It’s been a while since Google’s Wear OS platform picked up some new brands, but it seems Xiaomi is getting ready to throw its hat in the ring. Now, a new teaser for Xiaomi’s upcoming smartwatch reveals two key details about the product.
During the Xaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G and Mi Mix Alpha keynote, the Chinese firm also detailed it’s upcoming Android update — MIUI 11. Now thanks to the Head of Pocophone Global, Alvin Tse, we have confirmation that the MIUI 11 update will roll out to the Pocophone F1.
While the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G might have been slightly overshadowed by the Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha concept phone, it still looks like one heck of smartphone package.
Yes, you’re reading that right. The recently announced Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha has a frankly ludicrous wrap-around display that results in a mammoth 180.6% screen-to-body ratio — so much for folding displays.
According to the Wear OS companion app for Android, Xiaomi might be working on a smartwatch powered by Google’s wearable platform. Wear OS 2.28 today features a string that references a “Mi Wear” companion app.
Xiaomi has been using Android TV in India for quite a while, but the company’s offerings have lacked popular services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. This week, the company confirmed five different models which will get both services before the year ends.
Android 10 just dropped today for Google Pixel devices, but it’ll probably be a while before most devices get the update. Breaking that tradition, though, is the Essential Phone, as usual, and Xiaomi’s Redmi K20 Pro with day one Android 10 updates.
Apple dominated the news cycle today with even more Google Pixel 4 leaks sneaking in too, but in some other stories we’ve got high refresh rate games for Android, teasers for new TVs, and more.
A new report from tech research firm Counterpoint Research has shown that Nokia is at the top of the global rankings when it comes to Android software and security updates.
Android TV’s Pie update has been finally hitting popular hardware such as the Nvidia Shield recently, and it seems another update is incoming. Xiaomi’s Mi TV 4 series is reportedly going to get an Android Pie update in September.
Xiaomi launched its latest Android One smartphone about a month ago in Spain. Now, the company has confirmed that India will get the Xiaomi Mi A3 on August 21st.
In May, Samsung announced their line of massive 64-megapixel ISOCELL camera sensors for smartphones. Now, only three months later, Xiaomi has confirmed that an upcoming Redmi phone will feature this 64 MP camera and shared some details.
Gaming phones have become fairly popular over the past couple of years, and they’re typically a showcase for some of the best spec packages that Android has to offer. Today, the Black Shark 2 Pro has gone official with the latest Snapdragon 855 Plus processor.
When I reviewed the Xiaomi Mi Band 3, I was convinced that it was one of the best Google Fit companions. What I didn’t expect was Xiaomi to make what you could consider iterative changes and still make the Mi Band 4 feel like a must-have wearable.
Xiaomi’s Android One devices have proved pretty popular for a few years now, and today, the third generation has been unveiled. The new Xiaomi Mi A3 offers up a new chipset, the same great software, and plenty of hardware goodies, too.
While the budget phone category continues to grow in the United States, the rest of the world already offers a wealth of options for affordable, high-quality hardware. The Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is another such device that is genuinely superb for the money, yet lacks wide North American availability.
While the Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro is a fantastic device that you could consider a spiritual successor to the popular budget beast Pocophone F1, it’s about to get even better thanks to a very special Avengers-themed limited edition.
We often think of beta programs as a way for users to try new features before a full rollout but for OEMs such as Xiaomi, their MIUI beta program acts as a way to get valuable feedback before stable releases too.

Xiaomi has confirmed that it’s Android Q-based MIUI 11 will head to 11 devices by Q1 2020. [Now stands at 13 with the Pocophone F1 expected to get MIUI 11].
We’re slowly and steadily moving into a wireless audio world, and if you don’t jump on board, your pool of smartphone choices over the next few years is bound to slip through no fault of your own. I understand, you may not want to move into the murky waters of Bluetooth audio but I have an affordable $30 entry-level solution — the Xiaomi Redmi AirDots.

Xiaomi has officially unveiled the follow up to the wildly popular and impressive Xiaomi Mi Band 3 in the form of the Xiaomi Mi Band 4. The device improves over the original in a number of ways, yet still manages to remain at an affordable price.
The death of the notch is one thing we can all applaud. Having a cutout on your display is not only distracting, but it has also become a trend many OEMs have simply adopted to ‘fit in’. Now Xiaomi and Oppo have showcased their own takes on the under-display selfie cameras at almost the same time.
OEMs are now racing to outdo each other in the folding stakes. The latest to be showcased is the impressive Xiaomi foldable phone, which utilizes a dual outward fold rather than a single inward or solitary outward fold.
Over the past few years, fast-charging technology has come on leaps and bounds. Xiaomi’s brand new 100W charging tech looks set to leave the rest in the dust if the benchmarks are to be believed.
