Redmi Note 11 series to power Snapdragon SoC in global market

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 11 series last month in its home country. The lineup consists of three devices—  Redmi Note 11, Note 11 Pro, and Note 11 Pro+. Reportedly, the family is soon going to debut in global markets including Vietnam. However, the design and other specs will differ for these devices outside China.

Make sure to visit: How to Root Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 (Complete Step by Step Guide)

Starting with the processors, the Chinese variant of the Redmi Note 11 draws power from Dimensity 810. While the Note 11 Pro and Pro+ power Dimensity 920 SoC. But, as per the reports, Vietnam and other global models of the smartphone will equip a Snapdragon chipset. Though these models are also expected to visit China, but with different monikers.

It is still not clear why Xiaomi has decided to use Snapdragon SoCs instead of the default chipset for the global models. Some leaks claim that the shortage of Dimensity chipset stocked in Xiaomi’s facility could be the reason.

Additionally, the same leaks suggest that unknown Snapdragon Chipsets under the Redmi Note 11 Global edition could be the Snapdragon 778G Plus, and Snapdragon 695. But these are just assumptions at the moment. Also, the variants are expected to debut in the first quarter of 2022.

There's another leak again which states that the Redmi Note 11 is expected to arrive as the Redmi Note 11T 5G in India. Whereas, the Note 11 Pro and Pro+ are expected to be renamed as Xiaomi 11i and Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge. The presence of Snapdragon SoC for the Indian variant remains to be a secret.

Google slips Verizon-only Android 12 update to worldwide users

Google is asking the users who are running Android 12 on their compatible pixel devices to upgrade to Android 12, again! The users complain that they are receiving a new pop-up notification that tells them to upgrade their smartphone to the latest operating system. The OTA is arriving on all Pixel handsets including Pixel 3, Pixel 3A, Pixel 4, Pixel 4A, Pixel 4A 5G, the Pixel 5, and the Pixel 5A weighing 1.8GB in size.

For the Google Pixel 4, the new OTA arrives with version SP1A.211105.002.A1/7807550, which actually is a Verizon-only build number carrying November 2021 security patch. This makes it obvious that the software was supposed to release for the Verizon models, but is rolling out for worldwide users instead.

Now that the update has started to unfurl wider than intended. Hopefully, Google is preparing to stop the process. Also, we are waiting for official words from the company explaining the accident.

Android 12 brings a major overhaul in years. It develops a personal device that adapts to you through its monet engine and Material You design. Moreover, it includes new privacy features & dashboards, scrolling screenshots, fluid animations, refreshed notification shade with brand new Quick Settings tiles, and a whole lot more.

Twitter drops auto-crop feature, will now show full-size images

This year in May, Twitter dismissed the auto-cropping feature on its Android and iOS apps. Now, a similar update is rolling out for Web. This means while scrolling through the Twitter timeline on your web browser, you will see images in their actual size rather than an auto-cropping algorithm making it ambiguous.

The feature was long-awaited for Twitter for Web users. Now finally, you will get a better idea of what you’re looking at. And so will be the case with your own pictures, they will not get awkwardly cropped automatically. The accurate preview of your image, without being formatted will be shared and visible to your followers. All in all, you get to see and post a full picture in a 4K resolution!

Twitter says, “what you see is what you get” on a post referring to a full-size preview window. The picture changes could be a part of last year’s auto-crop controversy.  For the unaware, last year, some users observed that Twitter shows white faces more prominently after applying the auto-crop algorithm. Thus, assuming that the platform may favor white over Black. Maybe the algorithm was all-natural, not biased. But Twitter dropped the feature in any way to avoid any further debate.

Twitter has been experimenting with full-frame images since March. "when you Tweet a single image, how the image appears in the Tweet composer is how it will look on the timeline –– bigger and better,” said the company when the feature was under development.
