Spotify rolls out real-time lyrics in 26 markets, including India

Spotify is easily among the most popular music streaming services in the world. Its apps for different platforms are continuously updated with new features. Back in March, the Spotify app for Android received a new homescreen UI along with a universal Shuffle button and a rejigged Action row. In the following month, Spotify started receiving the Follow Feed whereas a social listing feature was added in May. Now, Spotify is adding real-time lyrics that will be available in 26 markets across the globe.

Real-time lyrics on Spotify are powered by Musixmatch, a music player that automatically downloads lyrics for offline store music and displays them in real-time in the player UI as well as the lockscreen. Last year, the Swedish music streamer started testing the live lyrics feature in Canada, Indonesia, and Mexico.

Unlike Musixmatch, the real-time lyrics on Spotify can be spotted by scrolling down on the player UI – i.e. the same place where you usually find Behind the Lyrics or Storyline snippets which are powered by Genius. The feature also supports multiple languages and will display lyrics in the same language as the song.

Spotify has confirmed to TechCrunch that the feature goes live for the 26 markets starting 10 AM EST on June 30th. The list of markets where real-time lyrics will be available on Spotify includes Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Uruguay, and Vietnam. Interestingly, Canada has been left out from the release despite it being part of the beta testing group. Meanwhile, Spotify relies on another service provider to already offer lyrics in Japan.

Although competitor streaming service Apple Music got real-time lyrics last year with iOS 13, TechCrunch notes Spotify due to legal complexities related to the redistribution of lyrics. Lyrics are usually either sourced directly from the artist or transcribed by fans but the license to redistribute them is provided by the music label.

Spotify notes its global partnership with Musixmatch will offer the world’s largest repository of lyrics and translations to its users.

Download: MIUI 12 stable update rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices

MIUI 12 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 a MIUI version upgrade is an exciting event. The first batch of devices to receive the MIUI 12 stable update included the Xiaomi Mi 9, Redmi K20/Mi 9T, and Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro. As we reach the end of June 2020, Xiaomi’s first phase of MIUI 12 rollout is complete, as many more devices have been added since the initial rollout. This article will serve as the central repository of download links for all Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices that have received their official MIUI 12 stable updates. We’ll update it regularly with fresh builds!

MIUI 12: Features

MIUI 12 was announced in April 2020, following the footsteps of MIUI 11 that gained massive popularity thanks to Xiaomi’s hardware push as well as the feature abundance within the UX.

MIUI 12 Hands-on: 12 interesting new features added in Xiaomi’s Android OS

MIUI 12 brings along a cleaner UI, new animations, changes to navigation gestures, new live wallpapers and AOD designs, privacy indicators for microphone, camera, and location usage, improvements to multi-window and Picture-in-Picture, an in-built sleep tracker, and many more changes throughout the UX!

List of Devices that have received stable MIUI 12

This article covers devices that have received a stable MIUI 12 update in any region. If you are looking for closed betas, you can follow along our dedicated coverage here:

Here are the devices that currently have a stable MIUI 12 build available. Note that the devices are sorted alphabetically for their codename.

Generic flashing instructions are available at the bottom of this article. However, we advise users to refer to the device forums for specific flashing instructions for their device, in case there are any variations or special instructions that need to be followed.

Another important point to note: Xiaomi follows only a thin distinction between “beta stable” update and “stable” updates. Beta stable updates are only intended for users enrolled within 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. Once the Mi Pilot beta testers give positive feedback, the same build then gets opened up as stable release, creating a lot of confusion — for instance, the same builds linked below first failed to install on my Redmi Note 7 Pro, but then appeared through the official OTA. If you get the error message that the update is for closed beta testers only, you can sideload the update through TWRP.

Flashing Instructions for MIUI 12

Note that these are generic flashing instructions that should generally be applicable across Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices. However, there is a possibility that there is a variation that is unique to your device, so we strongly advise visiting your device forums for device-specific instructions.

