Xiaomi shows off Mi Watch UI and Mi CC9 Pro’s 50x zoom capability

-

Xiaomi is in full teaser mode for the launch of its upcoming smartphone, smartwatch and smart TV, as the company continues to drip-feed information about the products before the official unveiling. Taking to its official Weibo channels, Xiaomi has revealed more information on the products, as well as shown some of their highlight features.

Xiaomi Mi Watch

Starting off on the new information since the last post, Xiaomi has confirmed that the Mi Watch will come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 Platform.

Thanks to the eSIM capabilities of the watch as well as the presence of a speaker, we guessed that users will be able to place calls from the smartwatch. Xiaomi confirmed the same as well. The company also released more official product renders, giving us a good look at the watch from several angles.

The Mi Watch looks like an Apple Watch, but has some more sharpness in its design, trading away the pleasant curves. I would personally have preferred a bevel or a chamfer on the lower edges, which would have made the watch more comfortable to wear.

Xiaomi also showed off a few screen previews of the OS on the watch.

With the Mi Watch, Xiaomi envisages a smartwatch that is basically a miniaturized smartphone, with the ability to install apps, control your smart home and more. Xiaomi is calling the UX as MIUI for Watch.

In the video above, we can see the UX on the Mi Watch. The user is utilizing the crown button to scroll through a list of installed apps, opens a video player, and plays a video on the smartwatch. Why would one want to watch a video on such a small display, that is a question that we are unable to answer. You can, in case you want to.

Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro / Mi Note 10

Xiaomi has also shown off the white color variant of the upcoming Mi CC9 Pro.

Additionally, the company also confirmed the curved edges of the display on the smartphone, as well as the flat bottom, and what appears to be the 3.5mm headphone jack.

The company also showed off the 50x zoom capabilities of the Mi CC9 Pro in a separate video.

We have already seen various different smartphones implement optical zoom solutions, so that alone isn’t as unique. What is unique is the fact that the optical zoom implementation exists alongside other camera technologies, increasing the versatility of the smartphone.

The Mi CC9 Pro is also coming to Europe as the Mi Note 10 on November 10, 2019.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
