The article with download links for the Redmi Note 7 Pro and POCO F1 was originally published on October 30, 2019.

MIUI 11 is the newest big release for Xiaomi smartphones, perhaps even bigger than an Android version jump. Features on Xiaomi devices are dictated more by their MIUI versions than the underlying Android version, so an MIUI version upgrade is an exciting event. MIUI 11 was announced in China in September 2019, bringing along new features such as animated AOD and Horizon Light for supported devices, new font, dynamic sound system, Mi Work and Mi Go app suites, and more changes. The first batch of MIUI 11 Betas was available for a bunch of devices, and over the next few weeks, devices like the Redmi K20 have begun receiving their stable MIUI 11 updates. Now, Xiaomi has officially confirmed that stable MIUI 11 update is rolling out to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro, Redmi 7, Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Poco F1.

Mi fans, we are rolling out #MIUI11 for #RedmiNote7Pro in batches. We are trying super hard to ensure that all devices get the update as soon as possible.

Are you excited about all that #MIUI11 has to offer? pic.twitter.com/rJZRAQI6xo

— MIUI India for #MiFans (@MIUI_India) October 30, 2019

The update for the Redmi Note 7 and Poco F1 is rolling out to all devices in a staged manner, while Xiaomi should be making the announcement soon for the Redmi Y3, Redmi 7 and Redmi Note 5 Pro. You can wait for the update to land on the device. Or as an alternative, you can also sideload the update onto your phone using the download links provided below. Even though these are official update files, it is always a good idea to back up the important data on your phone.

You should be able to install the updates on your device by yourself using the local update method. Download the Recovery ROM for your region, place it in your root directory. Then navigate to Settings > About Phone > System Update and then tap on the MIUI icon 7 times. This should reveal the “Choose update package” option in the three-dot menu. Select the option, and then select the file you download and hit “OK”.

Here are some screenshots of the update from my Redmi Note 7 Pro:

Xiaomi’s MIUI 11 rollout has been difficult to track so far, mainly because of the confusing update naming convention and the different updates across multiple regions. Adding to this complexity is the fact there appears to be a very thin demarcation between builds that are only intended for the Mi Pilot beta testing program, meaning that builds assigned for this group will not install on devices with Mi Accounts that do not have the requisite permission. The same builds then get opened up as stable release, creating a lot of confusion — for instance, the same build linked above first failed to install on my Redmi Note 7 Pro, but then appeared through the OTA with the MIUI 11 Beta icon. If you get the error message that the update is for closed beta testers only, you can sideload the update through TWRP.

[Update: Launched in India] LG’s take on foldables is the G8X with its dual screen attachment

Update 2 (12/20/19 @ 7:20 AM ET): The LG8X ThinQ has been launched in India for a price of ₹49,999 (~$702).

Update 1 (10/22/19 @ 4:30 PM ET): The LG G8X is launching in the US on November 1st. It will cost $699 (Dual Display included). The original article as published on September 6, 2019, is preserved as below.

There was some debate on whether LG’s next device would be the LG G8X or the LG V50S and today the company put that to rest. Announced at IFA 2019, the LG G8X ThinQ is the company’s second device to feature the Dual Screen accessory. This time, however, it’s not reserved for Korea only and they’ve made some key improvements.

Specifications	LG G8X ThinQ
Size	159.3 x 75.8 x 8.4mm, 192g
Display	6.4-inch 19.5:9 FHD + OLED FullVision (2,340 x 1,080 / 403ppi)
Chipset	Qualcomm Snapdragon 855
Memory	6GB RAM
Storage	128GB (microSD)
Rear Cameras	12MP Standard (F1.8 / 1.4μm / 78˚) 13MP Super Wide (F2.4 / 1.0μm / 136˚)
Front Cameras	32MP Standard (F1.9 / 0.8μm / 79˚)
Battery	4,000mAh ( Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0)
OS	Android 9 Pie
Connectivity	Wi-Fi 802.11 a, b, g, n, ac / Bluetooth 5 / NFC / USB Type-C (USB 3.1 Compatible)
Biometrics	In-Display Fingerprint Sensor
Audio	Stereo speaker, 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC, DTS:X 3D Surround Sound, 3.5mm headphone jack
Colors	Aurora Black

 

First, let’s talk about the phone itself, which is the least exciting part of the announcement. There aren’t a huge number of differences between the LG G8 ThinQ and LG G8X. The G8X is slightly larger with a 6.4-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution and a small waterdrop notch. Interestingly, the resolution is lower than the LG G8 (3120 x 1440).

