🚨 Xiaomi Watch Users, You've Been Played 🚨

Remember when Xiaomi promised built-in AI on your HyperOS smartwatch? Turns out, instead of the on-device AI, your queries and images are now sent straight to some third-party service called *AI Zone* – because clearly nothing says “trust” in handing your personal data to a mystery provider you’ve never heard of.

Even better? It's now $4/month for the privilege. That’s right – they stripped out the feature (meant to be free), outsourced it, slapped a price tag on it, and called it a day. The FAQ section notes that:
• Q/A is 10 times free use
• Watch Face is 20 times free use

And the cherry on top? Some users report even the “trial” doesn’t work. Peak Ximi moment. Also, for the voice recognition feature which later costs 4$/month, you need to speak slowly for better success rates.

Enjoy the ✨AI experience✨ – brought to you by a company that's, not.... Xiaomi.

Did you know HyperOS China now thinks you’re a bot?

You tap “Install APK” nine times today and suddenly the OS demands you solve a jigsaw puzzle to prove your humanity, because nothing screams “modern UX” like captcha-gating your users from app installations.

Your trusty Telegram? Nope, Risk verification first. Slide the puzzle piece into place, unlock the Narendra Modi tears, then maybe you’ll earn the right to install one more app.

All aboard the Quantum Install Blocker™, where your phone decides you’re too active, too curious, and definitely not a developer.

And people say China HyperOS bhai goated af.

Reports claim that Azerbaijan Technology is working to bypass this captcha through the use of LLM (Lotta Lil Moneys) technology.

Xiaomi India’s PR & Marketing Director Is Just as Delulu as Xiaomi Fans

Recently, on Twitter, a few users started talking about Xiaomi’s lack of new launches, for example no news of Xiaomi 15 Civi launch date in India yet and how the brand has been slacking in general. One guy even made a whole thread explaining why Xiaomi India is failing, pointing out issues like keeping better models China exclusive, awful after sales, midrangers like Redmi series offer inferior specs compared to competition, and so on. Others joined in, sharing their own thoughts and experiences, eventually making it a constructive criticism, not just random hate.

Now, Xiaomi India’s Associate Director of Marketing and PR responded, saying it must be a “coincidence” that every year around Xiaomi’s anniversary, people start posting negative things about the brand. He admitted that Xiaomi needs to improve, but he also claimed that some of the criticism seemed biased, calling it a "group work" — as if the users were all working together to bring the brand down. It honestly felt like he was deflecting the blame, saying the criticism wasn’t genuine but part of some coordinated attack. The truth is, people aren’t complaining because of Xiaomi’s anniversary as no one cares about it. They’re frustrated because of real issues the brand has been ignoring for a while.

Here's What Coming With The Google Pixel 10 Series

Google has officially revealed the design of the Pixel 10 series which will be same as that of Pixel 9 series but it will be a bit heavier. Pixel 10 , Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL will weigh 204g, 207g and 232g respectively, which is up from 198g (P9), 199g (P9p) and 221g (P9p XL). Although its the same design, but there will be new colors.

Pixel 10: Obsidian, Indigo, Frost & Limoncello
Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL: Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone & Jade
Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Moonstone and Jade

The biggest update of the Pixel 10 series is the processor as the Tensor G5 will be manufactured by TSMC and will feature a IMG PowerVR GPU, specifically DXT 48-1536 GPU with 2CU. Modem will remain the same i.e Samsung Exynos 5400, but it could be a newer revision. Also, the Tensor G5 will have a fully custom ISP developed entirely by Google.

For the display, the screen will be 200~250nits brighter than the Pixel 9 series. The HDR brightness will be 2000nits (P10), 2250nits (P10p & 10p XL) and 1850nits (P10p Fold). Google is also upgrading the Display Dimming this time & it rumoured to feature 480Hz PWM Dimming at 120Hz refresh rate. Also, the display will support "Adaptive Tone" feature — dynamically adapts the display to warmer or cooler tones based on the ambient lightning. Basically, the ambient EQ feature of the Pixel 4 is coming back.

Camera will remain the same as the 9 Series except for the Pixel 10. Thus, Pixel 10 Pro & 10 Pro XL will get 50MP main (GNV, OIS) + 48MP Ultrawide (GM5) + 48MP Telephoto (GM5, OIS). Pixel 10 will feature a Telephoto sensor this time but at the cost of the main sensor as it will be a downgrade. Pixel 10 will get 50MP main GN8 sensor, the same used in Pixel 9a while the Pixel 9 has a GNV sensor. Telephoto will be 12MP Samsung 3J1.
One nice upgrade to camera this time is the addition of "Rear Telephoto Macro" photography across all pixel 10 models.

Pixel 10 will once again lack vapor chamber while Pixel 10 Pro & XL will feature bigger VC than Pixel 9 Pro/XL. Only Pixel 10 Pro XL will start at 256GB storage while Pixel 10 & 10 Pro will start from 128GB as usual. Pixel 10 Pro XL will have the biggest battery at 5200mAh (39W wired charging), followed by Pixel 10 at 4970mAh, Pixel 10 Pro at 4870mAh (29W wired) and Pixel 10 Pro Fold will have 5015mAh. Also, all models will support 15W wireless charging.

Pixel 10 series notes “Qi2 Wireless Charging” support, and others detailing a new “Pixelsnap” ecosystem of accessories that leverages magnets. “Pixelsnap” is said to include a “Charger,” “Ring Stand,” and “Charger with Stand.” Google’s official cases this year will have built-in magnets but its still unknown if the phones themselves will have magnets built in for Qi2 or it will be just "Qi2 ready" like the OnePlus 13 or Galaxy smartphones.
