https://www.gizchina.com/2025/03/10/xiaomi-civi-5-pro-leak-hints-at-ultra-slim-design-with-a-large-battery/

Xiaomi once again nuked this device. After months of telling us to report and wait for a windows link integration, the message as usual for their failure is "hardware not supported" when cheaper redmi's and Xiaomi 13 got it


2. With these they say POCO X6 Pro don't support Xiaomi HyperAI, where it's Chinese variant Redmi K70E has all features.

But Global team u know
in official global HyperAI list there is no POCO X6 Pro, But X7 Pro available. They only love latest models, and X6 Pro is only 1 year old but still they are not providing HyperAI!

Pixel 4a battery update was due to overheating risk

The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission’s Product Safety regulator shared a “Project Safety Recall’ notice on March 7 for Google Pixel 4a which noted that the “firmware update provides new battery management features to mitigate the risk of overheating.” In general, an “overheating battery could pose a risk of fire and/or burns to a user.”

Google dual sourced battery for the Pixel 4a for cost cutting. The ATL battery models 4a are unaffected and going well as usual. However, with the Lishen battery model, there was a risk for overheating and thus Google pushed an update which reduced the battery capacity of the device and impacted the charging performance as well.

In return, Google offered compensation in terms of battery replacement or 50$ payment or 100$ discount code on the purchase of a new pixel device.
