Xiaomi HyperOS 4: New features and update schedule

Xiaomi has unveiled the latest HyperOS 4, which will carry the new Android 17 update. The new Xiaomi HyperOS 4 will have an almost entirely new interface as it boards the glass UI hype train. It allows you to heavily customize the lockscreen, resize folders and group widgets, seamlessly switch between portrait and landscape, and the UI attempts to render realistic-looking refractions. HyperOS 4 also brings performance upgrades with better optimization for speeding up app launch time. Xiaomi’s own testing reveals that after using a HyperOS 4 phone for 9 hours, it loaded apps 18% faster compared to HyperOS 3. The software achieved this by using AI to predict what resources a user needd next and preload them into the memory. Xiaomi also made the camera app launch 200ms faster, while the HDR processing algorithm now only takes 240ms (from 310ms). You should also expect faster video playback. More on AI, Xiaomi will use its own MiMo LLM to power its Super...

HONOR Robot Phone: 4DoF Titanium Agile Gimbal, Dual 200MP cameras, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 CPU

At long last, the HONOR Robot Phone has graduated from prototype status and is now officially a market-ready smartphone. The highlight of the HONOR Robot Phone , if you haven’t heard already, is its 4DoF Titanium Agile Gimbal, a first on any smartphone. That’s a DJI Osmo Pocket-like gimbal attached at the back of a high-end smartphone. HONOR achieved this by using over 60 manufacturing processes using 100 precision components. HONOR also passed over 100 patents for this and is considered the smallest 4D gimbal system in the world. While it uses a very light 2.6g titanium gimbal motor, the device is still relatively heavy at 248g. That gimbal holds a sharp 200-megapixel 1/1.28-inch sensor with a bright f/1.6 aperture. AI subject tracking and real-time auto-framing for vloggers are also here. More than photography, the gimbal can be used for other tasks when paired with HONOR’s Yoyo AI assistant. It’s a cool party trick, too, as it c...
