RIP Alert Slider
In a move to completely copy Apple 1:1, Oppo had decided to remove Alert Slider in favour of customisable button, basically seen as Action button on iPhones. OnePlus has now officially announced the transition.
The new Alert Slider of OnePlus will be called the Rubik's Cube Key. It's main functions:
• One-click mute
• Turn on the flash
• Take screenshots
• Take photos
• Translate
• Customize to quick-launch apps

Xiaomi Unveils New Logo of Redmi in China Since Xiaomi cannot copy Apple's logo unlike their UI and their creativity resides inside the dustbin, thus they ended up making all the letters in uppercase now while making a new logo. Money spent by Xiaomi in developing…
New Redmi Logo has started appearing on boot-up
In November, Xiaomi introduced a rebranded REDMI logo, upgrading the lowercase “Redmi” to the all-cap “REDMI.” The rebranding initially debuted with the Redmi K80 series and now is spreading to older Redmi phones through a system update. Users who boot up their phones will notice the old Redmi boot logo being substituted with new “REDMI” logo.

Google Pixel 10 Series Designs based on CAD
Source
Google Pixel 10 series will look the same as the Pixel 9 series and will have almost same dimensions (152.8 x 72 x 8.6mm), same bezels and same display size as well. Interestingly, regular Pixel 10 (frankel) will sport triple rear camera this time, which means it will get a telephoto lens upgrade.
Google Pixel 10 Display:
• 6.3" (1080x2424 px) OLED
• 60-120hz refresh rate, HDR10+
• 2000 nits (HBM), 3000 nits (peak) brightness
Pixel 10 Pro (blazer) will also have the same 6.3" display, meaning cases for either phone will fit both but it will be a bit brighter (2250nits HBM; 3300nits PEAK).

Don't worry, it's not a bug, it's a feature!
The feature, unfortunately being called a bug, causes Microsoft Copilot to uninstall itself and unpin from the taskbar as well. Thanks Microsoft.
