Xiaomi reveals how the Mi 10 Youth/Mi 10 Lite Zoom periscope works

Posted: 29 Apr 2020 09:18 AM PDT

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth is the most affordable, thinnest phone with a periscope zoom lens yet - the company posted a detailed explanation of periscopes and how the Youth edition managed to claim those titles. First of, you may have heard the term focal length used to describe the zooming capabilities of a lens. It comes from the distance between the lens and the image sensor, which is proportional to the distance from the lens to the object being photographed. But since modern phones are not much thicker than 10mm or so (even including the camera hump), focal length on traditional...

You can now share Mi Band 4 heart rate data with other apps

Posted: 29 Apr 2020 07:41 AM PDT

An update for some Mi Band 4 owners has arrived bringing some a couple of neat features. The new software version is V1.0.9.48 and lets you share your heart rate data with other devices or applications and re-designed display settings in the app on the phone allows you to rate watch faces in the store. The heart rate sharing bit isn't exactly new as it has been around ever since Mi Band 3 but Xiaomi later removed it from the Mi Band 4 feature list. We are happy to see it return as some prefer other fitness-related apps instead of being forced to use the Mi Fit app. The band can...

Posted: 29 Apr 2020 06:53 AM PDT

Xiaomi is fast-tracking the unveiling of a new phone, the Mi Note 10 Lite will launch tomorrow, and it seems that in the rush a store in Russia published all the details, including the price.

Samsung Galaxy M31 hits the UK

Posted: 29 Apr 2020 06:05 AM PDT

The Samsung Galaxy M31 was unveiled back in February but remained exclusive to the Indian market. Now, the midranger is making its way to the UK where it will retail for £245 (€280) and will be exclusively sold through Amazon. The main highlight of the device is its beefy 6,000 mAh battery which unsurprisingly held up quite well in our testing, leaving no speculation that it can last two days on a single charge. The phone also sports a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution. Around the back, we have a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide shooter and 5MP macro...
