera.

Now, thanks to Ishan Agarwal, a reliable Indian tipster, the price of the handset is also out, in addition to the company’s plan of introducing new Mi Bluetooth Headset Youth Edition and RedmiBook 13 Ryzen Edition models at the same event.

The upcoming Mi 10 Youth Edition is a rebranded Mi 10 Lite 5G announced last month in Europe with a minor change. The Chinese version of the handset will feature a periscope camera with up to 50x digital zoom replacing the 2MP depth sensor present on the international version.

The device will be available in four colors namely Pink Peach, Orange Storm, Green Tea and Blue Berry, which we previously referred to as white gradient, peach, turquoise, and blue.

Anyway, here’s the alleged price of Mi 10 Youth Edition in China for all the storage configurations.

As mentioned in the beginning, Xiaomi will also announce two new products at the same launch event. One of which will be a new Mi Bluetooth Headset Youth Edition that could replace the older neckband model from 2018 with the same name.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition will be unveiled this coming Monday (April 27) alongside much-anticipated MIUI 12. The company has been teasing the features of these products since it announced the launch date earlier this week. As for today, the brand has revealed the display specs of the handset on its official Weibo account.

According to the teasers, the upcoming Mi 10 Youth Edition will come equipped with Samsung’s diamond pixel PenTile AMOLED panel. Xiaomi claims the display will offer crisp picture quality with accurate colors and smooth transitions while zooming in.

Further, detailing the display specs, the company says the panel will have a ΔE value of 1.1, whereas JNCD value will be 0.7. Along with 4,300,000: 1 ultra-high contrast ratio, the panel will also support hardware-level DC dimming.

Apart from the above-mentioned parameters, the display on Mi 10 Youth Edition will have a 180Hz touch sampling rate as well as support for HDR10+ content. Last but not least, it is also said to feature one of the smallest dew-drop notches on any smartphone.

As for other specifications, the handset will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 with support for dual-mode 5G connectivity (SA/NSA). It will sport a quad-camera setup including a periscope module with up to 50x digital zoom and OIS, a 48MP primary wide camera, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 5MP macro shooter. On the front, it is expected to come with a 16MP selfie camera. These cameras will be backed by new multiplicity and burst modes.

Other features of the device include LPDDR4X RAM, UFS 2.1 storage, 4,160 mAh battery, 22.5W fast charging, 7.98mm in thickness, 192 grams weight, and four colors – white gradient, peach, turquoise, and blue.

Xiaomi’s upcoming smartphone Mi 10 Youth Edition is completely different in both design and specs compared to the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro though it comes under the same series. The phone has been scheduled to launch alongside MIUI 12 on April 27. As usual, the company has been teasing its features for a few days now. The latest teaser posted today reveals the handset to come with ‘Multiplicity Photography’ and ‘Burst Video’ options, the first on a Xiaomi device.

Mi 10 Youth Edition Multiplicity Photography

1 of 4

For the unware, multiplicity photography refers to a technique which enables the subject of the picture (person or pet) to occur multiple times in different positions. Usually, one has to capture multiple images and then edit them to achieve the final result. But with the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition, users can click multiplicity pictures within the camera app itself. 

The burst video mode, on the other hand, will let users shoot videos with anime effects. This feature sounds similar to the one found on the recently launched Nubia Play 5G. The phone will also feature a video mode to achieve effects like in the movie ‘Doctor Strange’. The Chinese tech company claims that it has developed these camera features at its own Xiaomi AI Lab by incorporating AI and AR together.

As for the camera hardware, the handset will feature a quad-camera setup placed on a rectangular module at the top left corner of its back. The setup will include a new periscope camera with up to 50x digital zoom, which is not found on the international Mi 10 Lite. Other three sensors are expected to be the same from its global counterpart. That means it will feature a 48MP primary shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide snapper, and a 5MP macro unit.

Further, the Mi 10 Youth Edition will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 with support for dual-mode 5G (SA / NSA). The device will sport an AMOLED panel at the front with an in-display fingerprint sensor and a dew-drop notch accommodating a 16MP selfie camera. The phone will be available in four color options – white gradient, peach, turquoise, and blue.