Recovery ROM Installation

Recovery ROMs come with a .zip file extension and can be installed either through the Local Update method from within MIUI, or through the Xiaomi stock recovery. You can also use a custom recovery like TWRP for installing these ROMs, though do note that device-specific instructions may differ in that case.

1. Local Update method:
   1. Transfer the download .zip file to your phone, and ensure you place the file in the “downloaded_rom” folder in the internal storage of your device. If no such folder exists, create one in your internal storage base directory.
   2. Within your phone, navigate to Settings > About Phone > System Update, and then press the three-dot icon in the top-right corner, and select “Choose Update Package”.
   3. If the “Choose Update Package” option is missing, tap on the MIUI logo 10 times to activate the option.
   4. Choose the downloaded .zip file.
   5. Wait for the update to install.
2. Recovery method:
   1. Rename the downloaded .zip file to update.zip and transfer it to the base directory of your phone’s internal storage.
   2. Reboot your phone into recovery mode by powering it off and then pressing both the Power and the Volume Up buttons together.
   3. Scroll to the “Install update.zip” option using the volume keys, and select the option using the power button.
   4. Wait for the update to install.
   5. Choose the “Reboot” option if your phone does not reboot by itself after installation is completed.

Fastboot ROM Installation

Fastboot ROMs come with a .tgz file extension and require a Windows computer for the installation, as well as a phone with an unlocked bootloader. However, despite being comparatively more complicated to install than Recovery ROMs, Fastboot ROMs are sometimes the only way to boot into a working system. For instructions on unlocking the bootloader of your phone, check your device’s subforums on XDA.

1. Download MiFlash Tool on your Windows computer. The latest version can be found in Step 1 of this link. Once downloaded, extract the tool and install it. It is also advisable to have ADB and Fastboot installed, just in case you need it.
2. Reboot your phone into Download mode by powering it off and then pressing both the Power and Volume Down buttons together.
3. Connect your phone to the computer using the appropriate USB cable.
4. Download the Fastboot ROM .tgz file and extract it. Remember the extract location, as you will need to paste the address into MiFlash Tool.
5. Run MiFlash Tool on your Windows Computer and in the address bar within the tool, paste the extract location from Step 4.
6. Click “Refresh” within MiFlash and the app should automatically recognize your device.
7. Click “Run” within MiFlash to flash the ROM file to the device.
8. The progress bar within MiFlash will turn green, which indicates that the ROM was successfully installed. Your device should boot automatically to the new version.

Alleged Moto G 5G (Motorola Edge Lite?) render reveals dual hole-punch cutout and quad cameras

For the last few years, Motorola had focussed on entry-level and mid-range smartphones, diversifying its product portfolio with the Moto E, Moto G, and the Motorola One series. It re-entered the premium segment last year with the rebirth of the Motorola Razr followed by the launch of the Edge and Edge+ 5G flagship devices in April this year. This month, we also received some information about a third premium 5G device – the Motorola Edge Lite – that may be coming to the U.S. on Verizon. Now, we have fresh information about the phone including a leaked digital render as well as hints about its possible naming Moto G 5G for markets outside the U.S.

Respectable leaker Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) recently made the renders of the upcoming Motorola smartphone available via their Patreon. They further mention the name Moto G 5G for the device with model number XT2075-3 which was recently certified by FCC and believed to be the Motorola Edge Lite by trusted tipster Ishan Agarwal (via Pricebaba).

Interestingly, when we ran the IMEIs listed in the FCC listing for this device through an IMEI database, they corresponded to a “Moto 5 5G Plus.” As we learned earlier, there are two different models of the said phone – XT2075-1 and XT2075-3 – and we believe that the former could be available in the U.S. on Verizon as the Motorola Edge Lite while the latter could be a global variant for markets such as Europe, Japan, Middle East, and LATAM as the Moto G 5G or Moto G 5G Plus. However, there is no definitive proof that confirms either of the names.

