Microsoft has announced today a major update to Windows 11 that the company claims will make the everyday routine easier for users. The update includes several new features and improvements that will roll out gradually to Windows 11 devices starting from February 28.

One of the most exciting features is the new AI-powered Bing Chat that will be integrated into the Windows taskbar. Users can simply click on the Search in the taskbar and start chatting with Bing in their preferred language. Bing can help users with various tasks such as searching the web, getting directions, booking flights, generating content and more. Users can also ask Bing questions about Windows 11 or any other topic and get informative and engaging answers. The new Bing chat is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 large language model equipped with advanced natural language processing and machine learning technologies that enable Bing to understand and communicate fluently with Windows users.

Another feature that will surprise many users is the tabs in Notepad? Seriously? Well, Notepad is one of the oldest and most popular apps in Windows, but it lacked some more modern functionalities such as tabs, cleaner organisation and dark mode. With the update, it seems that Notepad will finally get these features and more. Users can now open multiple files in tabs within Notepad, switch between them easily, save their work automatically and choose between light or dark themes.

The Windows 11 update also brings a new screen recording feature to Snipping Tool. Snipping Tool is a handy app that lets users capture screenshots of their screen or a specific area. With the update, users can also record a video of their screen or a specific area with audio and annotations. The feature looks like it can be useful for creating tutorials, presentations or sharing feedback.

Other features that are part of the update include:

• A new power management feature that can help users save energy by adjusting their device’s performance based on their usage patterns.
• New energy recommendations in system settings to make it easier for users to control their environmental impact.
• A new design language for Windows 11 apps that will make them more consistent, modern and beautiful across devices.
• New accessibility features such as Braille display support and enhanced voice access in key apps
• New touchscreen navigation controls for touch devices such as tablets, and 2-in-1s
• Phone Link for iPhones so users can see their iPhone’s notifications on their PC’s Action Center (Windows Insiders only)

The update is expected to be available for all Windows 11 devices starting March 2023. For users who want to try out the new AI-powered Bing, you can sign up for the waitlist to join the new Bing preview here.

If you are already in the Bing preview, then you just need to update your Windows 11 build to the latest build. You can do so by opening Windows Update settings (Settings > Windows Update) and selecting Check for updates.

Android smartphones are touching new horizons every day, and the apps are also evolving at the same pace. The recent addition of the 90-hertz display has paved the way for better gaming on smartphones. Before the launch of OnePlus 7T, the 90Hz display was limited to gaming smartphones. Now, several OEMs have started porting the higher refresh rate displays to new smartphones. Manufacturers have tweaked several features of the smartphone to support an increased refresh rate. Many softwares and native apps are made compatible to work flawlessly with the new screen refresh rate. However, they forget to add support for the 90hz screen recording in its native app.

In our guide today, we will share how you can record the screen of your new smartphone at 90fps and 120fps frame rate. Smartphones such as OnePlus 7T, Pixel 4, and Pixel 4XL are some fresh examples packing a higher refresh rate. Apart from the improved gaming experience, the higher refresh rate also smoothens the UI. Inadvertently, it impacts the battery life of the smartphone and uses more CPU.

Advantages of Higher Refresh Rate

Users hugely facilitate the new higher refresh rates, but it has some pros and cons. We have listed the benefits of having high refresh rate displays.

• Smoother scrolling and animations
• Less eye fatigue
• Better gaming experience
• Clear Image quality
• Finer details with no lag and jittering

Disadvantages of Higher Refresh rate

• Higher Refresh rate poses a significant threat to the smartphone’s battery
• CPU usage increase
• Scarcity of 90Hz content – most of the games are tweaked for 60 frames per second

Various smartphones support 90Hz or more refresh rates. The smartphone includes Asus ROG Phone 2, OnePlus 7T Pro, OnePlus 7T, and OnePlus 7 Pro. Oppo reno Ace, and others.

Screen Recording at 90hz or more 

Apart from the native screen recording app, several third-party apps are available for screen recording. Among them, the app named “Screen Recorder – No Ads” offers screen recording at 90 Hz or 120Hz. Just follow the steps below to record the screen of your smartphone.

1. Download and Install Screen recorder – No Ads application from the Play Store.
2. Open the app and give all the permissions.
3. Now, tap on the Hamburger icon and select Settings from the menu.
4. Head over to the Video Settings > Frame Rate and select the desired framerate. 
   (Note: The 90 or 120Hz screen recording option will only appear if your smartphone supports these frame rates.)
5. After making changes, tap the video icon on the home screen of the app.
6. Happy recording!

Despite the official support from OEMs, the users can now record the screen at 90Hz or 120Hz using the Screen recorder – No Ads application. If you have an any better alternative, then do let us and your fellow readers know about it via comments below.

Back in January, Xiaomi announced screen recording will be available for beta testing on the Xiaomi Mi 3, Mi 4, Mi 5, and Mi Note. They also said that it will be added to the developer ROM by the end of February.

Today, MIUI officially announced that the new feature will be available tomorrow to phones running MIUI developer edition. If you get the update tomorrow, you might still experience stability issues since it is not a final release yet but it should be better than the beta test version.

Accessing the screen recording function is pretty easy. Just open the “System Tools” folder on your homescreen and you should find the app there. You also do not need to root your device before you get the feature.

Nubia Z11 Mini is all set to be announced on April 19. While we don’t know whether the two other rumored devices in the lineup, the Nubia Z11 Max and the Z11 will be showcased at the event, for now, the company seems to be focusing on the small screen flagship.

The company has started teasing the new device, and has already confirmed that it will come in a small form factor. And now, the general manager of Nubia smartphones, Ni Fei has revealed a new interesting feature of the device.

According to the latest post from the GM, Nubia Z11 Mini will most likely come with a Super Screen Video capture mode, which is basically a feature to record your screen. Instead of just taking a picture of the screen, this particular mode will take a video of the screen in action, just like screen capture on your desktop PC or laptop. You can see a live demo of the Super Screen capture mode from the video down below.

This particular feature could be directly embedded into the Nubia UI, and can be a good selling point for the OS. You could easily capture your screen live, while playing games or make tutorial videos without much fuss. Not a unique feature, still it can come in handy in some cases. Ni Fei also revealed that there would be new UI changes and optimizations on the upcoming Nubia version to improve the overall experience using the device. More details will be revealed in the coming days to the launch.

Meanwhile, we can also expect the company to reveal a few of the hardware features of the Nubia Z11 before April 19, when the phone will finally be official.
