• 90Hz adaptive refresh rate (30/48/60/90Hz)
550nits Peak brightness
• Corning Gorilla Glass 3

• Snapdragon 4 gen 2 SoC

According to my counting, it is the 16th smartphone which has been launched under Redmi 12 series (including Note)

Adding Poco too as POCO = Redmi (rebranded), its more than 20 smartphones then

So Xiaomi launched 20+ smartphones for 1 series in 1 year

Imagine the E-Waste Xiaomi creates now
Meanwhile when launching smartphones, Xiaomi claims "We take blah blah blah steps to reduce E-waste to CONSERVE Environment"

Price:
• 4GB + 128GB = Rs. 11,999 (~140$)
• 6GB + 128GB = Rs. 13,499 (~165$)
• 8GB + 256GB = Rs. 15,499 (~190$)

Chrome 116 is receiving one time permissions, like Android
Chrome Developer Blog

In the latest Chrome beta, you'll be able to give a website your location, camera or microphone access for one visit, instead of giving access to it all the time.

The one time permission will expire after:
- you close the tab, navigate it away or discard it
- 16 hours have passed
- you manually revoke the permission
- the page has been in the background (unless it's allowed to run in the background, like with the camera or mic)

You will also notice a tab strip indicator to let you know what tab has access to your camera/microphone in the background.

To enable this, open chrome://flags/#one-time-permission and select enable.

FBI investigation found that FBI was using iPhone Hack Tools

NSO is an Israeli company known for Pegasus Spyware that can remotely hack ANY iphone by sending an iMessage even if the receiver doesn't open it

They also make other spywares such as Landmark that exploits vulnerabilities in cell phones towers/ stations & can tell its accurate Location

In November 2021, U.S.A Blacklisted NSO Group over national security risk

But, in April 2023, a New York Times investigation found that a contractor had bought an NSO spying tool specifically for use by the U.S. Govt.

White House claimed it is unaware & tasked FBI to find out the culprit
During FBI investigation, FBI found that culprit is the FBI itself

The FBI gave its contactor — Riva Network some phone numbers used by drug dealers to locate those devices believing it uses in-house tools.
But, Riva Networks purchased & used NSO Landmark spyware on FBI behalf

In 2019 - 2021, the FBI even used Riva Networks to purchase Pegasus & test it

Microsoft accidentally leaked its internal tool that enables secret Windows 11 features

Microsoft has accidentally leaked an internal tool called as "Staging Tool" that its employees uses as it can enable secret/hidden features of Windows 11.
Its similar to 3rd party GUI based ViveTool app

StagingTool is a command line app that can override A/B testing & lets you toggle feature IDs to gain access to features regardless of if you got them “officially” or not.

The tool was leaked by Microsoft in a “bug bash” quest in the Feedback Hub, where a link to the Staging Tool was included but only intended for internal testers.

Microsoft quickly removed it, but you can still get the TOOL from the chat of the channel

Bug Bash event is held by Microsoft to get feedbacks from Windows 11 testers for fixing all the bugs before it releases its next BIG Windows 11 update in September with native support for RAR & 7-Zip files

Unique phone, Stupid requirements
Twitter

To use Nothing Phone 2, a SIM card is necessary
Carl Pei has region-locked Nothing Phone 2 Indian unit

Its unlikely related to price differences, as in India, it costs just 50$ less than its global counterparts.

Previously, OnePlus (a BBK Brand) made OnePlus 11 region locked to China but you can atleast use it, just cannot make calls or send SMS

But Carl Pei made Nothing Phone 2 unusable only as phone will not pass the initial setup
Nothing utilizes Network Bands to check the region

So if you went outside India with Phone 2 then you cannot RESET else Phone will be locked if Indian SIM Card is not inserted

If you import Phone 2 Indian unit in another countries, it will NOT work as Indian SIM card is required

Even Xiaomi does NOT do region locking of smartphones unlike BBK Brands

Recently Indian Government imposed a licensing requirement for imports of laptops, tablets and personal computers from Aug 3 in a surprise move.
Without license, import of all these electronic items had been banned

But now, Indian Government has delayed the plans & imports can continue as usual

India will now provide a transition period before a new licensing regime for imports of laptops, tablets and personal computers comes into effect.