Coming back to the digital render shared by Evan Blass, it portrays a quad-camera arrangement on the back and dual hole-punch cameras on the front. The render also confirms the primary camera in this arrangement will utilize a 48MP Samsung GM1 sensor, as reported previously. Our earlier report also noted that the other three sensors will have resolutions of 16MP, 8MP, and 5MP. Meanwhile, the two cameras on the front are likely to include an 8MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor.

Furthermore, there is a volume rocker on the right side of the phone adjacent to the power button which also seems to feature the fingerprint scanner. On the other edge is another button, which is most likely a dedicated hotkey for Google Assistant.

Like Motorola Edge, the display is expected to measure 6.7-inches, have a resolution of 2520×1080, and a refresh rate of 90Hz. However, unlike the Edge series, the display will not be curved and the same has been confirmed by the render shared by @evleaks.

Download: Xiaomi Redmi 7A receives stable beta Android 10 update with MIUI 11

Update (06/30/2020 @ 06:40 AM ET): Android 10 beta stable recovery ROM download link has been added for the Indian variant of the Redmi 7A. Scroll to the bottom for more information. The article as published on June 19, 2020, is preserved below.

The Redmi A series is intended for the entry-level Android smartphone market, and the lineup truly offers the best bang for the buck. They can easily outperform the Android Go-powered phones from the same budget segment, thanks to the better hardware configuration. In terms of software updates, Xiaomi usually delivers one major Android version update to these phones, albeit the MIUI layer is refreshed more than once before EOL. Staying true to its reputation, the company has now rolled out the Android 10 update for the Redmi 7A.

Redmi 7A XDA Forums

The Snapdragon 439-powered Redmi 7A was launched back in 2019 with an exceptionally low ₹5,799 ($85) price tag for the base (2GB RAM/16GB storage) version. The factory-installed operating system was MIUI 10 on top of Android 9 Pie. Although Xiaomi managed to deliver the MIUI 11 update in a fairly quick manner, they didn’t upgrade the underlying Android layer at that time.

Redmi 7A XDA Review – Great Phone, Even Greater Pricing

The wait is finally over, as the long-anticipated Android 10 update has now landed on the Redmi 7A. At the time of reporting, the OTA is available on the European variant of the phone, but it is technically possible to cross-flash it on other regional models. The version number of the new build, which is still based on MIUI 11, is V11.0.1.0.QCMEUXM, and it bumps the Android security patch level (SPL) to May 2020. Other regions should get their updates soon.

Download MIUI V11.0.1.0.QCMEUXM for the Redmi 7A (code-name: “pine”)

• Recovery ROM (1.6GB)

It is worth mentioning that the aforementioned build is considered as “stable beta” at the time of publishing. As a result, users need an “authorized Mi Account” (with beta tester privileges) to sideload the above package. The restriction can be bypassed by flashing the recovery ROM using a custom recovery like TWRP. Once Xiaomi greenlights the build to be stable enough, they will flip a server-side switch to remove the Mi Account verification requirement. The same download file will then be installable on the phone without needing a beta tester Account. But as of right now, you can either flash it through TWRP, or arrange for an authorized Mi Account with beta tester privileges.

---

Update: Redmi 7A units in India are also receiving Android 10 update

The Indian variant of the Redmi 7A is now getting its Android 10 update with the May 2020 security patches in the “stable beta” form. The build number is V11.0.1.0.QCMINXM. You can download the relevant recovery ROM by clicking on this link.

Samsung rolls out the July 2020 security update to the Galaxy S10, Galaxy Z Flip, and Galaxy A50

Samsung recently pushed out the July 2020 security patches to its flagship Galaxy S20 series. This early security patch release was possible since Google notifies Android Partners about the Android framework and Linux kernel issues listed in a particular Android Security Bulletin (ASB) at least 30 days before the public release. Now three more devices from the Korean OEM’s portfolio – the Galaxy S10, the Galaxy Z Flip, and the Galaxy A50 – have picked up new updates with the July 2020 patchset.

