Download: MIUI 12.5 Closed Beta for Xiaomi and Redmi devices [Update: May 28 builds]

The latest version of Xiaomi’s custom Android skin – MIUI 12.5 – is finally here. The first incremental update over MIUI 12 has been unveiled at the Mi 11 launch event in China. Compared to MIUI 12, the stable version of which was released less than six months ago, MIUI 12.5 brings in a slew of improvements, visual overhauls, and a handful of new features. We have already extracted the new live wallpapers, and now we are presenting the downloading links of the first set of MIUI 12.5 beta firmware packages for a bunch of Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices.

It is worth mentioning that these closed beta builds are meant for the Chinese variants, as Xiaomi suspended the rollout of MIUI global beta last year. As a consequence, you have to flash these recovery ROMs using TWRP to bypass the MIUI beta account whitelisting. Do not expect Google Play Services or any pre-installed Google apps in them. Language options are likely limited to English and Chinese only, too. Xiaomi has yet to launch MIUI 12.5 globally. Meanwhile, you can try out the closed betas from China.

The beta MIUI 12.5 builds listed below are based on either Android 10 or Android 11, depending on the device. If you are looking for MIUI 12 stable releases, you can find those here.

Xiaomi’s 200W HyperCharge fast charging can fully charge your phone in 8 minutes

Xiaomi made headlines when it demoed its 100W wired fast charging technology back in 2019, which promised to fully charge a 4,000mAh battery in just 17 minutes. OPPO topped this off with its 125W wired fast charging solution a year later. Now, Xiaomi has just regained the top spot, and by a huge margin.

Fast Charging Explained: The slowest to the fastest Fast Charging technologies

Xiaomi has just shown off its latest fastest charging technology, which the company claims sets a world record for both wired and wireless charging speeds. Xiaomi says its new HyperCharging charging system can charge a 4,000mAh battery in just 8 minutes or in 15 minutes with a wireless charger.

The company demonstrated a modified Mi 11 Ultra charging over a 200W wired charger. The video showed the phone reaching 10% from 0% in just 44 sec, 50% in 3 minutes, with the full charge coming in at just under 8 minutes. Meanwhile, the wireless charging demo shows the phone reaching 10% in 1 minute, 50% in 7 minutes, and 100% in 15 minutes.

Charge up to 100% in just 8 minutes using wired charging and 15 minutes wirelessly! #XiaomiHyperCharge

— Xiaomi (@Xiaomi) May 31, 2021

Don’t hold your breath for the next Mi flagship to ship with a 200W charger, though. The new HyperCharge charging technology is far from being ready for the commercial release. Even Xioami’s current 120W charging technology has only made its debut on a single device yet — Mi 10 Ultra. Xiaomi decided to drop the 120W charging on subsequent devices due to concerns of severe reduction in battery lifespan in the longer run. As a result, the company’s 2021 flagship, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, tops out at 67W for wired and wireless charging. According to Xiaomi’s own preliminary test data, the capacity of a 100W fast-charging battery can be about 20% less than a standard 30W charging battery.

Realme X7 Max 5G launches as the first MediaTek Dimensity 1200 smartphone outside of China

Back in February, Realme launched its X7 series of sub-premium smartphones powered by MediaTek’s high-performing chipsets in the Dimensity series. The Realme X7 Pro powered by Dimensity 1000+ also stood out as a notable contender in a saturated smartphone market like India. Today, Realme is launching a new phone in the series — the Realme X7 Max 5G, powered by Mediatek’s flagship Dimensity 1200 chipset, which is expected to power upcoming phones such as POCO F3 GT as well as the OnePlus Nord CE.

The Realme X7 Max is the first smartphone with Dimensity 1200 to launch outside of China. The phone, however, is not new and was launched recently in China as the Realme GT Neo in March 2021. Dimensity 1200 is a 6nm chipset with its CPU arranged in 1+3+4 orientation, comprising one peak-performance ARM Cortex-A78 core, three Cortex-A78 cores for high power output, and four Cortex-A55 cores for efficiency. Notably, the Dimensity 1200’s architecture is similar to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, which also uses three Cortex-A78 performance cores in addition to the Prime Cortex-X1 core and four efficiency cores.