Now, days ahead of the official launch, the company teased the camera module as well as the features of the upcoming Mi 10 Youth Edition smartphone through a promotional poster and a mini promo video.

The phone will feature a quad-camera setup where the sensors will be placed on a rectangular module which will be in the top-left corner. The company has revealed that the setup consists of a high-definition primary camera, a wide-angle lens, a macro lens, and a 50x super zoom periscope sensor.

The highlight of the camera setup is the usage of pro-level 50x periscope zoom camera which offers 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom, and up to 50x ultra-far zoom. The company is focusing on the camera department for the Mi 10 Youth Edition as Xiaomi believes that mobile phone camera has become a social tool for the younger people to take photos or record videos, create vlogs, and more.

So far, the company has confirmed that the smartphone will have a thickness of 8mm and will weigh about 200 grams. Xiaomi has also confirmed that the 5G smartphone will come in at least four color options — Pink Peach, Orange Storm, Green Tea and Blue Berry.

This is also reflected by the smartphone’s name itself, named Youth Edition, and targets the new generation demographic. Some of the aforementioned gadgets include a camera, a candy, a door, and even a magnifying glass. These all tie in with the animated cartoon’s in-universe story and add to the nostalgia for many.

Yesterday, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition discussion thread was unearthed on Mi Community China. Now, earlier today, the company officially announced its launch to take place on April 27 alongside MIUI 12. Followed by that, the brand has now shared a new teaser render of the handset on Weibo.

The upcoming Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition will be different than the global Mi 10 Lite 5G. As per the new detailed render posted by Xiaomi on Weibo, the new handset will feature a periscope camera with up to 50x zoom capability, which is not present on the original lite device launched in Europe last month.

The details of the other sensors of the phone’s quad-camera setup are scarce at the moment. Probably, it will come equipped with the same 48MP primary sensor and a similar 8MP ultra-wide unit. Unfortunately, we are not sure whether the 5MP macro camera or the 2MP depth sensor will return from the global Mi 10 Lite 5G.

Apart from the new camera configuration, we expect the Mi 10 Youth Edition to feature similar specs as its global counterpart. That means it will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 paired with up to 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB UFS 2.1 storage. It will have support for 5G connectivity on both SA (standalone) and NSA (non-standalone) 5G networks in the country.

Further, the phone will come fitted with a 6.57-inches AMOLED display with an in-screen fingerprint reader and a dew-drop notch housing a 16MP selfie camera if the company does not swap it with a different sensor. The handset will get its juice from a 4,160 mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging according to a recent leak. The device will measure 7.98mm in thickness and will weigh 192 grams.

Going by the official render, the Mi 10 Youth Editon will be available in four colours in China. The first one will be a fusion of white and purple gradient, the second, third, and fourth versions will be emerald, peach, and blue respectively.

Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 series of flagship smartphones consisting of Mi 10 5G and Mi 10 Pro 5G in mid-February in China. The handsets then made their way to the European market in late March with a new member called Mi 10 Lite 5G. Now, it seems this device will also launch in the company’s home country as the Mi 10 Youth Edition.

According to IT Home, the Mi Community in China has opened a new discussion thread for ‘Mi 10 Youth Edition’. This clearly indicates the newest version of Mi 10 to soon debut in China. When it does, it will be the second Snapdragon 765-powered smartphone from the house of Xiaomi, the first one being Redmi K30 5G, which just recently received a price cut.

The Mi 10 Lite or Youth Edition (China) comes equipped with a 6.57-inches FHD+ AMOLED panel with an in-display fingerprint sensor. On the back, the phone features a quad-camera setup in a matrix array at the top left corner. The setup includes a 48MP primary sensor paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 5MP macro unit, and a 2MP depth sensor. Whereas, the front camera is of 16 megapixels which sit comfortably in the dew-drop notch at the top center of the display.

The new Xiaomi device weighs 192 grams and measures 7.98mm in thickness with a 4,160 mAh battery powering it. The phone runs MIUI 11 based on Android 10 and is available in three colour options namely Blue, Black, and White respectively. The handset comes in two storage configurations – 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB and starts at €349. 

Anyway, the Mi 10 Youth Edition may cost lesser in China and may even have a different storage configuration to further lower the price just like what OnePlus did with the OnePlus 8 series price in India.
