Poco F6 Features AI Virtual Proximity Sensor, an upgrade from Physical Proximity on the F5

Xiaomi loves to hype its products and for that, it even 'hides' some specifications about its products from its users in the hope that they will sell well and people will NOT notice

But Elliptic Labs has confirmed that the Poco F6 gets a Virtual AI Proximity Sensor; an upgrade from physical proximity used on the Poco F5

Xiaomi has also removed the 3.5mm Headphone Jack from the Poco F6, which is available on the Poco F5

Although Xiaomi has removed the 2MP useless camera with the Poco F6 that is featured in the F5, the Poco F6 also uses the same TCL CSoT C8 Display panel co-developed by Xiaomi which ended up offering the WORST Display Uniformity on the flagships

Poco F6 will likely launch in June 2024

The first Android 15 beta is HERE! Android 15 Beta 1 is rolling out today to users enrolled in the Android beta program. Supported devices include the Pixel 6 and newer, as well as the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold.

Here’s what’s new in Android 15 Beta 1, according to Google:

* As I first reported, apps targeting Android 15 are now displayed edge-to-edge by default when running on Android 15! This means apps won’t have to call the edge-to-edge APIs to show content behind system bars in Android 15, though they should call those APIs to do so in earlier releases. To assist app developers in supporting edge-to-edge, many Material 3 composables handle insets for you.

* Another Android 15 feature I first reported on is app archiving, which went live in DP2 but Google is now choosing to highlight in Beta 1. Android 15 includes OS level support for app archiving and unarchiving, making it easier for third-party app stores to support it (Google Play already does since last year). App store developers should check out the new PackageInstaller APIs while launcher developers should check out the new LauncherApps APIs to learn how to handle archived apps.

* The TalkBack accessibility service in Android 15 now supports Braille displays that use human interface devices over USB and Bluetooth.

* There’s also now an OS-level API for E2EE of contact keys so users can securely manage and verify other people’s contact information, enhancements to the NFC observe mode to allow apps to register a fingerprint so they can be notified of polling loop activity, inter-character text justification support, a new ProfilingManager class to collect profiling info from within apps, and additional changes to prevent malicious background apps from bringing other apps to the foreground.

Android 15 Beta 1 is the first of 4 planned beta releases. Beta 2 will very likely be unveiled at Google I/O on May 14, while Beta 3 will happen sometime in June and Beta 4 sometime in July. Beta 3 is when Platform Stability will be reached.