Besides the powerful Dimensity 1200 chipset, Realme X7 Max comes with up to 12GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the choices between 128GB and 256GB of UFS 3.1 make it a worthy choice in the flagship killer segment. Unfortunately, you do not get the option to expand the storage using an SD card.

When it comes to the dimensions, the Realme X7 Max is quite identical to the Realme X7. Realme uses a dual-texture design for the X7 Max with a Realme logo inside a hologram for the back panel. It comes in three colors — Milky Way, Mercury Silver, and Asteroid Black. Realme uses polycarbonate for the back panel and the frame to keep the weight of the smartphone under check.

On the front of the smartphone, Realme uses a 6.43-inch Full HD+ display with a hole-punch cutout. The display has a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals and a 360Hz touch sampling rate for lag-free touch response, especially while gaming.

In terms of cameras, the Realme X7 Max features a 64MP triple camera setup, putting it behind Realme’s mid-rangers with 108MP cameras. Besides the Sony IMX686 sensor for the primary camera, the phone features an 8MP ultrawide-angle camera and a 2MP macro camera.

When it comes to charging, Realme X7 Max features a 4500mAh battery. The phone also gets support for 50W fast charging using Realme’s SuperDart protocol. For connectivity, there’s dual-standby 5G and Wi-Fi 6 alongside dual-frequency GNSS. The phone also gets VoNR (voice over 5G new radio) and 5G carrier aggregation. It supports several 5G bands such as N1, N28A, N40, N41, N77, N78, and N79.

Lastly, when it comes to software, the Realme X7 Max 5G runs on Android 11 with Realme’s custom UI — Realme UI 2.0 — on top of it. The UI is based on OPPO’s ColorOS, and Realme might return to ColorOS, just like OnePlus in China, for future updates.

Realme launches new 4K Android TVs in a market dominated by Mi TVs

Realme is a young consumer electronics brand with a fairly wide user base in Asia and Europe. Realme entered the Android TV market in May 2020 with two budget Android TVs, followed by a 55-inch SLED 4K TV in September 2020. Now, the company is launching two new 4K Android TVs in up to 50-inch sizes with Dolby Vision. Along with the TVs, Realme has also launched the Realme X7 Max 5G smartphone powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200 flagship chipset.

The new Realme TVs feature LED panels in 43-inch and 50-inch sizes. The panel has an aspect ratio of 16:9 with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. Realme claims the display can produce up to 1.07 billion colors with its proprietary Chroma Boost color profile that results in punchy and saturated colors. Unlike smartphones, punchy and boosted colors enhance the viewing experience on TVs, as we saw in our review of the 43″ Realme Full HD TV last year. Realme claims the displays support 83% of NTSC and 90% of DCI-P3 color gamuts. For better HDR, the new TVs come with Dolby Vision.

In terms of audio, the Realme 4K TV series comes with the same quad-speaker setup with a combined output of 24W. The speaker setup comprises one full-range speaker and one tweeter for both left and right channels. For enhanced audio, the TV comes with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS HD sound standards. The TVs come with four inbuilt microphones for far-field voice input.

Internally, the Realme 4K TVs are powered by a quad-core MediaTek SoC with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. Additionally, there are numerous connectivity options, including up to three HDMI ports, of which one supports ARC, two USB 2.0 ports, a LAN port, Digital audio out port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and support for dual-band Wi-Fi.

The Realme 4K TVs run on Android 10 TV software with the standard Android TV interface in terms of software. The TVs are certified for Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

Realme TV 43″: Specifications

Specification	Realme TV 43″
Display	43-inch or 50-inch 3840 x 2160 pixels LED-backlit LCD panel 178° field of view 16:9 aspect ratio

Google reportedly tried to persuade Android OEMs to obscure location settings

New information coming out from an ongoing lawsuit against Google has revealed the Search giant willfully made it difficult for Android users to turn off location data collection.