"Industry has sought a 3-6 month transition period . We are examining the suggestions made by the industry and may soon issue an additional notice with clarifications if needed," A government source told Reuters

This move is aimed at addressing the trade imbalance with China

New Delhi will issue licences for companies to import laptops and tablets within 2 days.
Licences can be obtained online.

Xiaomi is the No.1 Smartphone Brand for producing E- Junk

Let's embrace Xiaomi's impressive collection of recycled smartphones

First up, we had the Redmi Note 12R launched in China with Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip.
After a month later, Xiaomi pulled off magical rebranding tricks & launched the Redmi 12 5G.
Abracadabra! 🪄 The same phone with a different name!

Enter Poco, Xiaomi's "prodigal subsidiary", bringing us the Poco M6 Pro.
And guess what? It's none other than the Redmi 12 5G yet again! 🤦‍♂️🔄

Are Xiaomi's customers unwittingly participating in a grand experiment of rebranding confusion? 🧐
It's like they're playing a game of "Spot the Difference! " with their own products!

All the 3 smartphones uses same codename — 'sky'
Even the prices are same!

Xiaomi believes:
"Why innovate when you can imitate?"

Asus to STOP supporting Unlocking Bootloader
Reddit

ASUS provides its own unlocking tool for its phones same like Chinese brands
Previously, Asus announced that its temporarily stopping its Unlocking tool service to add support for Asus Zenfone 10 unlocking and the service will resume back in Q3

But now some people contacted Asus Customer Care as to when unlocking service will resume as month of August (Q3) has already started

Asus technical support informed that unlocking the bootloader on Asus Zenfones is NO longer possible and won’t be possible in the future.

Although, user's query was related to unlocking Zenfone 9, but Asus support made it clear that Zenfone 10 also will NOT be supported for unlocking the bootloader

But Asus has not yet announced anything officially, so consider it as a rumour only even if news is claimed by Asus support themselves

Nothing introduces its sub-brand — CMF by Nothing

According to Pei, CMF by Nothing will be a more affordable brand & will be focused on delivering "timeless designs" for great prices, along with "quality that's very hard to find" in its price segment.

CMF by Nothing will first launch a TWS earbuds & a smartwatch later this year
Both of the products will be inspired by "Design-LED " philosophy of Nothing

Well, TWS make a lot of profit for a brand since its cheap to manufacture it & then sell it for a higher price

For the smartwatch, Carl Pei tweeted that he feels a Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is useless
Ironically, he is a now launching a better smartwatch for cheap with even LESS features

I wonder what does CMF stands for?
Maybe it means — "Carl Mutual Fund"
What do you think?

Why is Redmi 12 5G with Snapdragon 4 gen 2 so cheap?

Xiaomi launched Redmi 12 5G powered by latest snapdragon 4 gen 2 at just 125$ only

It seems suspicious though, Let's find out!

Xiaomi website mentions that Redmi 12 5G does NOT use proximity & gyroscope sensors!

So, Xiaomi must have used Virtual proximity & gyroscope sensors which are just awful

Virtual proximity sensor is very inconsistent as the screen will turn ON during calls and mis-touches are frequent.
Addition of screen protectors will make it worse

Virtual gyroscope sensors will gave you delays while playing games on the smartphone.
GPS navigation while using the Maps would be inconsistent
It will even use more power from the battery than physical sensors

Fun Fact: Xiaomi China added that Redmi Note 12R uses Virtual proximity & Gyroscope
Xiaomi Global & India "hide it" 🤣

In short, Xiaomi chose to offer a Garbage User Experience while making its smartphone affordable