The LG G8X also has dual cameras on the back. The main sensor is 12MP with f/1.8 aperture and the secondary camera is 13MP at f/2.4 with 136-degree wide-angle field-of-view. LG is shipping some new camera software, including “AI Action Shot,” which can automatically increase shutter speed when detecting fast-moving subjects. The front camera is 32MP.

In terms of performance, we’re looking at basically the same as the G8. The LG G8X has the Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage (expandable), and a slightly larger 4,000mAh battery. Again, it features Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 and wireless charging.

We also can’t talk about an LG phone without mentioning audio. The LG G8X features a stereo speaker, 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC, and DTS:X 3D Surround Sound. Oh, and they are still sticking with the 3.5mm headphone jack. LG also says the microphone is automatically turned up when capturing video for ASMR recording. Yes, they really said that.

Dual Screen

Now, on to the Dual Screen accessory. LG has made several key improvements over the Dual Screen we saw with the LG V50. It now connects to the phone via USB Type-C rather than pogo pins. The display on the Dual Screen is the exact same as the LG G8X for symmetry. LG even included a fake waterdrop notch on the Dual Screen just to make sure they look the same.

The hinge has been improved and it can rotate a full 360-degrees now. A lot of people thought the original Dual Screen should have some sort of display when closed, a la the Galaxy Fold, and now there is one. It’s a small 2.1-inch display that can show the time, date, battery, notifications, etc. LG also claims the Dual Screen uses less power now.

The problems with the Dual Screen are still present, though. You still have to deal with a rather larger gap between the two displays. App support is not great if you want to stretch one app across both screens. The Dual Screen also adds a good amount of thickness to the LG G8X.

Availability

The LG G8X and Dual Screen will be available in “key markets” later this year. LG did not share pricing information. It will be available in one color: Aurora Black.

Update: Launching in USA on November 1

LG G8X ThinQ, LG Dual Screen Available In U.S. Beginning Nov. 1

LG has finally announced the pricing and release date for the LG G8X. It will be launching in the US on November 1st for $699. That’s a pretty decent price when you consider LG is bundling the Dual Display accessory with it. So you’re getting two displays in one device. It will be available from Amazon, AT&T, and Sprint.

Galaxy S10 Lite leaked specifications reveal Snapdragon 855, 48MP main camera with tOIS, and more

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S11 series early next year but along with the new flagships, the company has some other interesting devices currently in the works. Rumors about the upcoming Galaxy S10 Lite popped up earlier this year in October, along with a Galaxy Note 10 Lite. The Galaxy S10 Lite was later confirmed in an FCC listing and now we have more concrete details about the upcoming smartphone.

According to a recent report from WinFuture, the Galaxy S10 Lite will feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display and it will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC coupled with 8 gigabytes of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. These details were revealed in a data sheet procured by the publication which highlights the specifications of a Samsung device with the model number SM-G770F. Interestingly, the Galaxy S10 Lite doesn’t have an Exynos variant which is quite unlike the other Galaxy S10 variants sold outside of the US.

Along with the aforementioned details, the spec sheet also reveals that the Galaxy S10 Lite will feature a 48MP f/2.0 primary camera with tilt-OIS for stabilization. The main camera will be accompanied by a 12MP f/2.2 ultra wide-angle camera and a 5MP f/2.4 macro camera. For selfies, the device will feature a single 32MP f/2.2 shooter housed within a punch-hole at the top of the display. Powering the device is an impressive 4,500 mAh battery with 45-watt fast charging support. Additionally, the spec sheet also reveals that the device will measure in at just 8.1mm thick.

Seems like #GalaxyA91 nd #GalaxyS10Lite are in fact two different devices. Actually S10 Lite is very likely the yet unreleased SM-A905 I told you bout back in June nd which comes with 6.7″ FHD+ sAMOLED flat display, centered punch-hole, SD855, 48MP TiltOIS + 12MP Ultra Wide + 5MP pic.twitter.com/lCwSGSfJsr

The report also reveals that the Galaxy S10 Lite will be available in three color variants — black, white, and blue — and it will run Samsung’s One UI 2.0 based on Android 10 out of the box. As far as the pricing is concerned, Samsung is expected to release the device for €679.99 (~$755.98) in Europe, but the pricing may differ around the continent based on the taxes and duties. It’s also worth noting that famed leakster OnLeaks has now confirmed that the Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy A91 are two separate devices, which doesn’t fall in line with what we learned from previous leaks.