As per the newly unredacted documents (via Business Insider) in the Arizona lawsuit against Google, the search giant went out of its way to collect location data from users. Google continued to collect location information even after the user disabled and opted out of all app-specific tracking settings. The documents reveal that Google even tried to persuade Android OEMs to obscure location settings “through active misrepresentations and/or concealment, suppression, or omission of facts” on Android phones.

Internal Google emails show, even Google’s own engineers and executives were puzzled about the company’s location data collection practices.

“So there is no way to give a third-party app your location and not Google?, a Google employee says in the newly unredacted documents. ”This doesn’t sound like something we would want on the front page of the NYT.”

“Real people just think in terms of ‘location is on,’ ‘location is off’ because that’s exactly what you have on the front screen of your phone.,” another employee is quoted as saying in one of the documents.

The Arizona lawsuit, filed by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich in May 2020, alleges that Google engaged in shady practices to illegally track Android users’ location data and used those data to make more than $130 billion in ad revenue in 2019 through targeted ads.

In an interview with FOX Business last week, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said that the stuff we’ve uncovered so far is shocking, adding that “it just confirms that Google is doing everything it can to spy on everyone it can, without providing any sort of notice to anyone.”

In response to this new development, a Google spokesperson provided the following response to The Verge:

The Attorney General and our competitors driving this lawsuit have gone out of their way to mischaracterize our services. We have always built privacy features into our products and provided robust controls for location data. We look forward to setting the record straight.

Intel announces new ultrabook CPUs, hitting 5GHz in the U-series

It’s COMPUTEX, which means that there are some in-bound announcements from Intel. They range from new U-series CPUs to a new 5G modem. First up is the new Core i5-1155G7 and Core i7-1195G7.

The U-series Core i7 already had two tiers, the Core i7-1165G7 and Core i7-1185G7, but this is another level. The base clock speed is a bit lower than the 3GHz Core i7-1185G7, but the single-core turbo speed of the Intel Core i7-1195G7 is the first U-series processor to hit 5GHz. It uses Intel turbo Boost Technology 3.0.

The Intel Core i5-1155G7 doesn’t get 5GHz, but the effect is the same. It has a slightly lower base clock speed and a slightly higher Turbo speed. The amount of Iris Xe execution units remains the same – 80 in the Core i5 and 96 in the Core i7 – but the max frequency is boosted by 50MHz. It’s now 1.4GHz in the Core i7-1195G7 and 1.35GHz in the core i5-1155G7.

Intel is also promising big performance improvements over its competition. Note that even in its press release, Intel is calling these Windows chips, so the competition here is AMD.

Intel said that there’s an overall 25% performance advantage over its competition, meaning the Ryzen 7 5800U. And indeed, the examples that Intel chose to show do absolutely beat out its AMD counterparts. Intel also touted big gaming boosts over the competition.

Intel says that more than 60 designs with the new Core i5-1155G7 and the 5GHz Core i7-1195G7 should be available by this holiday season.

“We’ve taken the world’s best processor for thin-and-light Windows laptops and made the experience even better with the addition of our two new 11th Gen Intel Core processors with Intel Iris Xe graphics,” said Chris Walker, Intel corporate vice president and general manager of Mobility Client Platforms. “In addition, we know real-world performance and connectivity are vital to our partners and the people that rely on PCs every day, so we’re continuing that momentum with more platform capabilities and choice in the market with the launch of our first 5G product for PCs – the Intel 5G solution 5000.”

There’s one more thing, which is actually pretty notable. The company announced Intel 5G Solution 5000, an M.2 5G modem for PCs. You might recall that Qualcomm recently did the same, and it’s all about putting 5G in x86 laptops. You might recall that back in 2019, Intel stopped developing its own 5G, and later it partnered with MediaTek. It promised to deliver in 2021, and now here we are.

It comes at a time that there are already plenty of Intel-powered 5G PCs that use Qualcomm modems. It’s just that now, Intel is going to have its own solution, just hardware from Fibocom and firmware from MediaTek.

By the end of this year, Acer, ASUS, and HP are set to be the first to use Intel 5G Solution 5000, and they’re going to be PCs with U-series and PCs with H-series processors. It’s expecting 30 designs going into 2022.