Galaxy S10

As reported by SamMobile, the July 2020 security update for the Exynos-powered Galaxy S10 lineup (model number SM-G97xF) with the firmware version G97xFXXS7CTF3 is now rolling out in several European countries. Judging from the version number, the new build doesn’t carry any significant new feature except the obvious bump in the Android security patch level (SPL). The company is expected to release the equivalent update for the Snapdragon Galaxy S10 variants in the coming weeks.

XDA Forums: Galaxy S10e || Galaxy S10 || Galaxy S10 Plus

Galaxy Z Flip

The global version of the Galaxy Z Flip (model number SM-F700F) is now receiving the July 2020 security patch update in a bunch of regions. This new build is tagged as F700FXXS2ATF3 and comes in at about 210MB in size. Just like the case of the Galaxy S10 series, it is a typical security maintenance release.

Galaxy Z Flip XDA Forums

Galaxy A50

Lastly, we have the mid-range Galaxy A50. It’s good to see that the early availability of security updates is not limited to Samsung’s flagship phones only. At the time of writing this article, the SM-A505FN variant of the Galaxy A50 has received the new build with the version number A505FNXXU5BTF5. The OTA is currently rolling out in the TPH region, which is Samsung’s code for Portugal. We can’t spot the exact changelog, but the pattern of the build number indicates that the update bundles a handful of new features along with the July 2020 patches.

Galaxy A50 XDA Forums

Samsung has yet to publish the details of the July 2020 security bulletin on their site. The updates are rolling out in batches, but you can skip the queue and download the new firmware packages directly from the Samsung update server using Frija.

As seen in previous leaks, the latest devices in the Xiaomi Redmi 9 series feature large 5,000mAh batteries, notched displays, and MediaTek’s new chipsets. The new Redmi 9A features a design reminiscent of older devices in the series and is powered by the MediaTek G25 chip. The device features a 6.53-inch HD+ display (1600×720 pixels) with a waterdrop style notch, up to 3GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and 32GB of eMMC 5.1 storage.

In the camera department, the device packs in a single 13MP f/2.2 camera on the back and a 5MP f/2.2 selfie shooter over on the front. As mentioned earlier, the device features a massive 5,000mAh battery that includes support for 10W fast charging using the included charging brick. In terms of ports, the device includes a micro USB port for charging and data syncing, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack. The device doesn’t include a fingerprint sensor, but it does support face unlock using the selfie camera.

The Redmi 9C, on the other hand, features a slightly different design with a square camera module on the back, instead of the vertically oriented camera module found on the Redmi 9A, and it’s powered by the MediaTek Helio G35 chip. The device includes the same 6.53-inch HD+ display (1600×720 pixels) with a waterdrop style notch, up to 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and up to 64GB of eMMC 5.1 storage.

In the camera department, the device features a triple camera setup on the back with a 13MP f/2.2 primary camera, a 2MP f/2.4 macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. Over on the front, the device features the same 5MP f/2.2 selfie shooter. Much like the Redmi 9A, the Redmi 9C features a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W fast charging using the included charger. In terms of ports, the device features a micro USB port for charging and data syncing, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack. Unlike the Redmi 9A, the Redmi 9C does include a capacitive fingerprint scanner on the back panel.

Pricing and Availability

The Redmi 9A has been launched in Malaysia at a price of RM359 (~$84) for the 2GB+32GB variant. The device comes in three color variants — Granite Gray, Peacock Green, and Sky Blue — and will be available for purchase on Lazada and Shopee starting from July 7th. The device will also be available at all authorized Mi stores in Malaysia starting from 14th July. As of now, the company hasn’t released any information about the pricing and availability for the 3GB+32GB variant, except for the fact that it will be available in Indonesia.

The 2GB+32GB variant of the Redmi 9C has been priced at RM429 (~$100) and it also comes in three color variants — Midnight Gray, Sunrise Orange, and Twilight Blue. The device will be available for purchase towards the end of July in Malaysia and, much like the Redmi 9A, the higher-end 4GB+64GB variant of the device will be launched in Indonesia.
